Fans of Meghan Markle’s Netflix series, ‘With Love, Meghan,’ are buzzing with anticipation over a potential third season and a confirmed holiday special. The Duchess of Sussex recently offered candid insights into her evolving Netflix partnership and future content strategy, hinting at exciting new directions for her brand.
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has captured the attention of audiences worldwide with her Netflix ventures, most notably her lifestyle series, ‘With Love, Meghan.’ Having already released two series, fans are keenly interested in what the future holds for the show and her broader creative endeavors with the streaming giant. While a third season has been a subject of speculation, Meghan herself has shed light on her approach to content creation and her renewed partnership with Netflix.
The Story So Far: ‘With Love, Meghan’ Seasons 1 and 2
Launched in March, ‘With Love, Meghan’ quickly introduced viewers to a more personal side of the Duchess. The show features the 44-year-old cooking, hosting, and making memories with friends, both old and new. The second season, released in August, was filmed concurrently with the first, showcasing a seamless production process.
Despite the initial excitement, Netflix’s latest engagement report from July 2025, covering the first half of the year, indicated that the series ranked at No. 383 with 5.3 million views. This reception has led some experts to suggest a need for a creative pivot.
According to celebrity PR specialist Kayley Cornelius, future seasons would require more than just “feel-good concepts.” Speaking to Action Network, Cornelius advised Meghan to focus on “originality and substance,” backed by “well-loved special guests and fresh, thought-provoking ideas” to offer genuine value beyond what’s already available online. This sentiment underscores the need for continuous evolution in the competitive streaming landscape.
A Confirmed Holiday Treat and Evolving Formats
While the fate of a traditional third season remains playfully ambiguous, Meghan Markle has confirmed an exciting development for fans: a “new, special holiday episode” of ‘With Love, Meghan’ is set to be released in December. The Duchess teased this festive installment during her appearance at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, humorously referencing her past.
“I do lots of gift wrapping techniques. You guys know I used to teach gift wrapping at Paper Source, an advanced gift wrapping [class],” Meghan shared, adding, “All of those things that you do as an auditioning actor, that’s not the full circle I was expecting, but here we are.” This nostalgic nod promises a delightful and personal touch for the upcoming special, reminiscent of her pre-royal life.
Meghan’s Vision: Content in ‘Different Sizes’ and the Netflix Deal
At the Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit on October 14, 2025, Meghan offered a deeper look into her creative plans and her evolving relationship with Netflix. She described the production process for her series as a “year of learning” and candidly compared it to the intense years of filming ‘Suits.’
Meghan acknowledged the demanding nature of television production but emphasized the opportunity it provides to connect with her audience differently. Her new approach appears to be centered on offering content “in different sizes,” adapting to modern digital consumption habits. “It’s amazing to be able to sit and watch a show for 30 minutes, but how can I give you a recipe in two minutes and where can I share that with you and how that continues to grow As Ever?” she explained, indicating an exploration of shorter-form content and integration with her lifestyle brand.
Addressing the ‘Downgrade’ Rumors
Reports had previously circulated that Meghan and Prince Harry’s deal with Netflix had been “downgraded.” However, Meghan clarified the situation, describing the new arrangement as a “first-look deal.” She highlighted the flexibility this offers, allowing their production company, Archewell Productions, to take ideas elsewhere if Netflix passes on them.
Meghan drew a parallel to the Obamas’ “Higher Ground” deal, stating, “My husband and I were in an overall deal with Netflix, and then not just similar to higher ground in the Obamas’ deal, once that had come to its term, the extension of it, which was such an incredible sign of the strength of our partnership, was now being in a first-look deal.” She expressed gratitude for the “creative partnership” with Netflix, which also supports her As Ever lifestyle brand. This perspective, shared at the Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, presents a more positive outlook than some commentators, like PR expert Mark Borkowski, who viewed the shift as Netflix “pivoting away from two very expensive people who didn’t deliver.”
This renewed partnership, which gives Archewell Productions greater autonomy, also sees them working on other projects, including the adaptation of Carley Fortune’s book, ‘Meet Me at the Lake.’ This diversification signals a strategic move to broaden their content footprint beyond traditional series formats.
The Broader Picture: Other Ventures
Meghan’s evolving strategy with Netflix comes after other high-profile ventures. In 2020, she and Harry inked major deals with Penguin Random House, which published Harry’s memoir ‘Spare,’ and Spotify. However, their Spotify deal, estimated at £18 million, concluded in 2023 after only one podcast, Meghan’s show ‘Archetypes,’ was delivered. These experiences likely inform her current focus on flexibility and diverse content delivery.
Meghan’s Diverse Engagements: A Glimpse Behind the Scenes
Beyond her Netflix projects, Meghan’s recent activities showcase her multifaceted interests and commitment to her personal brand. In October 2025, she made her debut at Paris Fashion Week, attending a Balenciaga show to support creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli. A peek into her prep revealed an unexpected habit: a 100-day streak on Duolingo, brushing up on her French skills.
This engagement also saw her joined by her longtime friend and makeup artist, Daniel Martin, who previously appeared in seasons 1 and 2 of ‘With Love, Meghan.’ Such appearances highlight the Duchess’s continued engagement in various cultural and creative spheres, which undoubtedly feed into her lifestyle brand and public persona.
What This Means for Fans of ‘With Love, Meghan’
For the dedicated fan community, Meghan’s recent statements paint a picture of an exciting, albeit evolving, future. While a conventional third season of ‘With Love, Meghan’ is not explicitly confirmed, the emphasis on “content in different sizes” suggests that the spirit of the show could manifest in new formats—perhaps shorter, more digestible videos shared across various platforms, potentially integrated with her As Ever brand.
The confirmed December holiday special is a direct win for those eagerly awaiting new content. Furthermore, the broader Netflix deal, as detailed by Meghan to Us Weekly, indicates a robust, long-term partnership that aims to create “thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally.” Fans can anticipate a range of projects from Archewell Productions, reflecting Meghan’s diverse interests and commitment to connecting with audiences in innovative ways.
