Meghan Markle is reportedly facing growing anxiety over her multi-million-dollar deal with Netflix as concerns rise about the future of her much-anticipated Polo documentary series. The former Duchess of Sussex, who signed a lucrative partnership with the streaming giant alongside Prince Harry, is said to be feeling the pressure as their content output faces increased scrutiny.
Insiders suggest that Netflix executives are becoming increasingly cautious about their association with the Sussexes, particularly as their recent projects have failed to deliver blockbuster results. While their tell-all docuseries and Harry’s Heart of Invictus received mixed reviews, Meghan’s Polo series was supposed to be a passion project highlighting the world of high-stakes equestrian sport.
However, reports indicate that the Polo documentary has hit roadblocks, with creative differences and unclear direction causing delays. Industry insiders claim Meghan is feeling ‘panicked’ as she worries the project may not meet Netflix’s expectations.
“A lot is riding on this project,” said a Hollywood source close to the situation. “Meghan knows another underwhelming release could damage her credibility with Netflix and possibly jeopardize their deal altogether.”
The pressure comes as streaming platforms are becoming increasingly competitive, and every high-profile partnership is expected to deliver tangible results. Critics have noted that while Meghan and Harry have significant public recognition, turning that into consistently engaging content remains a challenge.
Netflix has yet to make any public statement about the Polo series or the future of its partnership with the Sussexes. For now, all eyes remain on Meghan Markle as she navigates the storm and works to secure her place in the streaming world.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as Hollywood holds its breath to see if Meghan can turn things around.
