Meghan Markle's Netflix show struggles to find its footing in its second season.
The Duchess of Sussex's latest lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, has failed to gain traction with audiences on the platform. According to figures released by Netflix, the eight-episode show ranked 1,124th most-watched programme between July and December 2025, attracting a modest 2 million views. In contrast, it fell short of landing in the top 1000, which also includes more established shows like Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug & Cat Noir and Downton Abbey.
Critics were not kind to the show, with The Guardian's review dubbing it "painfully contrived" and The Times describing it as "baffling". Despite a "seasonal product drop" of Meghan's As Ever brand, including the addition of marmalade, the show did little to generate buzz.
The series was filmed in a rented house in Montecito, California, where Meghan cooked, chatted, and crafted with friends like Queer Eye star Tan France and US model Chrissy Teigen. The show's behind-the-scenes revelations included Prince Harry's dislike of lobster, his fondness for Magic FM radio, and the desire of their children, Archie and Lilibet, to have a cat.
As part of a reported $100m (£74m) five-year deal with Netflix, the couple produced several programmes, including the hit documentary series Harry & Meghan. However, other shows like Heart of Invictus and Polo struggled to find an audience. The couple's production deal has since been scaled back, with a "multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects".
Meghan's show in its second season also failed to impress, with only 5.3 million viewers tuning in initially. Its festive special, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, fared no better, ranking at 1,022 on the list of most-watched shows with 2.4 million views.
Sources close to the production claim that With Love, Meghan will not be returning for a third series, with Meghan reportedly deeming it "a lot of work". Insiders suggest that while there may be plans for holiday specials, nothing is currently in the works. Instead, fans can expect to see similar content from Meghan on her social media channels, albeit in a more bite-sized format.

. like, it's not even close to being good but it's just so entertaining. i mean, have you guys ever watched those dog training videos where they're trying to teach the dogs to do cool tricks? it's always hilarious because they never seem to get it right 
.
. I mean, 2 million views is pretty low for a Netflix series, especially one with such big names attached. And yeah, the reviews were pretty harsh too. I guess it's all about finding that magic formula and with this show just didn't quite land for me 
. Maybe they'll try again in the future but for now, I'm not gonna hold my breath 
. And tbh, I don’t know why Netflix is putting so much money into these shows if they're not gonna perform 
. Just sayin’ 
... maybe Netflix just wasn't the best fit? And ugh, 1,124th most-watched show is kinda low 
... I feel bad for her, 'cause it sounds like she was really counting on that series to take off 
. Maybe next time? 
. I mean, 2 million views? That's not even a blip on Netflix's radar, let alone for the Duchess of Sussex 
. And don't even get me started on the "behind-the-scenes" nonsense - who cares that Prince Harry doesn't like lobster or that Archie and Lilibet want a cat? It's just so... scripted 
. I was expecting something more from Meghan, especially after her documentary series with Harry did pretty well 
.
. And 2 million views is a bit low for an 8-episode series. I guess we'll see what else Meghan has cooking on her socials now 
...
its like they were really counting on it to be a hit and now its getting ignored 
. Maybe they just need to find their footing in terms of what kind of show they want to make.
. Maybe we'll see some more of that in the future? 
. The show's "painfully contrived" vibe didn't exactly do it for me either 
. And 2 million views? That's like, my entire Instagram following combined 
. Guess you can't buy viewership with marmalade 
. Maybe they should've just stuck to making docu-series about their adorable kids? 
That's some next-level PR right there 
.
, and it's kinda sad that her other shows didn't do as well... maybe she'll find her footing with her social media stuff? 
at least it's gonna be more concise 
. It's like, what went wrong? Did the format not work out? Was it just a bad timing thing? The fact that critics were harsh on it kinda makes me feel meh about it 
...and maybe her social media channels will be more successful 
. And I've seen some of the reviews from critics and they're pretty harsh 
. Maybe they just need to rethink their strategy or something? Or maybe it's just not meant to be
