Netflix continues to amass an impressive selection of titles for its various producing partners; The streaming service already had “Former President and Former First Lady” and “Current Shonda Rhimes” on the books, and now has another opportunity to raise the public level of the Duchess Mildly Stranged content it has access to. That’s according to The Hollywood Reporter, who reports today that Mildly Estranged Duchess Meghan Markle has created a new animated series, Pearl, on the streaming service.

The series will focus on a 12-year-old girl who is inspired by a variety of famous women from history – supposedly the good guys, and not just, like Lucrezia Borgia, Lizzie Borden, or any of Dracula’s brides. (We may not be entirely clear about the distinction between fantasy and reality, admittedly.) In addition to Markle, the series is being produced by a group of people with extensive backgrounds in animation, even if some of that background is in the Gnomeo and Juliet/Sherlock Gnomes School of Cinematic animation modern. (Looking at you, David Furnish and Carolyn Sober.) Amanda Renda, an animator veterinarian whose latest DC Super Hero Girls project and stint as creative director of The Loud House will serve as executive producer on the show.

This is the second project produced under Markle’s Archewell Productions banner, which she shares with her husband, Mildly Estranged Prince Harry Of California (formerly England). The two are also producing Heart Of Invictus, a documentary series about Invictus Games, and are also part of the pair’s production deal with Netflix. Meanwhile, our constant effort to get a rumor out that this whole “video pivot” thing with the couple, and their associated feud with the royal family, was just an attempt to build hype around the virtual suit revival it absolutely continues to produce. bupkis, but it is so.
