With Love, Meghan was anticipated to be a major lifestyle sensation. Yet, it quietly slipped out of Netflix’s Top 10 only six days after its debut in March and has not re-emerged since then.

Recently disclosed streaming statistics from Netflix indicate that Meghan Markle’s domestic-themed series did not even make it into the Top 300 most-watched shows for the first half of 2025. It ranked at No. 383, accumulating just 5.3 million global views, comparable to reruns of Peaky Blinders Season 2, a 2007 season of Gossip Girl, and the children’s show Grizzly and the Lemmings.

That’s not great for a series tied to Meghan and Prince Harry’s widely publicized $100 million Netflix deal.

Although With Love, Meghan was approved in advance for a second season—which is scheduled for release later this year featuring an appearance by Chrissy Teigen—its viewership numbers are anything but promising. The situation seems bleaker when compared to others: Netflix’s leading show during the same timeframe, the British series Adolescence, garnered 145 million views, while The Residence, despite being canceled after one season, attracted 33 million views.

Critics weren’t kind, either. The Guardian called it “toe-curlingly unlovable TV.” The Telegraph dubbed it “an exercise in narcissism.” Viewers echoed the sentiment, with the show holding a 36% Rotten Tomatoes score and a 3.2 rating on IMDb.

Comedian Christina Pazsitzky, aka Christina P, roasted it on TikTok, saying: “She’s an actress playing the part of a human being right now, and it’s not working.” She added: “The problem from minute one is that she’s trying to be perfect all the time, and it reads as phony, as inauthentic and not fun.”

Even Meghan’s father Thomas Markle took a jab, criticizing her decision to drop the Markle name for “Sussex.”

Still, there are some silver linings. Viewers who did tune in stuck around—Netflix data shows an average watch time of 4.47 hours across its eight 30-minute episodes, suggesting strong episode completion.

But while Meghan’s jam-and-sprinkle aesthetic may not have translated to streaming success, her product drops under the As Ever label (also tied to Netflix) sold out within hours. That revenue could be one reason Netflix is still playing ball—Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos reportedly calls Meghan “The Rockstar.”

Prince Harry, however, fared worse. His documentary Polo, a behind-the-scenes look at the elite sport, ranked No. 3,436 with just 500,000 views worldwide. One source told MailOnline it’s on par with reruns of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe.

Though Netflix hasn’t confirmed whether Meghan and Harry’s overall deal is being extended, insiders say the second season of With Love, Meghan was filmed back-to-back with the first, meaning the renewal was more about logistics than success.

As one Netflix source put it: “It’s not a runaway success.”
