Meghan Markle Sets November Holiday Special, Rethinks 'With Love, Meghan' Under New Netflix First-Look Deal

She says a first-look pact with Netflix gives her flexibility to test shorter formats tied to her As Ever brand.

Overview

  • At Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, Meghan Markle confirmed a With Love, Meghan holiday special for November and did not commit to a third season.
  • She said she is experimenting with shorter pieces such as two-minute recipe videos to support As Ever and noted that selective retail collaborations may follow in the next couple of years.
  • Markle described August’s move from a 2020 overall Netflix agreement to a multi-year first-look arrangement as a shift that lets her shop projects that may not fit the streamer.
  • The show delivered two eight-episode seasons in 2025, with season one entering Netflix’s top 10 on debut and season two, released in August, missing the list.
  • Coverage highlighted strong negative reviews from outlets including The Guardian and The Telegraph, and a PR expert characterized the revised Netflix terms as a downgrade.
