In addition to the training that goes into the games, Heart of Invictus will go behind the scenes of the event itself. "The series will also follow the organizers as they work to prepare for the Games, postponed until next Spring, and as they partner with each nation's team to support their competitors over the coming year," according to Netflix's press release.
The next Invictus Games—covered in the docuseries—are being held in The Hague, Netherlands, in Spring 2022 after postponements due to the pandemic. Prince Harry and Archewell Productions are also joined on the project by the Oscar-winning team of director Orlando von Einsiedel and producer Joanna Natasegara.
Heart of Invictus is the first series Harry and Meghan are producing since agreeing to a multiyear, multimillion-dollar production deal with Netflix in late 2020. It's expected that they'll produce a range of content for the streamer in coming years.
