The announced 2025 windows for the first three have passed, and the cited sources do not establish their current streaming or production status. A separate scripted polo drama was reported in March 2026, but no premiere date was given.
Netflix projects announced in August 2025
Netflix said on 11 August 2025 that Archewell Productions’ relationship with the company had been extended through a multi-year first-look deal covering film and television. A first-look arrangement gives Netflix priority to consider projects; it does not guarantee that every project in development will be released.
The four projects in that announcement differ in format and in how much timing information Netflix provided:
| Project | Format and description | Announcement and timing |
|---|---|---|
| With Love, Meghan Season 2 | Lifestyle series featuring cooking, DIY, and everyday creativity with chefs, artists, and friends. | Netflix announced it would debut later in August 2025. The cited sources do not establish its current streaming status. |
| With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration | Special episode about a Montecito holiday gathering, with food, decorating, gifts, friends, and family. | Netflix announced a December 2025 release window. That month has passed; current status is not established by the cited sources. |
| Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within | Documentary short set in Uganda’s Masaka region, centered on children at an orphanage and their community. Netflix named David Vieira Lopez and Moses Bwayo as directors, with producers from Campfire Studios and Archewell Productions. | Netflix said it would release later in 2025. The cited sources do not verify its eventual premiere date or current streaming status. |
| Meet Me at the Lake | Romance feature adapting Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel. Netflix described it as a “decade-spanning love story that begins with a chance encounter and a broken promise.” | Netflix announced the adaptation but did not give a release date. |
What the dates do—and do not—tell you
The August and December 2025 windows, and the broader “later in 2025” timing for Masaka Kids, are past announcements rather than confirmation of present availability. The cited reporting does not establish whether those titles are now streaming, delayed, or otherwise changed. Netflix’s 11 August 2025 slate announcement is available at Netflix Tudum.

Meet Me at the Lake is an announced adaptation, not a released film
Netflix announced a feature adaptation of Carley Fortune’s novel but did not provide a release date in its 2025 announcement. The novel is the source material; it should not be confused with a finished or currently available movie. Netflix’s announcement and logline are in its Archewell Productions deal update.
A scripted polo drama was reported in March 2026
On 24 March 2026, The Independent reported that Harry and Meghan would produce an untitled scripted Netflix drama set in Wellington, Florida. The story follows two rival teams and their families. The report named Francisca X Hu as writer and executive producer alongside the couple, attributing those details to Deadline. It did not give a release date, and the cited official Netflix announcements do not independently confirm a production schedule. This is a reported development, not a title with a confirmed premiere date.

The scripted polo drama is different from Netflix’s Polo
Polo is an already released five-episode documentary series produced by Archewell and Boardwalk Pictures. It follows professional players at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington. The reported new project is scripted fiction about rival teams and their families, not another name for the documentary series. See Netflix’s coverage of the documentary series and The Independent’s 24 March 2026 report on the scripted project.

Netflix said Archewell Productions’ relationship with the company began in 2020 and listed earlier releases including Polo, With Love, Meghan, Heart of Invictus, Harry & Meghan, and Live to Lead. In its 11 August 2025 announcement, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, said: “We’re proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand. My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision.”

Netflix also reported that Harry & Meghan received 23.4 million views in its first four days after its December 2022 debut and reached the English Top 10 in 85 countries. For the first half of 2025, Netflix reported 5.3 million views for With Love, Meghan and called it its most-watched culinary show since release. These are Netflix’s company-reported figures and characterization, not independent rankings or evidence of how its upcoming projects will perform. The figures appear in Netflix’s August 2025 announcement.
