Due to the drop in streaming subscribers in recent months, “Pearl” will no longer enter the catalog
“Pearl”, animated series that would mark the return of Meghan Markle to the industry as well as its first fictional production, was canceled by Netflix after the drop in subscribers in recent months. According to information from deadlinethis was just one of the projects not to be included in the catalog of streaming.
After what happened, reported in April of this year and considered the first negative number since 2011, the CEO of Netflix, Reed Hastings, revealed that the digital platform plans to roll out cheaper monthly plans with the announcement. The novelty would be a way to reduce the drop in the number of subscribers with the option of lower cost for users. In addition, its animation sector would also be a target for changes, as it seems to have been the most affected by the order of “manage in spending” with original content.
The outlet further stated that “Pearl” was in its early stages of development, and despite being cancelled, Markle continues to work on other projects for the company.
The series was originally announced in 2021, when it was described as “the story of a 12-year-old girl who faces the challenges of her everyday life drawing inspiration from several important women in history”. Meghan Markle would executive produce “Pearl”, along with David Furnish (“Rocketman”).
Archewell Studios, a company created by Markle and prince Harry to house its productions in the area of entertainment, it signed a contract with Netflix in 2020. The documentary series “Heart of Invictus”, which will show the history of the Invictus games (a kind of Olympics for military veterans), will be the first title of the partnership .
