Now this is not the kind of news that Meghan Markle wants her name attached to. There are new reports that say the Duchess of Sussex has just gotten dumped by Netflix. Apparently, the online streamer has canceled development on “Pearl,” an animated series created by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, marking the latest cost-saving moves. Here’s what you need to know.
The cancellation is part of strategic decisions Netflix is making around animated series. “Pearl,” which was announced last year, is among several projects to be dropped.
Meghan Markle Just Got Dumped By Netflix
Last year the series was described as a family series that centers on the adventures of a 12-year-old girl who finds inspiration in a variety of influential women throughout history. At the time Markle said, “Like many girls her age, our heroine Pearl is on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life’s daily challenges.
I’m thrilled that Archewell Productions, partnered with the powerhouse platform of Netflix and these incredible producers, will together bring you this new animated series, which celebrates extraordinary women throughout history. David Furnish and I have been eager to bring this special series to light, and I am delighted we are able to announce it today.”
In addition, Netflix has also scratched two other kids animated series last week that were in production — Dino Daycare from Ada Twist, Scientist executive producer Chris Nee, and the South Asian-inspired adventure Boons and Curses.
So far Meghan Markle herself has not made any comments about the move. Now, whether or not her reality show with Prince Harry still has the greenlight to move forward remains to be seen.
