Since their exit from the British Royal Family in early 2020, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have become the subject of countless sensationalist headlines, Lifetime movies, and one very controversial biography. The common thread among all of those? The main subjects were not the ones telling the story. That is about to change with the upcoming release of the couple’s Netflix docuseries Harry & Megan and Harry’s memoir.

Back in late 2020, the couple signed a multi-year deal with Netflix to develop “scripted series, docuseries, documentaries, features and children’s programming”. Though Meghan’s animated series, tentatively named Pearl, was canceled in May, she later confirmed that a docuseries about her and Harry’s relationship, directed by Oscar nominee Liz Garbus, was in the making.

Here is all we know about Harry & Meghan, the upcoming Netflix exclusive docuseries.

Trailers and posters

A brief teaser was revealed by Netflix on Dec. 1, 2022, along with the official poster and the actual title Harry & Meghan. It shows a series of personal pictures of Harry and Meghan, most in black and white, with brief appearances of the couple in individual interviews and some voice-over lines.

“No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors,” says Harry. “I had to do everything I could to protect my family”. Meghan adds: “When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”

Though Meghan and Harry have entrusted director Liz Garbus with their story, they are not the ones putting the series together. The story is going to be told through Garbus’ lens. It is the second time the pair have offered their view on all that has happened, with the first being an exclusive interview to Oprah Winfrey in 2021.

On Dec. 5, 2022, a full trailer was unveiled, including several visual and spoken references to the late Diana, Prince Harry’s mother, with him even mentioning how afraid he was of history repeating itself.

Release date, number of episodes, and episode length

With the official trailer, Netflix also revealed the release schedule for Harry & Meghan. The six episodes will be split in part one and part two, which come out sooner than expected: on Dec. 8, 2022 and Dec. 15, 2022, respectively.

Harry’s memoir, Spare, also releases in January 2023, shortly after the series.

Crew and other details

Liz Garbus, nominated for Oscars as a director of documentaries like 1998’s The Farm: Angola, USA and 2015’s What Happened, Miss Simone? — the latter also a Netflix original — directed the docuseries.

Harry and Meghan’s own Archewell Productions is responsible for the project, with Erica Sashin, Mark Monroe, Dan Cogan, Ben Browning, Chanel Pysnik, Jon Bardin, Mala Chapple, and Angus Wall serving as executive producers.
