Prince Harry and Meghan’s Netflix Series ‘Polo’ Aims to ‘Break Down’ the Stereotype the Sport is ‘For Exclusively the Rich and Famous’

K.J. Yossman SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers from “Polo” now streaming on Netflix. Prince Harry and Meghan’s latest effort for Netflix is “Polo,” a five-part docuseries following the sport’s U.S.

Open, which took place in Wellington, FL earlier this year, and is co-produced by their prod-co Archewell. While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex hardly feature in the series – bar an episode that focuses on a charity polo game for Harry’s non-profit Sentebale – there is plenty of drama thanks to a showdown between polo icon Adolfo Cambiaso and his son Poroto, team owner Bob Jornayvaz suffering a life-changing accident mid-play and a babyshower that goes very wrong.

For showrunner Miloš Balać (“Welcome to Wrexham”) – as well as executive producers Harry and Meghan — the aim was to overlay the human storylines while introducing a new audience to one of the world’s oldest and most dangerous sports (Harry’s father, King Charles, once almost died in the middle of a polo match after falling from his horse and swallowing his tongue).

Ahead of the show dropping on Netflix, Balać sat with Variety to talk about Prince Harry’s input in the series, why he decided to cut away from the moment of Jornayvaz’s accident and whether audiences can look forward to a Season 2.
