Meghan Markle is the executive producer on a new Netflix animated series that will celebrate 'extraordinary women'

• Meghan Markle is working on a new Netflix animated series titled "Pearl."
• The Duchess of Sussex said the series will celebrate "extraordinary women" throughout history.
• Her husband, Prince Harry, is currently working on a docuseries about the Invictus Games.

The Sussexes are embarking on their second project with Netflix post-royal life.

Meghan Markle announced that she will be working with the streaming service on a new animated series on the website of Archewell Productions, the production company founded by the royal couple.

Titled "Pearl," the program will follow the adventures of a 12-year-old girl who is inspired by major female historical figures.

Markle will be the show's executive producer. She will be working alongside Canadian filmmaker David Furnish. Furnish is known for his work on titles like "Rocketman," a movie about his husband Elton John's life.

"Like many girls her age, our heroine Pearl is on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life's daily challenges," Markle wrote on Archewell's website on Wednesday.

"I'm thrilled that Archewell Productions, partnered with the powerhouse platform of Netflix, and these incredible producers, will together bring you this new animated series, which celebrates extraordinary women throughout history," Markle said.

"David Furnish and I have been eager to bring this special series to light, and I am delighted we are able to announce it today," she added.

Markle's project follows the release of the children's book "The Bench" in June. The book is based on a poem that was originally written for Prince Harry.

The release date for "Pearl" has not yet been announced.

"Pearl" is the second project that the couple is working on with Netflix. They signed a multi-year deal with the platform last year to create documentaries, docu-series, and children's programs.

Harry will be featured in an upcoming docuseries with Netflix, titled "Heart of Invictus." It spotlights competitors in the Invictus Games, a tournament for injured army personnel and military veterans Harry launched in 2014.
