Meghan Markle Cooking Show
In her Instagram post, Meghan shared the show’s trailer, expressing her excitement:
“I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it. Wishing you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our amazing crew and the team @netflix. Beyond grateful for the support – and fun!. As ever, Meghan.”
Filmed in Montecito, California, the series features Meghan engaging in various activities such as cooking in her kitchen, tending to a beehive, arranging flowers, and hosting a mix of friends and guests, including her husband, Prince Harry.
In the trailer, set to The Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Do You Believe in Magic,” Meghan shares, “I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.” She emphasizes that her goal is to surprise people with thoughtful moments, adding, “Love is in the details.”
Netflix describes the series as an “inspiring series, produced by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, that reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old.”
The show will include Meghan sharing personal tips and tricks, highlighting how easy it can be to create beauty, even in unexpected places.
Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show
The 8-episode series, with each installment running 33 minutes, features a lineup of Meghan’s close friends.
This includes her longtime makeup artist Daniel Martin, photographer Delfina Blaquier, actress-producer Mindy Kaling, Tracy Robbins, Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, Tatcha founder Vicky Tsai, former Suits star Abigail Spencer, and Kelly McKee Zajfen. Renowned chefs Roy Choi, Ramon Velazquez, and Alice Waters also bring their culinary expertise to the show.
Directed by Michael Steed (known for Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown) and led by showrunner Leah Hariton (Selena + Chef), the series is a collaborative effort between Meghan and Prince Harry’s Archewell Productions and The Intellectual Property Corporation, a division of Sony Pictures Television.
With Love, Meghan is Meghan’s first solo hosting project for Netflix, offering an intimate and personal glimpse into her world.
This follows the release of Meghan and Harry’s docuseries Polo, which struggled to gain traction on Netflix’s top 10 charts.
In contrast, their 2022 documentary Harry & Meghan premiered with 81.55 million viewing hours, becoming the platform’s most-watched documentary premiere.
Since stepping back from their royal roles in 2020 and moving to California, Meghan and Harry have ventured into media production through their multiyear Netflix deal, reportedly worth $100 million.
Meghan’s passion for cooking was previously showcased in her lifestyle blog, The Tig, and her collaboration with the Hubb Community Kitchen on a fundraising cookbook.
Last spring, she teased her upcoming lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, with jars of strawberry jam featuring the brand’s logo appearing on social media.
The announcement of With Love, Meghan coincided with Meghan launching her new Instagram account, @meghan, marking a fresh start on social media for 2025.
Her first post featured a video shot by Harry, showing Meghan in an all-white outfit writing “2025” in the sand before running off-camera.
The account’s profile picture, a black-and-white shot of Meghan smiling, complements her positive debut.
