The rumors are true: Meghan Markle is doing a cooking show on Netflix—and it was scheduled to come out on on Jan. 15, 2025.
On January 2, Meghan introduced the project on her newly-launched Instagram. “I have been so excited to share this with you!” she wrote. “I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it. Wishing you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our amazing crew and the team @netflix. Beyond grateful for the support—and fun! As ever, Meghan.”
However, on January 12, it was announced that the debut would be delayed as Los Angeles and the surrounding area struggle to fight multiple wildfires. In a statement to People, Meghan shared that she had Netflix’s full support for the decision.
“I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California,” she said in a statement.
The show’s new release date is currently March 4.
Netflix also released the official trailer to With Love, Meghan that same day. The non-fiction series “reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old,” the entertainment company wrote. “Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected. She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same.”
News first came out of Meghan’s Netflix show last spring. Deadline reported on April 11, 2024 that the series, which was then in early development, will feature Meghan celebrating “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship.” The show seems to complement the Duchess of Sussex’s upcoming lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
So what do we know about the show? Will Prince Harry and the couple’s children, Archie and Lilibet, make any appearances? Here’s all the details.
