Meghan Markle’s ‘With Love, Meghan’ Canceled After Two Seasons on Netflix
Meghan Markle’s lifestyle series, “With Love, Meghan,” will not return for a third season on Netflix. Sources indicate that the Duchess of Sussex, aged 44, has decided to focus on developing her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which offers cooking and crafting content on social media.
Cancellation of “With Love, Meghan”
The show, which premiered in March, was intended to rival prominent lifestyle icons such as Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow. Despite its promotion, “With Love, Meghan” struggled to make a significant impact on Netflix’s viewership. After its second season debuted in August, it did not appear in the streaming service’s Top 10 shows in the U.S. for that week, as reported by Forbes.
- Season 2 ratings will be disclosed in February.
- The show garnered 5.3 million global views in the first half of 2025.
Future of the Franchise
While the main series is concluded, discussions continue regarding potential holiday specials. Markle has proposed ideas for specials centered around events like the Fourth of July and Valentine’s Day. Sources suggest that these could still materialize, indicating partnerships remain strong.
Content and Reception
The show featured appearances by notable chefs and celebrities, including Chrissy Teigen and José Andrés. However, it faced criticism for its amateur presentation. Critics mocked Markle’s tips, such as preparing simple dishes and decorative ideas that lacked culinary sophistication.
Markle’s Response to Criticism
Markle has publicly defended her show, stating that those who criticize it often have ulterior motives. This sentiment was shared during her appearance on “The Circuit with Emily Chang.” Despite the challenges, she appears committed to utilizing her platform effectively.
Partnership with Netflix
Meghan Markle maintains a partnership with Netflix for her As Ever lifestyle brand, which includes honey, tea, and wine products. She and her husband, Prince Harry, aged 41, also have a “first look” deal with Netflix, which was established after their previous multi-million dollar contract ended last year.
In summary, although “With Love, Meghan” has finished its run, Markle’s focus on her lifestyle brand and potential holiday specials suggests she aims to continue engaging her audience through diverse content.
