It was reported Ferguson had spoken with multiple production companies in the United States in May 2023 about a possible series involving the corgis. According to the Daily Mail, a synopsis for the proposed show stated: "With the help of a team of scientists and investors, Fergie sets up a company called The Queen's Corgis, which aims to clone the Queen's corgis and sell them to other dog lovers around the world."
It continued: "But as she dives deeper into the world of genetics and cloning, Fergie realizes that her business venture is not without controversy… ."
The synopsis added: "As the series unfolds, viewers will be taken on a journey through the fascinating world of genetics and cloning, as well as the inner workings of the royal family. They will witness the highs and lows of Fergie's business venture, and see how her determination and resilience are put to the test."
Queen Elizabeth's Beloved Corgis Remain in Spotlight
Muick and Sandy, the Queen's final two corgis, have been in the care of Ferguson and Andrew Windsor since 2022.
Queen Elizabeth was known for her long-standing affection for corgis, having owned more than 30 during her lifetime. Muick and Sandy were the two dogs that outlived her and were present at her funeral in September 2022.
The corgis have remained a subject of public attention following reports that Sarah and Andrew moved out of their home, Royal Lodge, in February. Ferguson last publicly addressed the dogs in September 2025, sharing an Instagram post in tribute to Queen Elizabeth. She wrote: "Her Majesty will be forever loved, always missed, and never forgotten."
Sarah added: "Not a day goes by when I don't think of the kindness I was unstintingly shown in good times and bad."
In a 2023 interview, Ferguson said of the dogs: "They are national icons, so every time they run chasing a squirrel, I panic."

Ferguson previously described the dogs as'national icons,' noting she panics whenever they chase squirrels.
A source told us: "Sarah was furious about this rumour she was actually considering taking part in the corgi cloning show.
"She is desperately trying to keep her head down amid her and Andrew's Epstein scandal, and she thought it was time to speak out to deny it as she is trying to stay in with the royal family as much as she can under the circumstances.
"She does not have much contact with them now, but the last thing she wants to do is infuriate them by appearing to have agreed to appear on a barmy reality show, and she was raging over the claim."
