Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are developing a film adaptation for Netflix based on the Afghan war memoir “No Way Out: The Searing True Story of Men Under Siege,” written by British Major Adam Jowett. Multiple outlets report that Netflix has confirmed the project and that it is tied to Jowett’s account of his command of “Easy Company,” described as a unit made up of paratroopers (Paras) and Royal Irish Rangers. The memoir focuses on the group’s role holding a district centre in Helmand province during July 2006, amid the war in Afghanistan. Deadline adds that the adaptation is being developed with Matt Charman, credited as a screenwriter for the project, and notes Archewell is involved in producing the movie. Al-Monitor further reports that Netflix told AFP the film will be produced by the couple and that Tracy Ryerson, Archewell Productions’ scripted content head, is involved in the scripted content development. Coverage describes the project as a feature film and emphasizes the memoir’s military narrative and leadership perspective.
