Netflix Drops Meghan Markle Show After 2 Seasons

At a Glance

  • Netflix has no current plans for a third season of With Love, Meghan
  • The Duchess’s lifestyle brand, As ever, continues to expand under Netflix partnership
  • Archewell Productions shifted last year to a first-look deal, mirroring Netflix’s new model

Why it matters: Fans hoping for more full seasons will have to settle for possible one-off specials as the streamer tightens its production strategy.

Netflix is stepping back from With Love, Meghan after two seasons and a holiday special, according to a source close to the project. While the door remains open for future specials, the streaming giant has “currently no plans for a third season,” the source tells News Of Los Angeles.

The December 3 holiday installment, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, featured the Duchess sharing hosting tips and family traditions with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. The one-hour episode capped the series’ run that began with eight-episode seasons in 2025.

Meghan signaled a format rethink during her October appearance at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit. When asked about season three, she pointed to the upcoming special and noted, “Eight episodes for two seasons – it’s a lot of work.” She added that viewers increasingly want “content in different sizes,” hinting at shorter-form recipes and tips rather than longer seasons.

Despite the show’s uncertain future, Netflix continues to partner with Meghan on her lifestyle brand, As ever. Launched in March 2025 alongside season one, the line debuted with jams, teas, crêpe mix, and flower sprinkles. It has since added wines, candles, and a limited-edition leather bookmark. Products ship only within the U.S. for now, though international expansion is planned.

The production shift mirrors a broader Netflix strategy. In August 2025, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex converted their original $100 million multi-project agreement into a multi-year, first-look deal through Archewell Productions. The same model now applies to Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground banner.

Since partnering with Netflix in 2020, the couple has released several documentaries. Their 2022 six-part docuseries Harry & Meghan remains Netflix’s most-watched documentary debut, logging 81.55 million viewing hours and reaching 28 million households in its first month.

Viewership data for With Love, Meghan:

Season Global Views Hours Watched Netflix Rank
Season 1 (March 2025) 2.6 million 12.6 million #10
Season 1 (Jan-June 2025) 5.3 million Not specified #383
Season 2 & Holiday Not released Not released Not ranked

Netflix has not disclosed performance metrics for season two or the holiday special.

Key Takeaways

  • No third season is planned, but occasional specials are still possible
  • Meghan’s As ever brand keeps Netflix as a retail and promotional partner
  • Archewell’s new first-look deal aligns with Netflix’s cost-control pivot
  • Future content will likely appear in shorter formats across multiple platforms
