Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are just getting started at Netflix. While there may not be a second season of Harry & Meghan confirmed just yet, the Sussexes are quickly returning to the global streaming platform for a new docuseries, Live to Lead, inspired by Nelson Mandela.

Here's everything we know so far about Live to Lead from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle:

It's inspired by the legacy of Nelson Mandela.

"Extraordinary leaders reflect on their legacies and share messages of courage, compassion, humility, hope and generosity" in Live to Lead, according to Netflix. The show "highlights the fundamental values, daily disciplines and guiding principles that leaders employ to motivate others and create meaningful change."

The series is created by the Nelson Mandela Foundation project, and directed by Geoff Blackwell. Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, executive produced the show and feature in the trailer (watch above).

Blackwell shared, "This series was conceived while Ruth Hobday and I were working on a book about Nelson Mandela and his prison letters back in 2018. As we worked to absorb 27 years of Mandela’s personal correspondence, reflecting on his brave and selfless commitment to the welfare of others, we were simultaneously confronted by a news cycle relentlessly focused on certain international politicians behaving in precisely the opposite way—shamelessly pursuing their own self-interest, using tactics of division and misinformation to serve power and not the people."

He continued, "This contrast cemented our resolve to honor Mandela’s values by surfacing the stories of leaders who distinguish themselves through their moral courage, the conviction of their ideals and values, and their prioritization of others."

"With the world in the state that it is in, trying to heal from a global pandemic, with the rise of populism and misinformation, the need for effective leadership is critical," Sello Hatang, Chief Executive of the Nelson Mandela Foundation said in a statement. "Live to Lead was made to contribute towards inspiring better leaders, ones that are committed to ending poverty and inequity and who show the lead in making the just society of Nelson Mandela’s dreams."

The seven episodes feature interviews with leaders.

Per Netflix, "featured interviews include: former U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg; climate change activist Greta Thunberg; social justice attorney and advocate Bryan Stevenson; New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern; South Africa’s national rugby union team captain and social inequality campaigner Siya Kolisi; feminist icon and social justice activist Gloria Steinem; and anti-apartheid activist and former Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa Albie Sachs."

All of them feature in Blackwell's I Know This to Be True book series.

Live to Lead premieres on December 31, 2022.

All seven episodes will drop on Netflix.
