The Duchess of Sussex has suffered a humiliating blow after her Netflix lifestyle series failed to crack the streamer’s top 1,000 most-watched programmes as viewers switched off in their droves. The second series of With Love, Meghan pulled in just two million views between July and December, leaving it languishing at 1,016th in Netflix’s rankings and marking a collapse of more than 60 % on its debut run.
As The Telegraph reported, even the first series underperformed with only 5.3 million views, despite heavy promotion and high-profile celebrity guests. The figures put the show on a par with the fourth series of Downton Abbey, first released 12 years ago, and behind reruns of Suits, the legal drama that originally made her name. Critics and audiences were aligned, with the series scoring just 17 % on Rotten Tomatoes and 3.2 out of 10 on IMDb. The failure adds to mounting questions over Netflix’s investment in the Sussexes, with spin-offs and specials also struggling to gain traction.
