British royal family news reveals that Nishika Kumble has been hired by Harry and Meghan, aka the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as a senior vice president of scripted television for their Archewell Productions, a Netflix production company. Hopefully having a pro on the team will help the amateurs to actually produce something soon to justify their enormous contracts.
Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell has been flaunted as life game changer but to date any impactful impact has yet to be noticed. As head of scripted television Kumble will, “work closely with Netflix to create and develop new scripted fare from diverse voices that informs, elevates and inspires,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.
What are Kumble’s credits? She served as vice president of development and production at Rashida Jones and Will McCormack’s Le Train Train Productions. While she was employed, “she oversaw the company’s TV slate, working on shows including AMC’s Kevin Can F*** Himself and Quibi’s Centerpiece.”
“Before that, she was director of development at Noah Hawley’s FX-based production company 26 Keys where she worked on Fargo and Legion. Additionally, she has worked at Entertainment One in the indie studio’s scripted TV department.”
Archewell Productions was founded by Markle and Prince Harry in 2020. They have done nothing with it despite boasting that it would make, “stories about humanity and community building through universal values and powerful narratives.”
There are things they are “working on,” however. For Netflix pact Archewell has been working on Heart of Invictus, a docuseries. It will be produced with the Invictus Games Foundation and feature competitors from the Invictus Games in The Hague in 2022.
Meghan recently announced her intention to make Pearl, “a family-focused animated series created by Markle that revolves around the adventures of a 12-year-old girl who is inspired by influential women in history.”
Meanwhile, the adult in the room, Kumble, “will report to former FilmNation production president Ben Browning, who joined Archewell in March as head of content. Kumble joins a rapidly growing staff at Archewell that also includes Chanel Pysnik as head of unscripted and Rebecca Sananes as head of audio.”
Actually the Markle’s have done something to date, they have hired a contingent of people who have nothing to show for themselves. Just like their employers.
