UNCAPTIONED: Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex developing war film for Netflix.
May 15, 2026
Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex are developing a film adaptation of the Afghanistan war memoir No Way Out. The royal couple, who have a first-look deal with the streaming service, are developing a feature film adaptation of No Way Out: The Searing True Story of Men Under Siege, the 2019 memoir by Major Adam Jowett. The book tells the true story of Jowett's Easy Company, a unit of Paras and Royal Irish Rangers tasked with holding a district in the Helmand province at any cost during the war in Afghanistan in July 2006. According to Deadline, the hastily assembled Easy Company found themselves in a dilapidated compound, cut off and heavily outnumbered by the Taliban. The subject matter likely hits close to home for the Duke of Sussex, who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan during his 10 years in the British Army. The couple will produce the project with Tracy Ryerson, the scripted content head of their company Archewell Productions. The script will be written by Matt Charman, who received an Oscar nomination for writing Steven Spielberg's 2015 historical drama Bridge of Spies.
