The cutbacks at Netflix have touched Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The royal couple’s animated series, Pearl, has been scrapped by the streaming giant. The series, created by the Duchess of Sussex, is the third animated kids’ project to be axed before its debut at the conglomerate.
The series, about a young girl inspired by influential women in history, counted David Furnish and Liz Garbus among its exec producers. Pearl, which was the second project to stem from the royal couple’s overall deal with Netflix, was originally put in development in July 2021. The duo’s Archewell is still readying Heart of Invictus, a docuseries produced with the Invictus Games Foundation to follow competitors from the rescheduled Invictus Games The Hague in 2022. Other projects are said to be in the works from the company as well.
