LOS ANGELES: Streaming platform Netflix says it has decided to stop work on Meghan Markle’s family series Pearl as it reviewed animated content.

Dropping several projects, including Markle’s, was part of strategic decisions on production of animated series, the company said.

Archewell Productions, the company formed by Markle and her husband, Britain’s Prince Harry, said last year that she would be an executive producer of Pearl, a series centred on the adventures of a 12-year-old girl who is inspired by influential women from history.

The decision comes after Netflix reported a loss of 200 000 subscribers in the first quarter, falling well short of its forecast of adding 2.5 million.

Netflix said it would continue to work on projects with Archewell, including the previously announced documentary series Heart of Invictus. This will focus on athletes competing in the Invictus Games for injured veterans in The Hague this year.
