Meghan Markle's Netflix Cooking Show Fails to Impress, Ranking Low Among New Releases

Meghan Markle's new culinary series, "With Love, Meghan," released on Netflix on March 4th, is struggling to gain traction with subscribers. According to streaming platform data, the series, showcasing the Duchess of Sussex gardening and cooking, ranks only tenth among the most-watched content this week, with 2.6 million views and 12.6 million hours watched. While "With Love, Meghan" is in the top 10 in 24 countries, including the US, its performance pales in comparison to the "Harry & Meghan" documentary, which garnered 81.5 million viewing hours in its first week. Anglo-Saxon press has criticized the show as a self-promotional exercise. The lukewarm reception casts doubt on the future of a potential third season, especially after the abrupt end of their Spotify podcast deal in 2023.
