Meghan Markle’s Netflix show With Love, Meghan is returning for season 2 on Aug. 26, and a new trailer shares a first look at the new episodes
Guests for season 2 include Chrissy Teigen, Tan France, Jay Shetty and more

Meghan Markle has unveiled the first look at season 2 of her Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, premiered the new season’s trailer on Tuesday, revealing a dynamic lineup of guests and announcing the premiere date: Tuesday, Aug. 26.
While season one featured Meghan welcoming friends such as Mindy Kaling and Daniel Martin, alongside culinary legends like Roy Choi and Alice Waters, season two promises an equally impressive lineup. It includes more celebrity pals like Chrissy Teigen and Tan France; renowned chefs José Andrés, David Chang, Samin Nosrat, Christina Tosi and Clare Smyth; as well as cultural influencers like Jay Shetty and Radhi Devlukia. Season two will also feature Meghan’s close friend and Pilates Platinum founder Heather Dorak, along with the return of Martin, her longtime friend and makeup artist.
“I’ve been fortunate to have the people that I want on the show,” Meghan said as she teased season 2 at the TIME100 Summit in April. “I’ve been really lucky. We have a great, great lineup.”
The trailer, set to “Rockin’ Robin” by Bobby Day, shows Meghan cooking, crafting and laughing with her guests — and at one point, Teigen says, “I could do this every day.”
Toward the end of the trailer, she makes a confession about Prince Harry’s diet.
“You know who doesn’t like lobster? My husband,” she says. In response, Chef Andrés says, “And you married him anyway?”
With Love, Meghan is filmed in Montecito, California, where Meghan and Prince Harry live with their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. In an interview with PEOPLE for a March cover story, Meghan said, “The series is about doing what you can do, and doing it with love.”
Michael Steed returned as director for season 2 of With Love, Meghan, and Meghan continued to serve as executive producer.

While the show wasn’t filmed at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s actual Montecito home, Meghan revealed to PEOPLE that her kids have played a special part in the production.
“Archie did the [filming clapboard]! Sweet moments,” she shared. “They would also come with my husband and visit me on set. I loved that my children were able to watch me working and see the balance of that, and understand what Mama does and is working to create and share. It was really special because up until then, they hadn’t seen me at work.”
The new season comes on the heels of the news that Meghan and Harry’s partnership with Netflix has extended into a multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects.
“We’re proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand,” Meghan, 44, said in a statement on August 11. “My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision.”
