Meghan Markle at Risk of Losing Netflix Deal After ‘With Love, Meghan’ Flops
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might be parting ways with Netflix after the disappointing performance of her lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan.
On July 17, the streamer revealed viewership numbers for the first half of 2025. Meghan’s new show, which debuted in early March, ranked 383rd, with 5.3 million views. Those numbers were similar to those for Cobra Kai Season 4 and Peaky Blinders Season 2. The show was also outperformed by several seasons of Suits, the USA Network legal drama that Meghan appeared in before she married Harry.
Harry and Meghan’s other Netflix shows pulled in much smaller numbers of viewers. Polo, which launched in December 2024, had just 500,000 views. Harry & Meghan, which premiered in December 2022, had 1.3 million views.
Netflix renewed ‘With Love, Meghan’ for season 2
With Love, Meghan dropped on March 4 and initially made the streamer’s top 10, though it quickly slid out of the list of most-watched shows. Soon after, Netflix announced it had renewed the show for season 2. The episodes have already been filmed and will debut sometime in the fall of 2025. But the show’s future beyond that – and the rest of Harry and Meghan’s multi-million dollar Netflix deal – is uncertain.
“The deal is done; no more shows will be made,” a source recently told The Sun. “Netflix feel they’ve got all they can from the couple.”
The insider added that Netflix was happy with the performance of Harry & Meghan, which had a record number of viewers for a documentary series on the streamer.
“They’re not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time,” the source said, adding that although the “content got weaker,” they were “not unhappy with how things turned out.”
The decision to part ways was mutual, the source added.
“There’s no animosity from either side,” the insider claimed. “Things have just run their course.”
With Love, Meghan is streaming on Netflix.
