Break out the jam and edible flowers: Netflix has extended its creative partnership with Archewell Productions, the media company launched by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

Netflix announced an extension of the first-look deal, which spans film and television projects, on Monday, disputing previous reports that the $100 million creative partnership with the couple would expire in 2025 and even announcing a new roster of projects from Archewell, including a holiday special of lifestyle series *With Love, Meghan *and a movie adaptation of Carley Fortune's best-selling novel *Meet Me at the Lake.*

"We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the *As ever* brand," Markle said in a statement. (*As ever,* the lifestyle brand Markle launched in April that includes a website and home and food products, was developed in partnership with Netflix.) "My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision."**

"Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere," Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, added. "The response to their work speaks for itself . . . we're excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together."**

Upcoming projects include a holiday special episode of *With Love, Meghan* in December; a feature adaptation of *Meet Me at the Lake*; and documentary short *Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within*, about orphaned Uganda-based YouTube dance sensations who transformed hardships into joy. David Vieira Lopez and Moses Bwayo directed the latter doc, which counts Markle and Prince Harry as executive producers.

Several reports indicated last month that the couple's contract, signed in 2020, would not be renewed in order to reflect "a shift in Netflix's broader business strategy," though there was "no animosity from either side."
