10 TV Shows That Just Got Cancelled
1. Pearl
Netflix has made numerous costly deals with high-profile public figures in recent years, perhaps most famously a development deal with Barack and Michelle Obama back in 2018.
Another big get was Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who in 2020 signed a multi-year deal allegedly worth $100 million to produce content for the streaming platform.
The couple's first planned project under Netflix was announced last summer as Pearl, an animated series centered around a 12-year-old girl who finds empowerment and inspiration from various prominent female historical figures.
After almost a year of development, however, Netflix recently quietly cancelled the project, mere days after the company's stock dropped significantly due to losing subscribers for the first time in a decade.
Though this cancellation does nothing to affect the duo's overall Netflix deal, and they've currently got various other projects on the docket with the streamer, it was still surprising to see a project backed by such a high-profile power couple abruptly snuffed out.
