Experts Claim Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Hollywood Dreams Are ‘Dead in the Water’ Amid Netflix Backlash
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been called out for being “totally dead in the water” as their Hollywood ambitions appear to crumble. TalkTV host Kevin O’Sullivan weighed in on the Sussexes’ ongoing struggles during an episode of What Just Happened. The discussion focused on their much-criticized Netflix content, particularly the recently released Polo documentary.
Mr. O’Sullivan began by stating, “Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s career as TV producers has fallen like a horse at the first hurdle and now, their $100million [contract with Netflix] is all but over.” His comments reflected widespread doubts about the pair’s ability to thrive in the competitive entertainment industry.
The host continued his assessment, describing the situation as bleak for the couple’s partnership with Netflix. He remarked, “After the disastrous release of their big new Netflix series Polo, the chances of the streaming giant renewing their gruesome twosome’s lucrative contract are virtually zero.”
The much-anticipated Polo documentary failed to impress critics and audiences, fueling questions about the Sussexes’ ability to deliver compelling, high-quality content. According to Mr. O’Sullivan, their struggles signify deeper issues in their Hollywood venture, told Daily Express.
Doubling down, he offered a stark conclusion: “Their naive dream of turning into titans of the TV industry is dead in the water.” The host’s words suggest that the Sussexes’ aspirations to become major players in entertainment are now fading rapidly.
For the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, their initial multimillion-dollar partnership with Netflix was seen as a fresh chapter—one that allowed them to tell their stories and carve out a successful post-royal life. However, repeated stumbles and underwhelming responses to their content seem to have dashed those hopes.
Summing up the situation, Mr. O’Sullivan pointed out that there appears to be little chance of a turnaround for the couple, as he noted, “There seems to be no chance at a happy Hollywood ending for them, either.”
With their Netflix deal hanging in the balance and mounting pressure to produce successful projects, Harry and Meghan face uncertain prospects in an industry that demands results. Whether they can recover and rebuild their careers remains to be seen, but for now, their Hollywood dreams appear to be slipping further out of reach.
