Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have just lost their multi-million dollar Spotify deal, but the pair haven’t stayed down for long and appear to be working on a new show with Netflix.
Turning their attention to the small screen, the couple who were rumoured to have signed a US$100 million ($162 million) deal with the streaming giant, are working on a Great Expectations spin-off show according to the Wall Street Journal.
The spinoff, which is reportedly called Bad Manners, will be a prequel to the Charles Dickens’ classic and will follow Miss Havisham who many fans of the author will know to be a lonely spinster. However, while the show is yet to get the sign-off from Netflix bosses, the production - which will be made by Archewell company - will reimagine Havisham to be a strong woman living in a patriarchal society.
Since signing their deal with the streaming giant, the couple has produced their six-part docu-series, Harry and Meghan as well as their documentary programme, Live to Lead and there are reportedly other productions being worked on including Harry’s documentary series about the Invictus Games which is expected to be titled the Heart of Invictus. A release date is yet to be announced.
