‘With Love, Meghan' Season 2: News
In a new release, Netflix promises that season two of WLM will bring more of what fans enjoyed the first time around: 'Celebrity chefs, talented artists, and beloved friends for hands-on adventures filled with laughter and discovery.' While the show aired to a mixed response, it hit the Top 10 list in a mammoth 24 countries and pulled an impressive 5.3 million views in the first half of 2025.
And as for the holiday special, that's set to be shot in Montecito where Meghan and Prince Harry live (although we imagine not in their home, as the couple have previously explained they like to keep their children out of the spotlight and it would potentially be a bit full-on for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to have a gigantic filming crew in their own kitchen!).
A statement shared with Cosmopolitan UK by the Sussex's comms team says the December offering will see 'friends and family deck the halls, create holiday feasts, craft heartfelt gifts, and share lots of laughs—with simple how-tos to follow at home". Sounds like Pinterest IRL, if you ask us (which is absolutely ideal)!
Elsewhere and continuing on their Netflix partnership that began in 2020, the Duke and Duchess are gearing up to produce an adaption of the best-selling novel Meet Me at the Lake by Carly Fortune. Expect cute romance galore when that drops (again, no confirmed date at this time though).
'My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision,' Meghan said, when commenting on the new slate of shows in the works.
Also commenting on the news, Bela Bajaria, Netflix's Chief Content Officer, said: 'Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. The response to their work speaks for itself—Harry & Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series.
'More recently, fans have been inspired by With Love, Meghan, with products from the new As ever line consistently selling out in record time. We're excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together.'

What Princess Diana would've done about Harry and William's ongoing rift, according to her biographer
As Prince Harry's ongoing rift with his estranged brother, Prince William, rages on, one question remains: what would Princess Diana have done? The feuding brothers, who have not maintained contact following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's royal exit in 2020, were once so close they were practically joined at the hip. According to Diana's biographer, Andrew Morton, the beloved late royal — who died in 1997 at age 36 — would no doubt have rolled up her sleeves and stepped in as 'peacemaker.' 5 Princess Diana's biographer has shared his thoughts on how she may have dealt with William and Harry's strained relationship. UK Press via Getty Images 'Diana always used to say she had two boys for a reason — the younger would be there to support the older in the lonely task as future king,' Morton told People. 'There is no doubt Diana would have tried to act as a peacemaker between them. If she had been around, they would have worked things out in a different way.' 'We all remember the days when Harry and William were joshing with one another, and it all seemed set for their relationship and the future — that Harry, as Diana always used to say, would be William's wingman,' added Morton, who had collaborated with the late Princess of Wales on the 1992 book, 'Diana: Her True Story.' Though Harry, 40, and the future king, 43, are living totally different lives on opposite sides of the world, a palace insider told the outlet that Diana's influence remains instilled in both of them. 5 The feuding brothers have not maintained contact following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's royal exit in 2020. POOL/AFP via Getty Images 'This is the sadness of it — they aren't supporting each other like they should be,' the source said. 'That's what any mother would want — that they are there for each other.' Elsewhere, royal historian Robert Lacey told the outlet that the pair's fractured relationship is 'a great loss for the monarchy.' 'The rift is very profound and very long-lasting. It will not be changed, in my opinion, until Harry makes a move and apologizes,' he said. Lacey's words were echoed by historian Amanda Foreman, who told the outlet that both camps want the reconciliation to happen 'on their own terms' — making it 'impossible.' 5 Princess Diana with her sons, Prince Harry and William in September 1995. WireImage 'They both deeply believe that they're fighting for profound points of principle,' Lacey added. It comes just weeks after it was reported that William and Harry will both be invited to the wedding of their eldest cousin, Peter Phillips. The eldest and 'favorite' grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II announced last month that he is engaged to Harriet Sperling after one year of dating. Though a wedding date has yet to be set, the upcoming celebration has sparked questions over whether both princes will attend, given their yearslong feud. 5 Currently, Harry, 40, and the future king, 43, are living totally different lives on opposite sides of the world. Getty Images The duke may be hesitant to attend the nuptials, given that he lost his bid for taxpayer-funded security earlier this year. In recent years, the Invictus Games founder has opted to attend several milestone family events alone, including the funeral of his uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, last summer. Follow The Post's royal family live blog for the latest pics, news, exclusive details and more It marked the first time Harry and William were reunited amid their feud, though sources said they were 'keeping their distance' and did not speak to each other at the service. Still, Harry recently proved he's serious about mending bridges with his loved ones after approving a so-called peace summit between his and King Charles's aides. 5 Royal historian Robert Lacey said the pair's fractured relationship is 'a great loss for the monarchy.' Getty Images The 'Spare' author's press team was seen meeting up with the monarch's communications secretary for a top-secret meeting in London in July. However, it's said that Charles is 'cautious and wary' of his estranged son's attempt at gluing the family back together given the major trust issues that remain.

