Meghan Markle's animated series will not see the light of day.

Netflix, which was to broadcast the program titled

Pearl

, has indeed decided to abandon its development, according to Deadline.

It was one of the projects announced as part of the overall deal the Sussexes struck through their company Archewell and the streaming service, and the first program to be created by the former

Suits

actress .

The announcement of this cancellation is not really surprising insofar as Netflix has to deal with the drop in its stock market after the recent announcement of a drastic drop in subscribers in recent months.

Other productions have also been scrapped to cut costs, and obviously being part of the royal family is no way to escape this wave of budget cuts.

All is not lost

Two other anime series were cancelled,

Dino Daycare

and

Boons and Curses

.

Pearl

was to follow the adventures of a 12-year-old girl who moves through her teenage life inspired by the great women of history.

Netflix clarified that the service will continue to collaborate with Archewell Productions, in particular on a documentary called

Heart of Invictus

, which will follow the competition of veterans, created and sponsored by Prince Harry.

Competition from all other streaming services like Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, etc., also makes it difficult to keep subscribers.

After a period of dramatic expansion, Netflix is ​​getting back to reality as the pandemic wanes and viewers are less often at home.
