Have you ever wondered anything about professional polo? Namely, how does it work, who plays this, and so on? Good news: Netflix has a docuseries about professional polo in the works.
Deadline reported the news on Thursday. The professional polo docuseries is one of two new unscripted series coming from Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. The first will focus on Meghan and “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship.”
Here’s more about the professional polo series, which has some significant names attached on the production side.
The second series follows the world of professional polo. Shot primarily at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Center, the series will explore the world of the sport, which is known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene. It will pull the curtain back on the grit and passion of the sport, capturing players and all it takes to compete at the highest level. Prince Harry has been known as a keen polo player and is often photographed playing internationally.
The series will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures, the production company behind series such as Netflix’s Chef’s Table, Pepsi, Where’s My Jet? and Sex, Love & Goop.
Miloš Balać, who has worked on FX’s hit docuseries Welcome to Wrexham, will serve as showrunner.
Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will exec produce alongside Pysnik for Archewell Productions, with Andrew Fried, Sarina Roma, and Dane Lillegard exec producing for Boardwalk Pictures and Balać and Ian Samplin also exec producing.
No release date or title has been announced for either of the projects, which are still “in early stages of production.”
Personally, I don’t have any time for any of the royals or their numerous projects, and while I probably wouldn’t watch a series about professional polo, at least it’s an original idea for a sports-related series.
