You’d be hard pressed to find a positive review of With Love, Meghan, the latest venture from Netflix and Meghan Markle – ahem, Meghan Sussex. The homely hosting series centres on a picture-perfect farmhouse kitchen while the American Duchess chats with her California pals, cooks, and shares tips and tricks on how to transform the everyday with a bit of magic.

If that sounds twee, you’d be right on the nose – but the eight-episode series fulfils its role if you’re looking for a one-off dollop of escapism. If the media had anything to do with it, however, Netflix would have washed its hands of Meghan and Harry soon after the series launched, admitting defeat after a final punt at squeezing some profit from its $100 million investment in the royal duo.

Especially after a flopped deal with Spotify led to that tech company’s head of podcasts branding the couple ‘grifters’, everyone’s eyes have been keenly trained on the movements of Meghan and Harry and their nine-figure Netflix deal. Since 2020, the deal has yielded 2022 docuseries Harry & Meghan, Live to Lead (also 2022), 2023’s Heart of Invictus docuseries and 2024’s Polo docuseries – the latter three achieving middling results.

So why has Netflix rebutted the headlines and renewed With Love, Meghan for another season? Amid critical slams and a loss of faith in the Sussexes, it seems Netflix is clinging onto an age-old adage: all PR is good PR. As Meghan makes the headlines, her Netflix ratings climb ever higher; With Love, Meghan is currently number nine in the all-important Netflix top 10 here in the UK after premiering on 4 March. Also, they’ve already filmed it. Here’s what we can expect from season 2.

With Love, Meghan Season 2: All The Details

Just three days after With Love, Meghan debuted on Netflix (after being delayed from its original January release amid the LA wildfires), Netflix revealed the sun-kissed series was far from over: season 2 is officially happening. Why? Well, ‘there’s more joy to be shared’, Netflix says sweetly. Also: ‘The second season has completed filming.’ Hmm…

What Will Happen?

‘Don’t put away your flower sprinkles just yet,’ Netflix teases. It seems With Love, Meghan season 2 will be much of the same: cooking, crafting, hosting and chatting. They say ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’, but it’s hard to know if something is broken if you film a follow-up before part one has aired. That said, the streamer couldn’t have predicted the level of vitriolic headlines its happy-go-lucky series has received. Trust the process?

Is With Love, Meghan An ‘As Ever’ Marketing Ploy?

It seems Netflix has other vested interests in With Love, Meghan: the streaming platform is officially partnered with Meghan’s lifestyle brand. Remember when it was first teased with the uncanny name ‘American Riviera Orchard’? Back then, it was thought to be a lifestyle brand focussing on ‘home, garden, food and general lifestyle wares’. Now known as ‘As Ever’, it seems the brand will tie in more closely with With Love, Meghan than we anticipated.

Launching in spring 2025, Netflix describes As Ever as ‘dedicated to curating beautifully crafted essentials for the home’, suggesting the brand ‘brings Meghan’s signature design aesthetic – as seen in her series With Love, Meghan – to life’. Forget teleshopping: it’s streamshopping time.

‘As Ever will offer a bit of everything, be it for at-home chefs, budding hosts, or those simply looking to add sparks of joy to the everyday,’ Netflix says. ‘The inaugural collection showcases eight products that Meghan has personally developed over the past year, drawing on her years of home cooking and entertaining (which included her previous lifestyle blog, The Tig). Each piece is thoughtfully and intentionally chosen, and As Ever will introduce new items seasonally.’

The first collection is made up of the following eight products, available in the US from spring 2025:

Raspberry Spread in Specialty Canister
Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea
Herbal Peppermint Tea
Herbal Hibiscus Tea
Flower Sprinkles
Crêpe Mix
Shortbread Cookie Mix with Flower Sprinkles
Limited-Edition Wildflower Honey with Honeycomb
