Season two of Meghan Markle’s Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan”, is sparking buzz, though not necessarily the kind she wanted. A Daily Mail exclusive reported that insiders believe Markle struggled to land major stars this season, leaving the lineup “underwhelming.”
Instead of Hollywood stars, season two is said to feature her longtime makeup artist Daniel Martin, her personal Pilates instructor Heather Dorak, and chefs best known for appearing on another Netflix cooking show. These guests may be close to Markle, but critics say the absence of high-profile celebrity guests could hurt the show’s visibility on streaming platforms.
Insider highlights lack of celebrity guests on Meghan Markle’s show
Sources have reported that Meghan Markle wasn’t able to bring in heavyweights like Oprah Winfrey or Michelle Obama on her show “With Love, Meghan,” on Netflix. Instead, the new season features personal acquaintances and a number of individuals who already have partnerships with Netflix.
This has led some to speculate that the streaming service stepped in to bolster the lineup. Apart from friends, the guest list for season two also includes several culinary figures who have worked with Netflix, such as chefs José Andrés, David Chang, and Samin Nosrat.
Reviews of “With Love, Meghan”‘s first season were already conflicting; some praised the show’s personal touches, while others wrote it off as conceited. Many expected that season two would feature more well-known personalities, but Meghan’s guest list demonstrates that she is depending more on familiar faces than on her star-studded Hollywood connections. Some insiders believe this decision could narrow the show’s appeal, particularly outside of her existing fan base.
Early reactions to the trailer have highlighted just how steep the challenges are for the new season. Despite the mixed responses, the series is moving ahead, with all eight episodes scheduled to drop on Netflix at the same time.
Still, her fans are of the opinion that the guests she chose show that she values realness over celebrity flash. By talking about the people who have helped her in her professional and private life, Meghan may be trying to connect with viewers on a deeper level than just showing off.
The show’s success now hinges on its ability to resonate with viewers despite the perceived lack of star power.
