Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos in a statement said, "We're incredibly proud they have chosen Netflix as their creative home and are excited about telling stories with them that can help build resilience and increase understanding for audiences everywhere."
This comes after Harry and Meghan announced earlier this year they would be stepping back as senior members of the British royal family. It's also the latest high-profile production deal announced by Netflix, which previously signed one with former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama. A documentary from the Obamas' production company won an Oscar earlier this year.