Breaking Down the Ending of Netflix's 'Saare Jahan Se Accha: The Silent Guardians'
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Saare Jahan Se Accha. Set in the 1970s, Saare Jahan Se Accha: The Silent Guardians unspools an intense tale of espionage and military strategy, following an Indian counterintelligence officer as he confronts an imminent nuclear threat. Premiering on Aug. 13 on Netflix, the series finds drama in the complex and dangerous workings of intelligence operations, where every step can mean the difference between life and death. By showcasing the intrigue, betrayal, and sacrifice of the agents involved, the series exposes the human cost behind national security. Let's break down the major plot lines in Saare Jahan Se Accha: The Silent Guardians. The conflict between India and Pakistan in Saare Jahan Se Accha is more than a territorial or ideological dispute—it is a race for power. The storyline is inspired by real historical events: since the partition of the British subcontinent in 1947, the two countries have fought wars primarily over the disputed Kashmir province. In the series—which begins in the early 1960s and unfolds in a linear timeline—after two wars within five years, Indian physicist Homi Jehangir Bhabha publicly advocates for India to become a nuclear power. This declaration draws the attention of the CIA, which fears an arms race in the region and begins acting to prevent India from developing its bomb. Indian agent Vishnu Shankar (Pratik Gandhi) discovers that confidential information about Bhabha's trip was leaked to the Americans and tries to prevent an assassination attempt. However, the scientist dies when the plane explodes mid-air in 1966, putting India's nuclear program on hold. This event leads to the creation of a new Indian espionage agency, focused especially on monitoring threats in enemy territories: the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW). In Saare Jahan Se Accha, tensions between the countries rise again with the crisis in East Pakistan that triggers the 1971 war. Pakistan is divided, and India claims victory—which is seen as a national humiliation across the border. The prime ministers of both countries sign the Simla Agreement, intended as a peace treaty, but unexpectedly marking the beginning of another conflict. Determined never to lose again, the Pakistani government secretly initiates efforts to acquire its own nuclear bomb, turning the dispute into a silent war of intelligence and strategy. In Episode 3 of the series, it becomes clear that Pakistan is not building its own nuclear reactor from scratch, but buying one from the French manufacturer HGN—a company active in nuclear technology that also helped China become a nuclear power—with components that will enable the production of neutralized plutonium. This material will be converted into weapons-grade plutonium, suitable for nuclear arms manufacture. To curb this threat, Vishnu, now leading R&AW operations in Pakistan, organizes a risky secret mission to intercept a shipment near the port of Gadani, where the cargo is expected to arrive. He is aided by Yasir Abbas, a weapons specialist; Raghuveer Singh, a sniper who served in Kashmir and Tawang; Uday Bhan, an explosives expert; and Sukhbir Singh, an Indian agent undercover in Pakistan posing as a Karachi stockbroker. With heavy military security and constant surveillance, the location is nearly impenetrable but still has vulnerabilities. Vishnu's team infiltrates an abandoned underground tunnel about 800 meters from the port to plant explosives at strategic points, since the trucks carrying the dismantled reactor—split into three loads—will pass directly above it. However, Pakistani soldiers patrolling the area discover the team, leading to a firefight that kills three soldiers. Yasir, Uday, and Raghuveer don Pakistani army uniforms to execute a new plan: blow up the ship carrying the reactor. Meanwhile, Vishnu heads to a watchtower and Sukhbir sets off in a boat with a backup plan if the others fail to detonate the explosives from inside. Yasir, Uday, and Raghuveer are killed by Pakistani forces after planting explosives on the cargo, which are then defused. Using a walkie-talkie, Vishnu informs Sukhbir of the situation, and then he initiates his plan. Piloting a boat loaded with explosives toward the ship, Sukhbir exchanges gunfire with the army once they spot him. Despite being wounded, he recovers enough to successfully ram into the ship, resulting in a