Netflix nixed Meghan Markle’s woke show about a 12-year-old feminist finding her way through life as the streaming giant’s stock plummets.
Netflix began layoffs last week as its stock shares cratered more than 20% last Tuesday after the company reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter.
According to Deadline, Netflix quietly cut Meghan Markle’s animated series ‘Pearl’ – as the streamer makes cuts.
Deadline reported:
EXCLUSIVE: Even Netflix’s in-house members of the Royal Family are not immune to a wave of cutbacks going on as the streamer recalibrates after a precipitous stock drop incurred after a drop in subscribers. Netflix has quietly dropped Pearl, the working title of an animated series that was created by Meghan Markle through Archewell Productions, the shingle the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry set up at Netflix in fall of 2020 to create scripted series, docuseries, documentaries, features and children’s programming. Pearl was to be Archewell’s first animated series.
Pearl, which Markle exec produced with David Furnish, was announced with fanfare last summer, described as a family series that centers on the adventures of a 12-year-old girl who finds inspiration in a variety of influential women throughout history. At the time Markle said, “Like many girls her age, our heroine Pearl is on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life’s daily challenges.
It is worth noting that the project was still in the development stage, and insiders at the streamer said there remains bullishness on the Archewell deal with a number of projects percolating, including the upcoming documentary series Heart of Invictus. And Markle has spent enough time in Hollywood as an actress to have heard the word “no” in the past.

Zero doubt Harry’s chubby maker will still take home millions even though non of her “talent” ever makes it to a big or little screen. Disgusting.
I wonder if the cartoon character fellates her way up the social hierarchy…
LOL!
Why would Netflix think anything from these second rate royalty used to be’s rank any thing close to originality.
Their story has been told before and with an better script(it included real Nazis)
the Farkles are a money pit...
You're setting the bar far too high. The spawn of one of OJ's "Dream Team" lawyers made roughly $15 mil a year for 15 years from E! network.
I will be a shyster fraud in my next life and live it up
Being an honest redneck doesn’t pay much dividends.
Don’t thonk they did not want the show, Netflix supposedly dumped the entire animation group so they were not focusing on her project alone. Some putz woke with more money could pick it up and sell if to PBS, Nick, or Saturday morning cartoon three-letter.
Is she a 12 year old yacht girl that goes to epstein’s island to meet much older men?
Oh, crap those were my favorite shows! Not!
When I’m finished watching Better Call Saul old episodes, NetFlix is dead to me.
My daughters are on board for this also - they are getting their content by other means. ;)
So...no talent bimbo marries prince and is possessed by delusions of adequacy. This is news?
Why would they want that nobody anyway?
Talk about your poor choices...

Must see TV, for sure.
Another form of money laundering for Leftists, like the book deals.
With such brilliant programming ideas such as this gem here, why I just can’t believe Netflix is shedding subscribers.
I don’t think Netflix really gauged teen viewers...both in the US or in Europe.
This particular series? Total loser and seemingly more of a propaganda-piece than entertainment.
What the teens wanted was more science fiction, more zombie pieces, and less documentary.
Netflix has an animated show called Big Mouth. Total, utter trash. And I say this as someone who enjoys shows like Family Guy and American Dad.
