<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-the-status-of-meghan-and-harry-s-meet-me-at-the-lake-movie-adaptation-is-unclear”>The status of Meghan and Harry’s ‘Meet Me at the Lake’ movie adaptation is unclear </h2>

<p id=”par-9_55″><em>The Wedding Date </em>is the second feature film adaptation in the works from Archewell Productions. In 2023, Netflix announced with was working with the Sussexes on a movie version of Carley Fortune’s <em>Meet Me at the Lake. </em>But there have been no further announcements about that film, leading some to suspect the project has stalled. </p>

<p id=”par-10_85″>“By this point, you would have thought they would have got a director on board and a cast. So what is the delay?” a Hollywood source told <a href=”https://pagesix.com/2025/07/24/royal-family/meghan-markles-meet-me-at-the-lake-may-never-happen-source/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Page Six</a> earlier this year. “And when you make something for Netflix, it takes a long time for it to actually hit the streamer — there is so much to do in post production, to make sure it’s ready for every country. If the deal is up this year, then when is this film going to be made?”</p>

<p id=”par-11_35″>Archewell Productions’ other projects for Netflix include <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/meghan-markles-netflix-show-canceled-expert-reveals-can-save.html/”><em>With Love, Meghan</em></a><em>, Polo, Heart of Invictus, </em>and <em>Harry & Meghan. </em>Earlier in 2025, Meghan and Harry extended their high-profile partnership with the streamer in a multi-year, first-look deal.</p>
