Archewell Productions faces staff departures and project delays
Archewell Productions, the media company founded by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, is reportedly facing significant operational challenges. Multiple high-level executives have recently departed the firm, including Chanel Pysnik, who led the nonfiction department and oversaw the Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan”. Other former employees include Ben Browning, Mandana Dayani, Fara Taylor, Rebecca Sananes, and Bennett Levine.
In addition to personnel losses, several film and television projects are experiencing delays. Netflix projects “Meet Me at the Lake” and “The Wedding Date” have reportedly remained in the development phase without significant progress since early 2024. Furthermore, Netflix has reportedly removed Meghan Markle’s cooking show, “With Love, Meghan”, from its programming schedule.
Despite these setbacks, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos is said to remain supportive of the couple. Industry insiders note that development delays are common in Hollywood, particularly for literary adaptations, though the continuous turnover of key staff has raised questions regarding the company's structural stability.
