It’s only been a few months since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle struck a multi-year deal with Netflix, and they’re back at it again! The royal couple will be joining forces with Spotify and developing podcast programming for this global streaming platform.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed this deal through their newly launched production company Archewell Audio. Their podcasts will make their way to Spotify next year, but they’ll give us a taste of things to come in the upcoming holiday special.

This project will feature “stories of hope and compassion from inspirational guests in celebration of the new year” and it’s expected to premiere later this month. The couple believes that now is more important than ever to take a moment and hear each other’s stories to be “reminded of how interconnected we all are.”

Spotify’s chief content and advertising business officer, Dawn Ostroff, said the service is proud to partner up with the Duke and Duchess on a series of podcasts that “spotlight diverse perspectives and voices” and “build community through shared experience, narratives, and values.”
