Will history repeat itself?Meghan Markle has a new Netflix show coming out in March called With Love, Meghan – but its future isn’t looking too good, according to bookies.
With Love, Meghan is a new eight-part lifestyle show coming to the streaming giant on March 4. It was originally meant to premiere on January 15, however, Meghan decided to delay the launch amid the LA wildfires.
Ahead of its highly-anticipated premiere, a bookmakers has made a prediction on the show’s future.
Meghan Markle’s Netflix show tipped to be cancelled after first series
A trailer for Meghan‘s show was released in January. The show has been described as a “heartfelt tribute to the beauty of southern California”.
It’ll see the duchess, 43, provide tips and tricks on cooking, gardening and crafting. It’ll also feature some celebrity guests including actress Mindy Kaling and Meghan’s hubby Prince Harry.
But, according to BetIdeas, Meghan’s show has a strong chance of being discontinued after the first series.
It comes amid new allegations about Meghan’s treatment of staff members. Recently, Vanity Fair published a lengthy article about the Sussexes.
In it, a Spotify employee allegedly criticised the couple’s approach to podcasting. Meanwhile, a source claimed that staff who worked on Meghan’s Archetypes podcast said it was “very awful”.
Harry, 40, and Meghan are said to be “distressed” over the claims. Royal Insider contacted reps for the couple on this story.
With Love, Meghan has odds of 1/2 to be axed
BetIdeas gave odds of 1/2 on the series being axed by Netflix following the fresh allegations.
Meanwhile, odds on having the show commissioned for a second series stand at 6/4.
We make it a high chance at 1/2 that With Love, Meghan is axed by Netflix.
Lee Astley, spokesperson for BetIdeas, said: “Meghan Markle appears to be in hot water again following fresh allegations about her treatment of her staff, placing the future of her new Netflix series in doubt.
“We make it a high chance at 1/2 that With Love, Meghan is axed by Netflix, while the series is 6/4 to be awarded another season.”
This could see history repeat itself as Meghan’s Spotify podcast, Archetypes, was cancelled after one season.
Meghan Markle could ‘benefit’ from Netflix delay
Elsewhere, a PR expert recently spoke about the new Netflix show and said the premiere date delay could benefit Meghan in the future.
Who is Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex?

What did Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex do before joining the monarchy?
Former actress Meghan had a string of acting roles before she met Prince Harry, most famously playing the role of Rachel Zane in legal drama Suits.
Her acting career began at Northwestern University.
The duchess also wrote a lifestyle blog named The Tig and became heavily involved in charity work - which has continued since she met Harry.
Marrying Prince Harry
Meghan married into the royal family on May 19, 2018, when she and Prince Harry tied the knot at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Just a few months after their wedding, Meghan and Harry announced they were expecting their first child. They welcomed Prince Archie on May 6, 2019.
Two years later on June 4, 2021, the couple welcomed a daughter named Princess Lilibet. She was named after the late Queen Elizabeth II - whose nickname was Lilibet.
Months after welcoming son Archie, Prince Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping down from their senior royal roles within the royal family. They then moved to the United States and have lived there since.
Meghan has made a return to the entertainment world, launching projects with Netflix alongside Harry. In January 2025, she announced a lifestyle show named With Love, Meghan, which will see her giving cooking and gardening tips to viewers alongside a host of celebrity guests. It will premiere on March 4, 2025.
Brand and Culture expert Nick Ede told Royal Insider: “There will always be noise surrounding the work that Meghan does so although the show is being delayed to March, all eyes will be on it when it eventually airs.
“I don’t think that this will detract from its potential success and in the long run it may benefit her as she has been gaining support from her fans and also detractors with her comments on Meta and their rules on fact checks.”
With Love, Meghan is set to premiere on Netflix on March 4.
