Streaming and network television shows have been facing challenges, and it’s no different for someone like Meghan Markle in the entertainment industry. Netflix recently released an Engagement Report for the first half of 2025, shedding light on the performance of shows like Meghan’s lifestyle show, “With Love, Meghan.” The report revealed that the show ranked 383rd with 5.3 million views after its premiere on March 4, falling behind popular shows like “Adolescence” and “Squid Games.”
“With Love, Meghan” initially made it to the Top 10 a week after its debut but quickly dropped off. Despite this, a second season is confirmed to air in the fall, featuring Chrissy Teigen as a guest on the first episode. However, the show will need to improve its viewership numbers if Meghan hopes to see a third season.
Netflix’s move towards transparency with reports like these stems from the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild strikes, aiming to provide insight into show performance. The report serves as a wake-up call for Meghan, highlighting areas for improvement in the upcoming season.
Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos emphasized the importance of transparency in the industry during a speech at the Fast Company Innovation Festival in September 2024. Sarandos stressed the need to share viewership numbers to help talent, agents, and the press distinguish hits from misses.
