Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced the production of their second series for Netflix — about two months after their first project.
Archewell Productions, a company jointly owned by the couple, broke the news in a statement on Wednesday.
According to the statement, Meghan will executive produce the animated series alongside David Furnish, the Canadian filmmaker.
It added that the project, which has ‘Pearl’ as the working title, follows the heroic adventures of a 12-year-old girl who is inspired by influential women from history.
“Like many girls her age, our heroine Pearl is on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life’s daily challenges,” Meghan said.
“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 April, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex unveiled ‘Heart of Invictus’, their first documentary series for Netflix.
The documentary series will chronicle events leading to the forthcoming edition of the Invictus Games scheduled for 2022 in The Hague, Netherlands.
The development had come after the couple’s last year multi-million deal with the US-owned streaming giant.
In March, the spotlight had beamed on the lovebirds following their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey wherein they bared lurid details of their struggles with the royal family.
The pair recently welcomed their second child together in the United States.
