Netflix will not move forward with a third season of “With Love, Meghan,” marking the end of the Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle series after two seasons and a holiday special. This decision has raised eyebrows and fueled conversations surrounding the show’s future, especially given its connection to Meghan Markle‘s creative partnership with the streaming giant.
Cancellation Confirmation
Reports indicate that Netflix has officially decided against renewing “With Love, Meghan,” which first premiered in 2025. According to Page Six, while neither Netflix nor Markle have publicly confirmed the cancellation, industry insiders report that discussions regarding the series’ continuation have stalled, and there are currently no plans for new episodes in development.
Markle’s show featured a blend of lifestyle content, including cooking and entertainment tips, intertwined with personal narratives from her Montecito home. It was launched alongside her lifestyle brand, As Ever, as part of her strategy to enhance brand visibility through a global streaming platform.
Ratings Struggles and Shifting Priorities
Despite initial excitement, “With Love, Meghan” seemed to struggle with viewership metrics. Engagement data from Netflix indicated that the second season failed to make a mark, missing a spot in the U.S. Top 10 rankings and, instead, reporting considerably lower viewing hours when compared to other leading lifestyle and reality shows. The holiday special that aired later also received modest reception by Netflix’s standards.
People reported that the decision not to proceed with a third season reflects both performance issues and Markle’s evolving priorities. The time demands of producing the series alongside launching and managing As Ever prompted her to reassess whether the lifestyle format was sustainable long-term.
A Changing Netflix Relationship
The reported cancellation of “With Love, Meghan” occurs within the context of a shifting relationship between Netflix and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed a high-profile production deal with the streamer in 2020, it birthed projects like the documentary series “Harry & Meghan.” However, Page Six states that this arrangement has since transitioned into a first-look agreement, suggesting a more selective path for future collaborations.
Critics delivered mixed reviews throughout the series’ run, with some appreciating its warm and connective tone, while others expressed concerns about its identity amid a saturated lifestyle television market. The series faced ongoing scrutiny regarding its originality in comparison to established names within the genre.
The Future of Meghan’s Creative Projects
The Daily Mail has reported that Markle intends to pivot towards developing more short-form lifestyle content, rather than dedicating herself to a full-scale television series. This strategic shift is seen as a way for her to maintain a public creative persona without the rigors associated with a weekly streaming show.
