‘With Love, Meghan’ misses top 300 as streaming and branding struggles continue
Meghan Markle’s latest foray into lifestyle television is falling flat, as her Netflix series With Love, Meghan failed to crack the streamer’s top 300 most-watched shows for the first half of 2025.
Despite an attention-grabbing launch and early promise, the series attracted only 5.3 million views, landing at a disappointing No. 383 in Netflix’s rankings—on par with years-old re-runs like Peaky Blinders season two (2014) and Suits season four (2011), the show that originally made Meghan a household name.
The underwhelming performance has added pressure to the couple’s high-profile deal with Netflix, signed in 2020 and estimated to be worth tens of millions. While the show briefly entered Netflix’s global Top 10 within 24 hours of release, that momentum quickly fizzled amid a wave of lukewarm critical reviews and dwindling audience interest.
Still, Netflix appears committed—for now. A second season of With Love, Meghan has already been filmed and is scheduled to air this autumn, signaling the platform’s continued investment in the Duchess’s brand of polished domestic charm.
Beyond streaming, Meghan’s wider lifestyle ambitions have also hit early turbulence. Her luxury brand—initially launched as American Riviera Orchard—has quietly rebranded as As Ever following trademark challenges and a slow rollout.
As both her on-screen and off-screen ventures face growing scrutiny, Meghan’s next chapter in the lifestyle space may depend on whether season two can reverse the narrative—or confirm a fading media spotlight.