massive explosion that destroys both vessels. The mission was never supposed to be a suicide operation, but following the failure of the initial plan and the deaths of the specialists, Sukhbir initiated his backup plan. With that, Pakistan loses its nuclear reactor. At the start of Saare Jahan Se Accha, several spies from the CIA, Mossad, and KGB are uncovered and killed in Pakistan, as well as intermediaries assisting India. However, the most prominent characters involved in the R&AW mission die beginning in Episode 3. Naushad Ahmed, a respected senior officer in the Pakistan Army, begins feeding information on Pakistan's nuclear program to R&AW after being blackmailed with photos of his son, Altamash Ahmed, with another boy. Naushad asks his friend Murtaza Malik, head of Pakistan's intelligence agency, to look after his son before said friend shoots him in the head. The three specialists on Vishnu's team—Yasir Abbas, Raghuveer Singh, and Uday Bhan—are killed during the violent confrontation with Pakistani soldiers on the ship. The most poignant sacrifice is that of Sukhbir, whose intentional crash into the cargo ship amounts to a suicide mission. This act ensures the reactor's total destruction as he sacrifices his life for the success of the operation and his country. Vishnu Shankar is the sole survivor of this mission, carrying the memory of his fallen comrades who gave their lives for national security—a silent and invisible gesture to the public. The series' conclusion reinforces the somber tone that permeates the narrative. After the successful mission, Vishnu returns to India but carries the weight of loss and the heavy responsibility of his role. Though Vishnu's mission to sabotage the imminent nuclear threat succeeds, he is already en route to a new assignment in the final minutes of the last episode. The series closes with Vishnu on the India-China border, symbolizing that despite this battle's victory, the intelligence war never ends. Each completed mission is merely a step toward the next, in a relentless fight to protect his country from unseen dangers.

Good News And Bad News About ‘Wednesday' Season 2 Viewership
The numbers are in, and according to new data, there has been an effective zero percent drop in viewership between seasons of Wednesday, indicating interest in the show is still there after a nearly three-year break. That's the good news, that Wednesday didn't lose viewership over time because of the break. It got 50 million views in its first five days of streaming, compared to season 1 getting 50.1 million views over the same period. More good news is that because season 2 of Wednesday is split in half, so unlike Wednesday season 1, there will be a second spike of viewership next month, something the original Wednesday did not have with its eight-episode binge-drop. So, more viewership over the long term may be incoming. I'm not exactly sure I view this 50 million tie as amazing news, however. I think even with half the season out, you would want to see that above season 1 if you're trying to ramp up interest in a show you've already greenlit for season 3 and want to continue making indefinitely. Almost every show with multiple seasons on Netflix's all-time list has had its later seasons pass its first season, from Bridgerton to Stranger Things to Money Heist. The lone, recent exceptions are seasons 2 and 3 of Squid Game, but…there was also the complaint that they did not live up dramatically to season 1 at all. So that's not good. I think we have to bank on the idea that Wednesday season 2 with its second part 2 influx of views may ultimately surpass season 1. But I also think the lesson here is that a nearly three-year gap between seasons of a show like this depresses viewership more than we might see otherwise. Fortunately, however, season 3 of Wednesday is about to start production in November, way, way sooner than the gap between season 1 and production starting on season 2, which was over a year. By my calculations, this time around we may be waiting only ('only') a year and a half for Wednesday season 3. It's a big hit, that's the main thing. Interest did not crash and it will remain a hugely important show for the future of Netflix given that its monsters like Stranger Things and Squid Game are about to end, or have already ended. Nothing is exactly close to Wednesday's level of success, short of Bridgerton being made eternally. Though even that is not particularly close. The show has a long life ahead of it.
