Meghan Markle's Netflix Series Falls Flat with Viewers
The Duchess of Sussex's highly anticipated lifestyle show 'With Love, Meghan' has failed to make a lasting impact on the streaming giant Netflix. Despite a hefty $100m (£74m) deal over five years, which kicked off with her six-part documentary series after their exit from the royal family, the second season of the show ranks 1,124th most watched in the period between July and December last year, according to data.
The eight-episode series, released in August, garnered a meager 2 million views. This is a far cry from its predecessor, which attracted 5.3 million viewers. 'With Love, Meghan' was panned by critics, with many describing it as "painfully contrived" and "baffling". The show's release was followed by a "seasonal product drop" of Meghan's As Ever brand, which saw the duchess add marmalade to her range.
The series featured Meghan cooking, chatting, and crafting with friends, including Tan France from Queer Eye and Chrissy Teigen. However, it failed to generate buzz around Prince Harry's lifestyle, revealing that he dislikes lobster and prefers Magic FM radio over UK music. The show also sparked controversy when the couple revealed their children, Archie and Lilibet, "really want a cat".
The disappointing reception has led insiders to believe that 'With Love, Meghan' will not be returning for a third series. Sources claim that Meghan reportedly called it "a lot of work". While there have been conversations about holiday specials, nothing is currently in the works.
Netflix's struggles with the show highlight the challenges faced by the Sussexes in making their brand work on the streaming giant. After the release of 'With Love, Meghan', another project 'Polo' struggled to gain viewers, raising questions about whether they will be able to find a winning formula on Netflix.

. And don't even get me started on Prince Harry's ' preferences' - who knew he was into Magic FM radio? 
I guess it just didn't resonate with people like they thought it would... and now the show's not coming back for season 3? yeah, that makes sense. The Sussexes have a lot to prove if they want their brand to stick on Netflix...
. I mean, who thought it was a good idea for Prince Harry to diss lobster? And don't even get me started on Meghan's cooking show 
. I'm not surprised that there won't be a third season, tbh 
. Maybe they should just stick to what they're good at, you know? 
that meghan's show tanked like this 
. i mean, she seemed so passionate about sharing her life with us and all 
but i guess it just didn't click 
. 2 million views is like, super low for a netflix series 
especially one that was hyped up as big as 'with love, meghan' 
, the sussexes can try again with another project 
and hopefully they'll find something that works 
.
and the reviews were pretty harsh too 
and now this new one is tanking? what went wrong? did she just lose her touch or something? i mean, tan france and chrissy teigen are cool guests or whatever 
and that's after her and Harry left the royal fam? i mean, i thought she was gonna be all about promoting self love and stuff but instead she's talking about how much she hates lobster 
what's next? watching her do laundry or something
