Meghan Markle's Netflix Cooking Show Secures Spot in Top 10 Despite Poor Reviews

The Duchess of Sussex's 'With Love, Meghan' debuts at number 10 on Netflix's global chart, but viewership lags behind her previous projects with Prince Harry.

'With Love, Meghan,' an eight-episode lifestyle and cooking series, garnered 12.6 million viewing hours in its first week, placing it at number 10 on Netflix's global Top 10 chart.
The show marks Meghan Markle's second Netflix project to make the Top 10, following the success of 2022's 'Harry & Meghan,' which debuted with significantly higher viewership numbers.
Critics have largely panned the series, with outlets like Variety and The Economist criticizing its lack of substance and relatability, while some reviews noted its defensive tone.
Despite mixed reception and lower viewership compared to her joint projects with Prince Harry, Netflix has already greenlit a second season of 'With Love, Meghan.'
The series performed best among viewers aged 45-54 and saw notable popularity in the Baltic states, though it quickly fell off the Top 10 list after its initial debut.
