The announcement of a new scripted show about polo comes as part of their multi-year deal with Netflix. This follows the couple's earlier release of a docuseries on the same sport, which received lukewarm reception.

An adaptation of Jasmine Guillory’s book 'The Wedding Date' is already underway, and 'Meet Me at the Lake,' a romance novel by Carley Fortune, has a director attached.

Netflix executive Bela Bajaria stated, “Don't believe whatever you read,” emphasizing the continued strength of their collaboration.
