Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s latest show with Netflix is set to hit the screens within weeks, the streaming giant has announced.
POLO, a five-part docuseries produced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Archewell Productions, will be released globally on December 10.
The new show will give an unprecedented look into the sport and show the “fierce rivalries” and “intense training” of those competing in the US Open Polo Championship.
In an announcement made on November 20, Netflix said of the new polo show: “Through fierce rivalries and intense training, viewers will get an unprecedented glimpse into the dedication and skill required to compete at the sport’s highest level.
“From a young player pushed to his limits by his demanding father, to a former golfer who’s made significant sacrifices for the love of the sport, to the father-son duo widely regarded as the greatest players of all time — they all face intense personal and professional challenges as they vie for the coveted title.”
The series will feature Miloš Balać as showrunner and Meghan, Harry, Psynik, Ian Samplin and Boardwalk Pictures’ Andrew Fried, Sarina Roma, and Dane Lillegard as executive producers.
Prince Harry has been keen on the sport for decades and is known to be an avid polo player.
It is one of the two new projects Harry and Meghan are set to launch on Netflix, with the second one being Meghan’s cooking series that will likely coincide with the launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
Meghan is set to curate the cooking series, which will see Leah Hariton as showrunner and Michael Steed as director.
It will be produced by Sony Pictures Television’s Intellectual Property with the duchess, Hariton, Archewell’s Chanel Pysnik, and IPC’s Aaron Saidman and Eli Holzman serving as executive producers, according to the report.
Harry and Meghan have previously produced three series for Netflix via Archewell – their docuseries Harry and Meghan, Heart of Invictus and Live to Lead.
