Meghan's Netflix Show Gets the Axe: What Went Wrong?

It looks like Netflix has decided to pull the plug on Meghan Markle's show, With Love, Meghan. After just two seasons, the streaming giant has opted not to renew the series. There's talk about possible holiday specials, but nothing is set in stone yet. Meghan and Prince Harry signed a massive deal with Netflix back in 2020. The five-year contract was reportedly worth over $100 million. However, the show's recent holiday special didn't quite hit the mark. Critics and viewers alike found it lacking, and it seems that was the final straw for Netflix. The couple's journey with Netflix started strong. Their documentary series, Harry & Meghan, was a hit, becoming one of the platform's top documentaries. But With Love, Meghan just didn't capture the same audience. In fact, it ranked a dismal 383rd in Netflix's recent viewership report. For comparison, reruns of Meghan's old show, Suits, ranked over 200 spots higher.Despite Netflix calling the holiday special a "big success, " there were some odd choices made. The special aired in December 2025 but included scenes featuring Meghan's late dog, Guy, who passed away in January 2023. This detail raised eyebrows and hinted at a lack of commitment from the platform. Meghan's attempts to establish herself as a lifestyle guru didn't quite take off. Her homemaking tips, like repackaging store-bought pretzels and serving raw broccoli as an appetizer, didn't resonate with viewers. It seems Meghan won't be the next Martha Stewart or Gwyneth Paltrow anytime soon. That being said, Meghan will continue to promote her lifestyle brand, As Ever, through her social media channels. The content will be more concise and bite-sized, according to sources. As for Prince Harry and Meghan, they will continue working with Netflix behind the scenes. Their latest project is producing an adaptation of the romance novel The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory.
