The announcement comes at a time when Netflix is grappling with a drop in subscribers.
Netflix has cancelled the development of Pearl, an animated series created by Meghan Markle, in a series of cost-saving moves.
The streamer dropped several projects, including Markle’s, which is part of strategic decisions on the production of animated series, the company said in a statement.
Archewell Productions, the company formed by Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, said last year that she would be an executive producer of Pearl. The series was to focus on the adventures of a 12-year-old girl who is inspired by influential women from history.
Other animations also dropped include Dino Daycare and Boons and Curses.
Netflix will, however, continue to work 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 in 2022.
