The first podcast series by Archewell Audio will be coming later in December with a holiday special hosted by the couple showcasing inspirational stories. Archewell Audio will be partnering with the Spotify-owned studio, Gimlet with the entire series available by next year on the streaming platform.

This is one of the royal couple’s entertainment engagements following their recent deal with Netflix for a producing partnership featuring documentaries, films, kids shows, and more. The royal couple stepped back from their royal duties in January and are focusing on other philanthropic efforts. The royal couple recently settled into living life outside the Palace in Montecito, CA while raising their son Archie similar to Harry’s late mother Princess Diana.

This deal is similar to the Obama family after former President Barack Obama completed his eight terms who formed his own family production company. Barack and Michelle Obama worked on several entertainment projects including documentaries including “American Factory” and “Crip Camp” as well as a podcast show ‘The Michelle Obama Podcast.’
