Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Productions has optioned Carley Fortune’s romance novel Meet Me at the Lake with plans to adapt it as a movie or TV show. The story follows 32-year-old Fern Brookbanks as she gets a second chance at love with Will Baxter after they met nearly a decade earlier. The book immediately topped the New York Times bestseller list for print paperback fiction. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will produce an adaptation of Meet Me at the Lake for Netflix as part of the $100 million deal they signed with the streamer in September 2020. This is the latest project for Archewell Productions, which has already delivered three docuseries for Netflix.
