Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have announced a new project with Netflix - an untitled polo drama series that will be executive produced through their Archewell Productions banner. The series will be written by Fransica X. Hu and will be set in Wellington, Florida, a small Palm Beach County village known as the 'winter equestrian capital of the world' that draws elite polo players and wealthy family dynasties each year. The show will focus on the 'messy dynamics' between two rival polo teams and the families that lead them.
Why it matters
This new scripted drama series represents the latest collaboration between the Sussexes and Netflix, following their 2022 docuseries 'Harry & Meghan' which became the platform's most-watched documentary debut. The project also builds on the Sussexes' personal connection to the sport of polo, with Prince Harry having played the sport since childhood as part of a Windsor family tradition.
The details
The untitled polo drama series will be developed by Archewell Productions in partnership with Fake Empire, the production company led by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who were behind hit shows like 'The O.C.', 'Gossip Girl', and the 'Dynasty' reboot. The series is described as an 'upstairs-downstairs drama' that will capture the full social ecosystem surrounding the elite polo scene in Wellington, Florida. This builds on Archewell's previous 2024 Netflix docuseries 'Polo', which followed teams competing at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington.
