On Tuesday, April 6, The Invictus Games–the Paralympics-style competition for wounded service personnel and veterans founded by Harry back in 2014–announced that the couple’s Archewell Productions is creating a docuseries about the event for Netflix. Tentatively titled Heart of Invictus, the project will follow athletes as they prepare for the Invictus Games in The Hague, the Netherlands, which is set to take place in 2022.
Not only is Prince Harry executive producing the project, but he will also appear on camera in the docuseries.
“Since the very first Invictus Games back in 2014, we knew that each competitor would contribute in their own exceptional way to a mosaic of resilience, determination, and resolve,” Prince Harry said in a statement. “This series will give communities around the world a window into the moving and uplifting stories of these competitors on their path to the Netherlands next year.”
He went on to say, “As Archewell Productions’ first series with Netflix, in partnership with the Invictus Games Foundation, I couldn’t be more excited for the journey ahead or prouder of the Invictus community for continuously inspiring global healing, human potential and continued service.”
Meghan and Prince Harry signed a multi-year deal with Netflix last year, with their production company set to make documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming exclusively for the streaming platform.
In a joint statement, Meghan and Harry gushed about their excitement for the new creative business venture.
“Our lives, both independent of each other, and as a couple have allowed us to understand the power of the human spirit: of courage, resilience, and the need for connection,” the couple shared. “Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope.”
