Archewell Productions, the company founded by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, is experiencing a period of significant personnel turnover and operational shifts. On November 3, 2026, Chanel Pysnik, the head of nonfiction, film, and TV, resigned after more than five years with the firm. Pysnik had served as an executive producer on various projects, including the Netflix documentary ‘Harry & Meghan’. In a joint statement, the founders praised her expertise in spearheading the strategic framework for their unscripted content. Following this departure, reports emerged on November 6, 2026, indicating broader staffing challenges within the company. Previous high-ranking departures include former content chief Ben Browning, marketing director Fara Taylor, president Mandana Dayani, audio chief Rebecca Sananes, and production manager Bennett Levine. These leadership changes have coincided with reported project ~~delays, including the removal of~~ delays. Netflix has reportedly removed the cooking show ‘With Love, Meghan’ from its programming schedule. Additionally, Netflix ~~programming.~~ projects ‘Meet Me at the Lake’ and ‘The Wedding Date’ have reportedly remained in the development phase without significant progress since early 2024. Despite these developments, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos reportedly remains supportive of the couple, and the existing contract between Archewell and the streaming service is still in effect. While industry insiders note that development delays are common in Hollywood, particularly for literary adaptations, the continuous turnover of key staff has raised questions regarding the company's structural stability.
