Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have unleashed the trailer for their latest venture, and it’s nothing short of dramatic. Their new Netflix series Polo isn’t just about galloping horses and fancy mallets—it’s basically Succession on steroids, but with way more grass stains and horses that are definitely better groomed than you.
What’s the Deal With This Show?
The series dives deep into the glamorous, cutthroat world of polo. Yes, polo. The game you associate with royal vibes, big hats, and a level of wealth that can only be described as “obnoxious.” Over five juicy episodes, you’ll see elite players clash in the high-stakes U.S. Open Polo Championship in Florida—because, of course, the drama is set in Florida.
But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just about pretty ponies trotting around. We’re talking fierce rivalries, sweaty training montages, and family drama so intense, it makes Thanksgiving at your in-laws look tame. There’s a stressed-out prodigy with a dad who’s this close to screaming “You’re a disgrace to this family!” and even a former golfer who gave up putting for polo-ing because… well, why not?
Meet the Mane Cast (See What We Did There?)
1. Adolfo Cambiaso (Team Valiente):
This guy is basically the LeBron James of polo. He’s got a resume so long you’d need a polo pony to carry it. The kicker? In this championship, he’s going head-to-head with his own son. Thanksgiving at the Cambiaso house just got wild.
2. Poroto Cambiaso (Team La Dolfina):
Speaking of daddy issues, meet Poroto. At 17, he’s already one of the best players in the world. Imagine being a teenager and not only surviving high school but also dominating a sport your dad invented (kind of).
3. Louis Devaleix (Team La Fe):
Started playing polo at 38 because apparently, midlife crises now come with horses. He’s married to a polo champ, expecting a baby, and somehow still winning trophies. Overachiever much?
4. Timmy Dutta (Team Dutta Corp):
Timmy’s life is basically one long episode of Dance Moms, except the dance mom is his dad, “Big Tim Dutta,” who believes in tough love. Timmy’s social life? Nonexistent. The barn is his bestie.
5. Keko Magrini (Team Coca-Cola):
This kid hit the polo scene at 16, and he’s been smashing goals (literally) ever since. With a dad and brother also in the game, Keko is the kind of overachiever that makes everyone else in your family group chat look bad.
6. Nacho Figueras:
The model-slash-polo-player-slash-philanthropist (because of course he is) is here to serve as the series’ dashing expert. Basically, he’s the David Attenborough of polo, but with better cheekbones.
Why You’ll Watch It (Even If You Don’t Know Polo from Marco Polo)
– Family feuds on horseback. Enough said.
– Glimpses into lifestyles so lavish you’ll wonder if your entire existence is a budgeting mistake.
– Absurdly good-looking people doing absurdly dramatic things—what more could you want?
Netflix drops this high-stakes horsing around on December 10, and trust us, you’ll want to saddle up. Watch the trailer below—if only to decide which polo player is your new crush. (Hint: It’s Nacho. It’s always Nacho.)
