Meghan Markle's decision to leave Netflix and its associated lifestyle series, "With Love, Meghan"
Netflix's Deal with Meghan Markle's Archewell Production to Expire in September 2025
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's landmark deal with Netflix is set to expire in September 2025, according to recent reports. Over the past five years, they have released five projects under this deal, including the docuseries Harry & Meghan and Meghan’s lifestyle show With Love, Meghan.
The second season of With Love, Meghan is set to premiere later this fall and features guest appearances by Mindy Kaling, Chrissy Teigen, José Andrés, and Alice Waters. The show, which offers a personal and intimate look at Meghan’s love for cooking, gardening, and hosting, has already gained traction with its relatable format. Some of Meghan's personal hacks from the show have even gone viral on TikTok.
The end of the deal between Netflix and Meghan Markle does not necessarily mean the end of her partnership with Netflix. There is speculation about potential "first look" deals that might allow Harry and Meghan to pitch projects to Netflix, but this would not guarantee any new productions and would give Netflix the option to pass on their content.
The decision to end the Netflix deal with Meghan Markle was mutual, citing a shift in Netflix's content strategy. Netflix is moving away from exclusive talent deals towards more flexible, project-by-project or first-look agreements. This leaves the future of Meghan and Harry's content production with Netflix uncertain and potentially limited after the expiration of the current contract.
Despite the online trolling and hatred, With Love, Meghan has not been associated with any reported inside drama. The Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry had previously signed a $100 million deal with Netflix for a five-year plan, and it remains unclear if the non-renewal will affect upcoming seasons or their other projects currently in development, such as a Great Expectations prequel and a film adaptation of Meet Me at the Lake.
With Love, Meghan is a part of the lifestyle section of Netflix, and the show format aims to make Meghan Markle relatable to the audience. The Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle brand appears to be gaining traction. The specific reasons for Netflix ending the deal with Meghan Markle are not mentioned in the article.
- The lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, which showcases Meghan's passion for cooking, gardening, and hosting, continues to be well-received in society, with some of her personal tips from the show even going viral on food-and-drink platforms like TikTok.
- Meghan Markle's influence on home-and-garden improvements is evident in With Love, Meghan, as the show features her personal taste and ideas for stylish and sustainable living.
- As the end of Meghan and Prince Harry's deal with Netflix approaches in September 2025, the entertainment industry remains curious about the future of their partnership and the content they may develop under any potential future arrangements, especially since their projects, such as With Love, Meghan, have become notable features of Netflix's lifestyle section.
