Meghan Markle’s New Animated Netflix Show Sounds Cute As Hell

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have announced their second project with Netflix under their company, Archewell Productions: an animated show called Pearl that centers on a 12-year-old girl, who is inspired by influential women throughout history. The Duchess of Sussex is the creator behind the show and she’s set to executive produce alongside David Furnish (Rocketman), Carolyn Soper (Tangled), Liz Garbus (I’ll Be Gone in the Dark), and Dan Cogan (Icarus). Meanwhile, Amanda Rynda (The Loud House) is on board as both showrunner and executive producer. If you can’t wait for it to premiere, here’s everything you need to know about Markle’s Pearl, including its release date, trailer, synopsis, and more.
The series is part of the royal couple’s multi-year deal with Netflix that promises to bring scripted series, docuseries, documentaries, features, and children’s programming to viewers. The duke and duchess announced their partnership with the streaming platform in September 2020, just months after revealing they would be stepping down as senior royals that January. Meghan and Harry unveiled their first project under their Netflix deal — a docuseries called Heart of Invictus — in April 2021.
