For one to abandon something, they would have to have had something to abandon.
If you remember, insiders claimed that Meghan is hoping to make an acting comeback in a British movie or television series.
It begs the question: She used to live in Hollywood, so why couldn’t she make her grand acting comeback there?
A new report by Page Six might explain why.
Key Takeaways
- Harry and Meghan face fresh questions about their Hollywood future
- Reports suggest Meghan is considering an acting comeback in Britain
- Netflix’s reported restructuring has affected key Archewell contacts
- Chanel Pysnik has reportedly departed Archewell Productions
- Several senior executives have previously left the Sussexes’ production company
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Productions Loses Key Staff
Previously, reports surfaced that Ted Sarandos has grown weary of Meghan Markle and her desperate attempts to stay within his inner circle, amid a wave of cutbacks from the streaming giant.
Amongst the people affected by these cutbacks are two people who were integral to Archewell Productions programs landing at Netflix: Bela Bajaria and Dan Lin.
As Netflix’s reported restructuring raises questions about Archewell Productions, the Sussexes may face even more challenges.
They say that when it rains, it pours, and it’s been pouring for the Sussexes for a while now.
The head of nonfiction at Archewell Productions, Chanel Pysnik, has reportedly left the team following the lukewarm reception of the couple’s latest project, Cookie Queens.
Pysnik happens to be one of the first hires for the team and is best known for overseeing the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan.
She also joined the Sussexes for a screening of Cookie Queens at the Sundance Festival.
Recently, she attended the Daytime Emmys, where the Netflix show With Love, Meghan was nominated in the Outstanding Lifestyle Program category.
Sadly, it lost to a dog show titled A Different Breed.
With her reported departure, senior vice president of scripted television Nishika Kumble stands as the last key executive in the couple’s small production company.
Former head of content Ben Browning, marketing chief Fara Taylor, president Mandana Dayani, audio boss Rebecca Sananes, and production manager Bennett Levine have all previously exited the company.
Meanwhile, reports of Netflix freezing several Sussex projects have already raised concerns about the couple’s entertainment future.
Harry and Meghan will no doubt be on the lookout for new talent to hire, in hopes of keeping the company afloat amidst these very trying times.
And with questions previously raised about Meghan returning for a Suits reunion, her reported acting comeback remains another interesting possibility.
