Meghan Markle was all set to come up with an animated series called Pearl that reflected on the life of a 12-year-old.

What Was the Reason Behind Netflix Canceling Meghan Markle’s First Animated Series as a Producer, &#8216;Pearl&#8217;?

After parting ways with the royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are
trying to set foot in the entertainment industry. The royal couple is inclined
towards the profession of a producer to earn a living. It was in September 2020
that Harry and Meghan stunned the world by signing a multimillion-dollar deal
with Netflix to produce content like docuseries, documentaries, fiction shows,
and kids’ series. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in the news for quite some
time due to their infamous docuseries.

The show that is supposed to be released later this year is likely to shed light
on their life as senior working royals. The upcoming show has been making a lot
of noise as it can shade the important member of the royal family, including the
monarch King Charles III

Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton. However, it might
surprise you that the docuseries was not the first thing that Meghan Markle
planned for the American streaming giant. The former actress was all set to
produce an animated series called Pearl under her production house, Archewell
Productions.

NETFLIX SHELVED THE ANIMATED SERIES BY MEGHAN MARKLE EARLIER THIS YEAR

In May 2022, it was announced that Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/browse] has
decided to drop Meghan Markle’s Pearl. The show was co-produced by David Furnish
and they made its official announcement in fanfare last year. However, the
American streaming platform shelved the animated series as a part of
cost-cutting. Netflix’s quarterly report suggested a significant drop in
subscribers.

Panicked with the whole situation, the streamer decided to cut down on the
expenses by saying no to some shows. Apart from Pearl, Dino Daycare and Boons
and Curses are the other two animated series that were dropped.

navigates through her life by taking inspiration from some of the most
influential women in the history of mankind. Meghan Markle described the project
as a series that “celebrates extraordinary women throughout history.”
