Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have a sweet new documentary to their name. Founded in 2020 to bring “thought-provoking and diverse narratives” to global audiences, the royal couple’s production company Archewell Productions has just signed on to executive produce a story about one of America’s most festive traditions: Girl Scout cookies.
Announced ahead of its 2026 Sundance premiere, Cookie Queens was directed by Alysa Nahmias as a behind-the-scenes look at the season-long activity, in which young girls go door-to-door, set up tables outside of grocery stores, and find unique ways to sell as many boxes of Thin Mints and Samoas as possible. Centered around four young girls and their families, the documentary hit close to home for Meghan, who embraced the challenge herself many years ago.
“As a former Girl Scout myself, with my mom as my troop leader, I have a personal affinity for this film and am proud that all our conversations and collaboration have led to Archewell Productions partnering with this award-winning team to executive produce this incredibly captivating documentary,” the Duchess shared in a statement. “When we first viewed the early footage of this documentary, it was immediately something we wanted to be involved in.”
“The creative point of view, the edgy yet humanizing tone and tenor of the directing, and the glimpse behind-the-scenes into such a nostalgic and also modern tradition of Girl Scout Cookie season are absolutely irresistible,” she continued.
Cookie Queens will premiere in the new year during Sundance’s family matinee section. In addition to Archewell Productions, Beautiful Stories and AJNA Films will executive produce the project, which was produced by Nahmias, Michael Dweck, Gregory Kershaw), and Jennifer Sims.
