The deal between Meghan Markle and Netflix for her show, “With Love, Meghan,” is reportedly nearing its end.

Meghan Markle’s Netflix deal won’t be renewed once it expires, ‘source’ claims
Meghan Markle and her deal with Netflix once promised significant potential, but her show is reportedly coming to an end without any news of renewal. According to exclusive insights from Rob Shuter’s report, the streaming platform has decided not to extend Markle’s contract, opting to let the deal conclude naturally.
As per insiders, Markle’s deal is currently active. However, Netflix is planning to end it, with one senior executive noting, “They’re letting it expire without drama.” The Netflix executive added, “But there’s no appetite for anything new.” Shuter’s report suggested that the crux of the issue was the lack of viewer engagement.
Markle‘s lifestyle series, “With Love, Meghan,” purportedly underperformed. It landed at No. 383 in Netflix’s global ranking despite Markle’s influential status and extensive promotion. A source commented, “She had everything going for her—name, platform, press,” but “the numbers were dismal.” Though Netflix initially hinted at the possibility of a second season of the series, insiders clarified it was part of a cost-saving measure.
Footage for the second season was filmed along with the first. An insider revealed, “There is no actual renewal,” adding, “It was baked in from the start.” Additionally, Prince Harry’s documentary on polo did not do well either, ranking at No. 3,436 with 500,000 views globally. Shuter’s insider stated, “The interest just isn’t there anymore. They went from buzzy to background noise.”
The final season of Meghan Markle‘s show is expected to air later this year. However, her deal with Netflix is “dead,” as the source concluded. According to the insider, “They’re just waiting for the credits to roll.” As the streaming giant’s choice to let the contract expire takes the spotlight, all eyes turn to Markle and her next ventures.
