Meghan MarkleandPrince Harryare heading to Netflix queues everywhere.
PEOPLE has learned that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’shighly anticipated docuseriesfrom Oscar-nominated director Liz Garbus will drop on the streaming platform in December.
Meghan, 41, and Harry, 38, first signed amulti-year dealwith Netflix in September 2020. At the time,The New York Timesreported that the California-based couple’s production hub, later named Archewell Productions, would exclusively create documentaries, docuseries, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming for the popular platform.
Meghan briefly spoke about what audiences can expect to see in the docuseries in an October interview withVariety.
“It’s nice to be able to trust someone with our story — a seasoned director whose work I’ve long admired — even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it,” Meghan said of working with Garbus. “But that’s not why we’re telling it. We’re trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens.”
“It’s interesting. My husband has never worked in this industry before,” she continued, referencing the entertainment business. “For me, having worked onSuits, it’s so amazing to be around so much creative energy and to see how people work together and share their own points of view. That’s been really fun.”
