As subscribers continue to flee in droves, the left-wing Netflix is taking an axe to its original programming development in an effort to rein in spending. The newest casualty: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, whose planned animated series has reportedly been cancelled.
Netflix has dropped Pearl, the working title of the animated series that was created by Meghan Markle through Archewell Productions, the company the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry set up at Netflix last year, according to a report from Deadline.
Pearl, about a 12-year-old girl who meets influential women throughout history, was reportedly still in the development stage. Insiders at the streamer told Deadline that other projects in Archewell’s deal with Netflix could still see the light of day, including the upcoming documentary series Heart of Invictus.
As Breitbart News reported, Netflix recently canceled two other animated shows in development — Dino Daycare from executive producer Chris Nee, and the adventure series Boons and Curses. The cancellations come after Netflix shocked Wall Street, reporting a loss of 200,000 subscribers during the first quarter and an expected loss of a whopping 2 million more subscribers in the months ahead. The news has sent Netflix shares into a nosedive, dropping more than 40 percent.
At a recent internal meeting, co-CEO Reed Hastings outlined new austerity measures designed to rein in the company’s famously spendthrift ways, with a focus on “quality” over quantity. In some cases, budgets on new shows will be cut by as much as 25 percent.

That’s a nicer way of saying what 1940’s editor H.L. Menchken said back then.
don’t forget the normal American young boys and girls cheated out of their futures by masses of invading foreign illegals.
Excellent! Don’t give those douches another penny.
I dropped to their SD quality after the last price increase. Since my TV is an older 720p, I have noticed little difference, except the extra $5 per month.
Since I finished my binge of Ozark last evening, I am still thinking about dropping Netflix.
At they rate they are cancelling original series, they have less and less to offer. They do seem to be going with a lot of dubbed foreign TV series and movies any more.
I’m glad this self-absorbed child of privilege is not getting the media fame she desired. Looks like she’ll have to give up her dream to be president. As for the male of the couple, he has no mind of his own and has been whipped into submission by her.
Apparently Netflix paid a princely sum and got proposal waste paper in return.
Shareholder money is easily squandered.
Old Harry is seeming more pathetic by the day, her arse is getting big, the poor kids look like Carrot Top (who is very funny) .....next stop rehab for old beady eyed Baldy, and she goes on the book tour. Poor Kids.
Ah when truth was truer than real. She was great in Limo does Hollywood. LOL
Former royal welfare recipients may now to have to get jobs after the movie deal crashes. She looks to have a couple years left so she could waitress if she could drop the ego a bit, but he could probably only get on selling drugs with his entitlement attitdude.
Yup; and the other 50 percent are black.
All black men are married to white women, and all black women are high powered executives!
William and Kate must be snickering.
Neither of those too deadbeats are relevant outsie of the Hollywood crowd and they’re loosing with most of them now as well.
Harry really isn’t that bright now he’s getting interviews etc. He’s also a weeping baby about pretty much anything that hits his emotions.
Looks like Harry and the wife will have to go back on the royal dole in the UK.
Maybe they can become Youtube influencers?.....

The “bizarro world” of the commercials is less about social engineering and more about targeting the last people watching commercials; showing stupid dumpy white guys is a gamble they feel is worthwhile because he isn’t watching anyway - and if he is, they’ll never convince him to buy their crap with his hard-earned wages.
Charles 'shuts Beatrice and Eugenie out of royal roles' even after brokering Harry's visit
The bit to note...
PRINCE CHARLES has reportedly shut down calls for Princess Beatrice and Eugenie to receieve more prominent royal roles in the future after the two princesses were understood to have "brokered" Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's meetings with the Queen as well as the Prince of Wales.
I think Oprah, Tyler and the rest of Hollyweird have figured out that there is a negative return on any investment in the Douche and Douchess of Loserville.
