The dreams of Harry and Meghan, once thought to be promising, are now falling apart like a soggy biscuit.
Bennett Levine, the manager of Archuel Productions, has made a dramatic exit, effectively signaling the end of Harry and Meghan’s lackluster career.
And honestly, who can blame him for wanting to jump ship?
Remember when Meghan Markle graced the red carpet in Los Angeles last November, enthusiastically talking about all the exciting things they had in store?
Well, it turns out the most exciting thing was Bennett Levine bidding them adios.
Archuel Productions, the company they established in 2020 with great fanfare to produce television and films, is now in shambles.
Levine, who was promoted to manager in 2022, has recently joined CTIK Media, an American film financing and distribution company.
It seems he has had enough of the Markle-Harry roller coaster.
A reliable source reveals that his departure is a major blow to the company, and you can bet your bottom dollar on that.
Production managers handle the mundane aspects of the business, such as finances and recruitment for film and television projects.
Levine’s sudden departure comes at a time when rumors are swirling that Netflix might not renew its deal with Archuel.
Do you remember that deal?
Netflix reportedly paid £8 million in 2020, and it is set to expire in 2025.
But who’s counting the days until they can wash their hands of this troublesome duo?
Levine played a significant role in the Harry and Meghan documentary series, co-produced with Netflix and released in 2022.
Now that he has left Archuel, he finds himself with no work to do.
Who can blame him for seeking greener pastures?
The guy grew tired of twiddling his thumbs, and who wants to be paid per project with uncertainty when they could have a stable salary?
With Levine out of the picture, it appears that there will be no new deal or film happening at Archuel.
Netflix is probably ecstatic, counting down the days until they can bid farewell to this disastrous partnership.
Let’s not forget the one documentary they churned out and the utter failure that was Heart of Invictus.
Oh, and what about the canceled Pearl series that never even took off the ground?
These individuals haven’t produced anything of quality in the past five years.
Speaking of quality, can you imagine the embarrassment of listing Archuel on your resume after leaving?
Working for these self-obsessed, talentless, and lazy individuals must be an absolute nightmare.
It’s a mystery why anyone with other options would willingly choose to work for them.
As of now, there has been no confirmation from Netflix or Archuel regarding any productions for 2024.
In 2022, Harry and Meghan barely managed to meet their contractual obligations by releasing something at the end of December.
Rumor has it that they wanted to delay it due to the queen’s death and their anticipation of a poor reception, but Netflix refused.
In 2023, all they had to offer was Heart of Invictus, which lacked updated footage from 2022.
They are no longer receiving financial support from Netflix as of 2023, and it seems like Netflix is just letting the contract naturally expire.
Or perhaps they are waiting for a breach of contract.
