When Meghan Markle returned with With Love, Meghan 2, expectations were sky high, with audiences anticipating a blend of candid storytelling, glamour, and heartfelt moments from the Duchess. However, as the season unfolded, the series struggled to sustain its hype, with viewership falling short. In a surprising turn, though, Markle appears unfazed by the fact, as she not very long ago shared a blooper reel from the chapter that highlights extraordinary joyful moments.

On Tuesday, Meghan Markle took to Instagram to share a playful With Love, Meghan 2 blooper reel, captioning it, “This seasons’ motto — espresso yourself.” The lighthearted clip offered fans a peek behind the scenes, capturing the Duchess and her celebrity guests sharing laughs both inside and outside her kitchen. While there is nothing wrong with the joyful footage, it strikingly contrasts with the show’s current standing, as Netflix recently released its top 10 list with the offering missing from the ranking entirely, highlighting the gap between the on-screen charm and the series’ viewers’ reaction.
With Love, Meghan season 2’s underwhelming numbers come after season one of the show barely made it into the top 10, with 2.6 million views following its March opening weekend. It failed to sustain long-term interest, too, though, with Netflix’s semi-annual What We Watched report showing it ranked a lowly 383 between January and June 2020, with only 5.3 million views. Even more surprisingly, four seasons of Meghan Markle’s Suits outperformed it, despite having ended six years ago, highlighting the extreme challenge the As Ever founder is facing in capturing a lasting audience with her lifestyle offering. Despite the struggle, however, talks about the subsequent season of the production are rife.
Netflix does have something from Meghan Markle’s lineup for this December, but is it the third season of With Love, Meghan?

Netflix has not yet confirmed a third season of With Love, Meghan; however, the streaming giant has announced a special holiday episode set to premiere this December. Much like the rest of the episodes, Meghan Markle could invite guests into her Montecito home to celebrate the jolly day. This special feature, notably, can be assumed to hold more promise than other episodes, courtesy of its festive theme. The exact release date of the episode is not yet known.

Ultimately, despite pulling several power moves this season, Markle’s With Love, Meghan 2 has shown that even celebrity clout cannot guarantee chart-topping success. The bloopers reveal a side of the Duchess rarely seen, yet ratings tell a sobering story. With a December holiday special on the horizon, there is still hope the series can spark renewed interest. For now, however, viewers are left wondering: will this festive episode be a bridge to season three, or a charming yet final curtain call?
