After leaving the Royal Family in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex inked a five-year contract with Netflix valued at an estimated £80 million ($9.96 million).

Fans were anxious about the renewal of the deal as the couple had not divulged many details about their future TV plans.

However, recent reports indicate that they will be producing two nonfiction series focusing on lifestyle and polo themes. Harry's friend Nacho Figueras has disclosed the duration of the Duke of Sussex's involvement in his upcoming polo exhibition.

At the annual Sentebale polo match on Thursday, April 11, attended by the Prince and his wife, Meghan, the 47-year-old professional player shared details about his ambitious idea, which will focus on the competitive sport.

"We've been working on this for a long time," he stated. "It was always Harry's dream and passion to share with the world, what it takes to be a really competitive polo player and show polo at the highest level."

He continued, "I cannot think of many people that can be better than him to be the kickoff of this storytelling."

Netflix announced that Harry's polo series would provide "unprecedented access to the realm of professional polo," including coverage of the Florida US Open Polo Championship, per The Mirror.

Filming for the upcoming series—which does not yet have a title—took place on the hot polo day when Harry beat his pal in the match.

The 39-year-old polo enthusiast seemed to be enjoying himself at the match as he shook hands, gave players a thumbs-up, answered calls, and even took a moment to stroke a puppy, per The Mirror.

Harry's series will explore the realm of polo, capturing the essence of the beloved sport. The aim of the new Netflix series is to provide viewers with a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the dedication and determination required for professional athletes to excel.
