Chanel Pysnik Leaves Archewell Productions

Chanel Pysnik is departing Archewell Productions, where she led nonfiction film and television projects after joining in May 2021. The company has not announced who will take over her role.

At Archewell, Pysnik served as a producer on Harry & Meghan, With Love, Meghan and the documentary Cookie Queens, which premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. Other projects she worked on for the company were Polo, Live to Lead, Heart of Invictus and the short film Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within. With Love, Meghan received a Daytime Emmy nomination this year.

Prince Harry and Meghan said Pysnik was among their earliest hires and helped shape the company’s approach to unscripted productions. They praised her contribution and said they supported her as she moved on to a new chapter.

Pysnik said she was proud of the work made during her time at Archewell, including projects that reached audiences internationally and screened at film festivals. She did not disclose her future plans.

Before joining Archewell, Pysnik held nonfiction roles at Disney+ and CNN. Archewell continues to operate and has a first-look agreement with Netflix. Harry and Meghan returned to the UK with their children in August.
