Hollywood sparkle met royal ambition in a glossy Netflix project that had all the ingredients of a hit — or so it seemed. With a celebrated name like Meghan Markle at the helm and a platform known for global sensations, expectations hovered high for With Love, Meghan. But as viewers scrolled and streamed their way through the first half of 2025, not everything turned out as predicted. Sometimes, even the most heartfelt offerings get lost in the crowd, and the Duchess of Sussex’s latest attempt to establish media dominance ended up as exactly the same.

Not even royal pedigree guarantees streaming success. Netflix numbers for With Love, Meghan tells an unfavorable story.

Meghan Markle received dismal news concerning her lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, as viewing figures for the same were disclosed recently. The much-celebrated show, according to official Netflix numbers, failed to break into the top 10 programs on the platform. Not only that, it could not manage to even get close to the coveted ranking list of the streamer, as it found itself placed at number 383, with just 5.3 million views worldwide since its March 2025 debut. The number left it parallelly parked alongside older shows like Peaky Blinders, Gossip Girl, Grizzly, and more on Netflix.

To further put With Love, Meghan’s streaming numbers in perspective, the most popular Netflix show for the first half of 2025 was Adolescence, with 145 million views. The British drama, notably, was released only a couple of days after Meghan Markle’s show, which sparked anti-feminist allegations against the ex-royal among other criticisms. Regardless of the lifestyle series’ tepid figure, though, the endeavor’s story is not quite over.

What began as a soft start may soon return with a different kind of momentum. Despite its modest first run, With Love, Meghan is set for a second run.

Back in March, as With Love, Meghan made its debut with much fanfare, Meghan Markle confirmed that Season 2 of the show, which she had already filmed with director Michael Steed at the helm, will drop this fall. In a post on Instagram, the Suits alum shared a video of herself flaunting her kitchen skills, writing in the caption: "If you’re loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up on Season 2!"

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand As Ever, for which With Love, Meghan acts as a marketing tool, is doing exceptionally well, with the Duchess' inventory not lasting on the shelves for more than an hour after every restock. Markle’s entrepreneurial journey is so successful that her fans have placed their best bets on it to take Markle to billionaire status sooner than expected. Well, with a second season for the show set, and it serving its purpose as a promotional tool for her company of honey and jams, it does not look like the aforementioned Netflix viewership number will bother Markle a lot.
