AceShowbiz - Prince Harry's passion for polo takes center stage on his upcoming Netflix docuseries "POLO", set to premiere in December. The series, produced by Archewell Productions and Boardwalk Pictures, promises an unprecedented glimpse into the fast-paced world of the equestrian sport.
Professional polo player Nacho Figueras, a close friend of Harry's, described the project as "the behind-the-scenes, kind of like what 'Drive to Survive' did for Formula 1." He expressed excitement about the opportunity to introduce polo to a wider audience and praised Harry for his unwavering dedication to the sport.
In a statement, Netflix described "POLO" as "a new documentary series that follows elite global players and offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced world of the sport." The series is part of a $100 million deal struck between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Netflix in 2020.
Harry has been an avid polo player for decades, often participating in charity matches. The series will provide viewers with access to the grit and passion involved in competing at the highest level, showcasing the players' skill and determination.
"POLO" marks the latest collaboration between Harry and Meghan Markle with Netflix. The couple has previously produced docuseries such as "Harry & Meghan" and "Heart of Invictus", as well as the series "Live to Lead" about changemakers.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex established Archewell Productions in 2020 to create documentaries, feature films, and children's programming that inspire and inform audiences. "POLO" is a testament to their shared passion for sports and their commitment to using their platform to showcase the transformative power of human connections.
