Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are believed to have paid up to US$3 million for the rights to Carley Fortune\u0027s novel \u0027Meet Me At The Lake\u0027
The drama will be the first off-camera joint project for the couple as part of their rumoured US$100 million deal with the streaming service, which they signed three years ago.
According to the Wall Street Journal, their Archewell company are working on ‘Bad Manners’, a prequel based on Charles Dickens’ classic character Miss Havisham but with the lonely spinster reimagined as a strong woman living in a patriarchal society, though the show has yet to be greenlit. The outlet reports their suggestions seemed designed to replicate already-successful shows on Netflix, including a sitcom “described as ‘Emily in Paris’, but about a man” and an LGBTQ+ show that would be family-friendly, which was seen as too similar to ‘Heartstopper’.
A spokesperson for Archewell said: “New companies often make changes in their start up phase, both with people and strategy, and we are no exception. We’re more equipped, focused and energised than ever before.”
