The Duchess of Sussex is to return to Netflix with her own reality series, With Love, Meghan.
According to a Netflix, the “inspiring series, produced by Meghan, reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old.
“Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected. She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same.”
The show is set to launch on the streaming service on 15 January, with guests including her LA pals, such as acclaimed chef Roy Choi, actor and comedian Mindy Kaling, and the renowned restraunter Alice Waters.
Her return to the platform comes at a crucial time for the duchess, as she may be looking to relaunch her personal brand following a much quieter year.
Her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, launched on Instagram back in March 2024, though the company is yet to start trading goods as it continues to face setbacks regarding its trademark.
The account featured a bio reading, “By Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. Established 2024,” and a photo grid displaying the brand’s logo.
Though her application to trademark her jams and other goods was initially filed in February, it was rejected in August with her team requesting more time to complete the bid.
The upcoming year also marks an important time for both Meghan and Harry to reignite interest, amid reports that their stock in Hollywood is steadily declining.
Their multimillion-dollar contract with the streaming service is set to come to an end in 2025, though their latest project with the streaming service ‘Polo’ failed the make a splash.
