The chalkboard menus, the lavender lattes, the ever-open door of lifestyle guest stars: Meghan Markle's Netflix universe is one where the sugar still sits at the bottom of the cup, undissolved, and the floral arrangements almost always caught mid-rehearsal. The streamer's incessant reprise of With Love, Meghan has blurred the lines between trial runs and an actual series. As viewers wonder whether these endless teasers will ever culminate in a genuine hit, the Duchess herself appears steadfast and a little too optimistically, unmoved.

If you cannot tell whether you are watching a rerun or an audition tape when tuning in the Duchess's show, hold your horses, she might fix it with a new season. 

At the Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit on October 14, Meghan Markle addressed speculation about the future of With Love, Meghan. When asked about her plans for another season, Markle made clear the lags in the show, such as the format of “Eight episodes for two seasons — it’s a lot of work", and calling it "a year of learns". Soaking in the introspection, however, the Duchess enthusiastically announced a "really good" holiday spin-off in the works for the show, with no signs of tiring out in sight.

The second season of With Love, Meghan premiered to an underwhelming response, missing Netflix’s Top 10 and experiencing a considerable drop in viewership from its debut season. Critics noted the repetitive format and a lack of narrative substance, while online commentary described the show as polished yet hollow. Despite these signs, Meghan Markle seems largely unaware or perhaps unfazed by the lukewarm reception, as can be gauged from her Fortune interview, proceeding with confidence as if audience enthusiasm remains intact.​

Who needs ratings when you have royalty and recipes? Not Meghan Markle, of course.

Meghan Markle had quite nonchalantly addressed the show's critics on the Bloomberg Original The Circuit, unabashedly expressing how them "saying negative things and then secretly going home and making single skillet spaghetti?" could be a major possibility. For Markle, detractors might simply be capitalizing on public discourse, while she is aware of "who I was trying to meet", and of the demographic her content would serve, leading to "why we have a Season 2 and why we have more fun coming".

As Markle prepares yet another season of With Love, Meghan, the question remains whether the program will transcend its trial run purgatory and achieve lasting cultural relevance. For now, whatever the makeup artist says is the reason for Markle's glow, her Netflix show definitely is, even as critics and viewers alike wonder if there is more to the project than curated candor and endless repeats of televised practice sessions.
