Meghan Markle’s television series has not managed to secure a spot among Netflix’s top 1,000 most-watched shows, according to the platform’s official viewership data.
The second season of “With Love Meghan,” which debuted last August amidst significant promotion, was ranked at 1,217 on the list of most-watched programs for the latter half of 2025.
This eight-episode series boasted appearances from celebrities such as Chrissy Teigen and Tan France.
Throughout the show, Meghan offered personal insights into her family life, including her children Archie and Lilibet’s favorite foods and colors, and a charming anecdote about Prince Harry expressing his love first during a safari trip to Botswana.
Nonetheless, Netflix viewers gravitated towards more than 1,000 other programs.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s ‘Holiday Celebration’ special, which featured her alongside famous friends and her husband in a rented house for Christmas festivities, including gift-wrapping tips, fared slightly better, ranking at 1,015.
And her flurry of new shows last year did not spark a boom of those consuming the first season of the show, which was at 3,196 in the latest Netflix ‘What We Watched’ report, released by the streamer yesterday.
Netflix’s top shows between July and December 2025 were Wednesday, Stranger Things, Untamed and Squid Game, which were streamed between 56million and 123million times in six months.
With Love Meghan’s various iterations had between 600,000 and 2.3million views.
It came as multiple sources claimed that Meghan’s heavily promoted show will not be returning for a third series on Netflix – after the Duchess called it ‘a lot of work’.
With Love Meghan’s second season, which was released last August with heavy promotion, was just 1,217 in the most-watched shows in the last six months of 2025. It was filmed last year in a rented home in Montecito, close to the Sussex’s own mansion

Another source told the Daily Mail that all eyes were on the viewing figures for her Christmas special, as it would also influence how much interest they would have in supporting her As Ever product range at their pop-up and bricks-and-mortar stores.
However, Meghan is said to be still hopeful she could make July 4 and Valentine’s Day specials of her show.
The Sussexes have a ‘first look’ deal with Netflix, which gives the streamer the first chance to accept or reject the idea. If the streamer declines, the couple are free to find another potential buyer elsewhere in the media.
News that there would be no season three of With Love, Meghan emerged in the US earlier this week.
‘It’s not returning as a series. There have been conversations about holiday specials, but there’s nothing in the works yet,’ one insider told Page Six.
Her large Instagram following is the likely audience for her lifestyle content and hosting tips.
‘People will see similar cooking and crafting on Meghan’s socials for the brand, but more bite-sized,’ another source said.
The Daily Mail revealed earlier this month that she could release a cookbook.
Her Netflix Christmas special also bombed with the critics.
It was given multiple zero and one star reviews for its ‘numbing content’.
The Duchess of Sussex used her Christmas episode of With Love, Meghan to share tips with celebrity friends on how to make crackers, as well as wrapping different types of gifts and decorating a tree.
But reviewers in the Daily Mail, Times, Guardian, Telegraph and Independent were left stunned by the 56-minute show – and not in a good way.
Giving ‘With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration’ zero stars out of five, the Daily Mail’s reviewer Annabel Fenwick Elliott said: ‘It’s the syrupy hypocrisy and our hostess’s deep lack of self-awareness that continue to make her and this show so unlikeable’.

Times columnist Hilary Rose wrote that guests ‘queue up to say implausible things, running the gamut from moronic to trite and then emote joy’.
In the Telegraph’s one-star review from arts and entertainment editor Anita Singh, the episode was labelled ‘quite mad and a little bit sad’.
On the review-aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, it received an overall 23 per cent approval rating.
The show has seen Meghan joined by top chefs including José Andrés, Roy Choi and Alice Waters, as well as some of her closest friends such as Chrissy Teigen, Mindy Kaling – and her mother, Doria Ragland.
The Duchess opened up about her love story with Prince Harry during series two, which was released last August, and also talked about her family with the celebrity guests on the show.
She revealed that it was Harry who said the ‘L word’ first and added that she really understood that she was falling in love with Harry, who she calls ‘H’, on their third date, which was a safari trip to Botswana.
Although Prince Harry and their children Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, came along to watch filming on a number of days.
Harry did appear fleetingly in the final episode of series one. The children did not feature at all.
Meghan previously said in an interview with People in March that she opted not to film in their Montecito home to ‘protect [her family’s] safe haven’.
