After the Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle programme received a flood of negative reviews, the future of the show is in jeopardy with one source claiming it has been axed
The future of Meghan Markle’s Netflix programme With Love, Meghan, is in jeopardy, as a source has claimed the show won’t be renewed for a third season. The Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle series first aired in March 2025, with a second season following in August.
Months later, Meghan aired a special holiday episode of the show, with all three instalments of the Netflix series receiving a flood of negative reviews and criticism online. The show was, however, popular with Meghan’s diehard fans, but routinely failed to bring in strong viewing numbers. Now, a source has claimed the show will not be renewed for a third season.

A source told Page Six: “It’s not returning as a series. There have been conversations about holiday specials, but there’s nothing in the works yet.” The source alleged that while there may be no more of Meghan’s show, she will continue to focus on her As Ever brand in a different way. They told the publication: “People will see similar cooking and crafting on Meghan’s socials for the brand, but more bite-sized.”
The programme has seen Meghan share cooking, crafting, and hosting tips with a range of celebrity pals and experts. Netflix is yet to officially comment on the future of Meghan Markle’s show, while Meghan has also not made any comment on the show since the holiday episode aired in December.
However, it is believed that while she enjoyed creating the show, she made comments about it being very time-consuming, with the duchess once talking about the need for a lot of “work” to go into it.
The second season of Meghan’s show, which aired in August 2025, received scathing reviews from industry critics, with The Telegraph giving the lifestyle a two-star rating, panning the season as “marginally less mad but more needy” than its first instalment. The review went on to call Meghan a “Montecito Marie Antoinette”, and called the series as a whole “boring and at times, pretty insufferable”.
The sentiment was echoed by The Guardian, who dismissed the show as a “gormless lifestyle filler”. The publication also gave the second series a mere two stars, as the review went on to say how Meghan’s show is “so painfully contrived that it’s genuinely fascinating,” before questioning whether “Meghan’s impulse to sprinkle flowers over everything is a choice or a compulsion”.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been working with Netflix since they stood down as working royals in 2020, delivering a bombshell docuseries with the streaming giant that recapped their decision to flee the Firm and relocate to America.
Despite the lucrative deal signed in 2020, the Sussexes signed a new contract with Netflix in 2025, which gave the company a ‘first look’ option on any of the couple’s ideas, with the Sussexes then able to take these elsewhere if the streaming giant passed on them.
This was, by many critics and commentators, seen as something of a “downgrade” after some of the lacklustre offerings from Harry and Meghan had struggled to appeal to a wide audience or receive rave reviews across the board.
However, during a sit-down with Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in October 2025, Meghan explained the details of the couple’s ongoing working relationship with Netflix, providing a more positive outlook than some had assumed.
“My husband and I were in an overall deal with Netflix, and then not just similar to Higher Ground in the Obamas’ deal, once that had come to its term, the extension of it, which was such an incredible sign of the strength of our partnership, was now being in a first-look deal,” Meghan explained.
“Which is also exciting, because it gives us flexibility to go to our partners first, and then at the same time, to be able to shop content that might not be the right fit for Netflix, but has a home somewhere else.” The Duchess also said she was “grateful” for the “creative partnership” she has with Netflix, who work with her in conjunction on her As Ever lifestyle brand.
