The Duchess of Sussex might encounter a hurdle as her Netflix series, *With Love, Meghan*, faces the possibility of being discontinued before the year ends.

This show, where Meghan hosts celebrity chats while cooking, has a holiday-themed episode scheduled soon. However, it might be the series’ swan song, as the platform considers cancellation due to anticipated drops in viewership.

Betting odds suggest that the show’s cancellation after the Christmas special is currently rated at 6/4, with predictions for the series’ audience numbers to plummet, standing at 5/4.

According to Esports Bets, the upcoming holiday episode is expected to garner only a mild reception, with both ratings and viewership likely to decline.

As reported by the Express US, the fate of *With Love, Meghan* remains uncertain, with odds pointing to a possible conclusion following the festive broadcast.

Christmas ‘6/4 cancellation chance’

Darragh Harbinson, spokesperson for Esports Bets, said: “The upcoming Christmas special feels like a litmus test for With Love, Meghan, after persistent scrutiny from critics throughout the year.

“The odds point to a softer audience than previous episodes – at 5/4 for a record low – and there’s a 6/4 chance the show is cancelled in the aftermath if Netflix feel the numbers don’t stack up.”

The development follows a public relations expert’s cautionary remarks regarding Meghan’s recent professional venture as she was spotted returning to the acting world. The Duchess of Sussex, who retired from her acting career eight years ago, has now joined the cast of the forthcoming Amazon MGM Studios film Close Personal Friends.

Meghan acting return: reputational crisis

Meghan will be portraying herself in the film and has been seen on set in Pasadena, California. While fans are thrilled about her return to acting, PR expert Ryan McCormick has cautioned that Meghan’s appearance could lead to a “reputational crisis.”

In an exclusive interview with The Express US, the expert elaborated, “What could cause this engagement to become a reputational crisis is if her acting dramatically pales in comparison to her featured co-stars to the point where it appears they are in two different films.”

However, he suggested that a “brief but memorable role” could be beneficial for the former Suits actress.

Strong hand, if she plays it right

McCormick informed us, “A brief but memorable role could be very positive for Meghan Markle, especially if the film is critically acclaimed.

“October 2025 was the lowest US box office performance in 27 years, so it seems that things can only get better. This timing actually works in Markle’s favour – studios are experimenting more with casting, and audiences are hungry for fresh narratives.”

The PR expert concluded, “By having a brief appearance, the pressure of delivering success is alleviated on Markle. She has a very strong hand.”
