Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed a major multiyear deal with Netflix last fall. At the time of the announcement, all we knew was that they'd be producing a variety of projects that would include documentaries, docuseries, feature films, scripted shows, and children's programming, exclusively for Netflix. So far, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have debuted their first documentary event with the streamer, "Harry & Meghan," which premiered its first three episodes on Dec. 8 and its final three on Dec. 15.

Other projects Harry and Markle have been revealed to be working on is another docuseries titled "Heart of Invictus," which will reportedly center around the 2022 Invictus Games that were initially supposed to take place in 2020. However, since news of the project first broke in April 2021, no new updates have been shared, including if the 2022 Invictus Games will still be the subject with a date already set for next year's event.

Additionally, Markle was slated to release a Netflix animated series titled "Pearl" — which would've followed a 12-year-old girl who found inspiration in the stories of famous women throughout history — but back in May, Deadline reported that the streamer axed the project, citing a drop in its stock as the cause.

It's unclear what else Markle and Harry have in the pipeline, but knowing how dedicated they are to shining light on important causes, something tells us their next project will be right in line with that. Keep reading for everything we know about Harry and Markle's forthcoming Netflix projects.

"Harry & Meghan"

"Harry & Meghan" is a six-part docuseries that chronicles the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's high-profile love story, from their secret courtship to their grandiose wedding. Part one of the documentary rolled out its first three episodes on Dec. 8, sharing new details about the start of Harry and Markle's romance, in addition to their experiences with the British press and royal family while they were still active members. The last three episodes, which premiered on Dec. 15, gave new insight into the couple's decision to leave the royal family, their friendship with Tyler Perry, and the current status of their relationship with the monarchy.

"Heart of Invictus"

Per Variety, the couple's Netflix series will center on Harry's beloved Invictus Games, a seven-day sporting event he created in 2014 to help aid the physical, psychological, and social recovery of active-duty soldiers and veterans. The show's title is "Heart of Invictus," and it will follow athletes as they prepare for the 2022 Invictus Games in The Hague, the Netherlands.

"Since the very first Invictus Games back in 2014, we knew that each competitor would contribute in their own exceptional way to a mosaic of resilience, determination, and resolve," Harry said in a statement on Archewell's website. "This series will give communities around the world a window into the moving and uplifting stories of these competitors on their path to the Netherlands next year. As Archewell Productions' first series with Netflix, in partnership with the Invictus Games Foundation, I couldn't be more excited for the journey ahead or prouder of the Invictus community for continuously inspiring global healing, human potential and continued service."

Harry is said to appear on camera and serve as executive producer of the docuseries, though no new details have been announced since April 2021.
