Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are back in action. Netflix unveiled the first glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's latest Netflix docuseries, 'Polo,' on Thursday.
The upcoming series, set to release on December 10, is a collaborative effort between Archewell Productions, the couple's production company, and Boardwalk Pictures. Both Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, serve as executive producers on the project.
"This series offers viewers an unparalleled, behind-the-scenes look into the passion and determination that drives some of the world's top polo players, unveiling the grit behind the glamour," Prince Harry shared. "We're honored to showcase the true depth and spirit of the sport — and the intensity of its high-stakes moments."
The series trailer highlights the adrenaline rush of playing polo, describing it as "Imagine riding a horse at 35 miles an hour while someone is charging at you full speed." A voiceover adds, "The adrenaline coursing through your body — it's addictive."
"Polo is not just a sport," another voice asserts as scenes of the athletes training and working out are shown. "Polo is a lifestyle. We eat, we breathe, we sleep polo."
The trailer also delves into the personal lives of the featured athletes, with polo being described as "a sexy sport — dirty, sweaty boys riding." The clip concludes with flashy cars, a polo cup, and the athletes preparing for the field, accompanied by the words "For legacy. For courage. For glory."
Netflix describes the show as offering "an unprecedented look into the dedication and skill required to compete at the sport's highest level." The series follows various players, from a young athlete pushed to his limits by his demanding father to a former golfer who has made significant sacrifices for the love of the sport.
Featured polo players include Nacho Figueras, a longtime friend of Harry, who serves as a polo expert and consulting producer on the show. Adolfo Cambiaso, widely regarded as one of the greatest polo players of all time, and his son Poroto Cambiaso are also featured, along with Louis Devaleix and Pamela Flanagan Devaleix, who are expecting their first child together during the series.
Timmy Dutta of Team Dutta Corp. and Keko Magrini of Team Coca-Cola represent the new generation of the sport, bringing sharper skills and more fearless risk-taking to each match.
