A day after Netflix announced the release date of the new documentary produced by Prince Harry, the platform released a new trailer.
On December 10, the streaming service will premiere Polo, produced by Archewell Productions, the production company that Prince Harry shares with his wife Meghan Markle.
The five-episode docuseries offers a behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced and glamorous world of polo, following elite players as they compete in the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida.
“This series offers audiences an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into the passion and determination driving some of the world’s elite polo players, revealing the grit behind the glamor,” Prince Harry said of the series.
“We’re proud to showcase the true depth and spirit of the sport – and the intensity of its high-stakes moments.”
Details of Polo, the Prince Harry documentary on Netflix
On November 21, Netflix shared with the public a new preview of this production.
The trailer describes the practice of this sport: “Imagine going on a horse at 35 miles an hour as someone is coming at you full speed.” A voiceover adds, “It’s the adrenaline that goes through your body – it’s addicting.”
“Polo is not just a sport,” maintains a voiceover in the trailer. “Polo is a lifestyle. We eat, we breathe, we sleep polo.”
On the occasion of the series premiere, the *Express* newspaper lists some details that have gone unnoticed.
For example, despite the fact that the Duke of Sussex is one of the executive producers and plays polo, it will surprise many to learn that the prince does not appear in the trailer.
Although he could have a role later in the series, he is not seen in the teaser, despite his significant involvement in the show.
Similarly, Meghan Markle also does not appear in the trailer.
Another relevant aspect is that their role as producers suggests that both Meghan and Harry have had crucial creative input in terms of filming, content, and the final version presented to the public.
In addition, the trailer suggests that the series will feature a high degree of drama.
While a certain amount of conflict was anticipated, some clips show members of the polo sports community facing serious arguments.
Polo appears to offer not only a look at the exciting world of polo, but also a focus on the personal relationships and conflicts that accompany this lifestyle.
