Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have defied their haters by securing a multi-year “first look” deal with Netflix. Just as important, perhaps, for the couple was a renewed commitment from Netflix to Meghan’s lifestyle brand.

The deal was described by The Hollywood Reporter as “in practice, a downgrade” compared to their 2020 deal. But the couple will doubtless be pleased at having defied the more apocalyptic predictions that Netflix would cut them loose entirely after Meghan’s hostessing show, With Love, Meghan, was savaged by the critics and Harry’s show about polo flopped.

In a press release Monday, Harry and Meghan made their case for the show, saying that With Love, Meghan is Netflix’s most-watched culinary show of the year. The second season is due to drop shortly.
