Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is adding «cooking show host» to her list of accomplishments.

Of course, those who have binged Suits know this won’t be the 42-year-old mother's first time on the small screen, but it is one of the first times you'll get to see her in a nonfiction series on Netflix. Deadline originally reported that Archwell Productions, the production company founded by Markle and Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has moved into the early stages of creating two new series.

One is Markle's cooking show, following her as she “celebrate[s] the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship.” Leah Hariton of Selena + Chef will be the show runner, Micha Steed of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown will be the director, while Meghan and Chanel Pysnik fill the roles of executive producers.

The other is quite unrelated: It explores the world of professional polo, shot primarily at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida.

Neither show has a title or release date just yet because they’re in the early stages of production. This is part of Markle and Prince Harry’s $100 million deal with Netflix, according to People.

«Our lives, both independent of each other, and as a couple, have allowed us to understand the power of the human spirit: of courage, resilience, and the need for connection,» the Duke and Duchess shared in a statement they released at the time of signing their deal in 2020, Food & Wine reported. «Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope.»
