Could With Love, Meghan Season Two Be Cancelled?
The couple's five-year $100 million Netflix deal will reportedly not be renewed when it expires this September. An insider told The Sun , 'There's no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course.'
But where does this leave season two of With Love, Meghan ?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix deal may have come to an end, but this doesn't mean With Love, Meghan will be written off. Season two has already been filmed and was scheduled to premiere this autumn.
So far, there's been nothing to suggest that this latest update has led to any cancellation. The promotional content is still up and no announcements have been made. It appears season two of With Love, Meghan will still be streamed, as the final product of the Sussex's million-dollar deal.
As for a third season, it's not known whether this is still a possibility. The end of their current contract doesn't rule out future seasons of the show, or stop Netflix doing any other projects with the couple. According to an insider, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos is still on very good terms with the Duchess, and isn't shutting off the option of a 'one-off project' further down the line.
It's possible then that we will see Harry and Meghan return to the streaming platform – but from September, they'll no longer be under the current contract.
In 2022, the former working royals made history with their bombshell Harry & Meghan – which is still Netflix's most-watched docuseries. However, the couple didn't reach the same heights with their following projects. Harry's Polo docuseries reportedly received just 500,000 views in the first half of 2025, while Heart of Invictus failed to break into the Netflix Top 10 charts in both America and Britain.
Despite garnering mixed reviews, With Love, Meghan was a much-needed success. The show ranked in Netflix's top 10 global shows within a week of its release in March, amassing 2.6 million views. Shortly after the premiere, Netflix confirmed that season two had already been shot and would be hitting our screens later this year.
Filmed in Montecito, California, the series follows Meghan as she invites famous friends and foodies into the kitchen – including Mindy Kaling and Alice Waters. In the Duchess's own words, 'The series is about doing what you can do, and doing it with love.'
Season two is expected to be pretty similar to the format of season one, with Meghan once again serving as executive producer. However, we will be seeing a new set of famous faces. Model Chrissy Teigen and chef Jose Andres were the first names to be announced earlier this year, with Meghan saying, 'I've been fortunate to have the people that I want on the show… I've been really lucky. We have a great, great lineup.'
Fans were surprised during season one that the stunning Californian mansion on the show didn't turn out to be Meghan and Harry's real home. Instead, it was a property rented specifically for filming.
But while the house wasn't as authentically Sussex as some hoped, the family did play a part in the show. Prince Harry made a brief appearance, with the couple's children – Archie, six, and Lilibet, four – also having their moment. Opening up about filming the series, Meghan revealed, 'Archie did the [filming clapboard!] Sweet moments. They would also come with my husband and visit me on set. I loved that my children were able to watch me working and see the balance of that and understand what Mama does and is working to create and share. It was really special because up until then, they hadn't seen me at work.'

Simon Cowell 'never been so angry' after treatment on Celebrity SAS show
X Factor star, Lucy Spraggan, has spilled the beans on Simon Cowell's brief cameo on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which returns to Channel 4 on Sunday Simon Cowell was fuming after his small stint on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins recently, according to the show's new recruit, Lucy Spraggan. The dad-of-one, 65, who walked the X Factor star, 34, down the aisle last year, is not part of the lineup, but pops up in the Channel 4 endurance show when he calls Lucy to try and help motivate her. The singer, who has been close friends with Simon following her harrowing experience on the X Factor in 2012, is reportedly hung up on by the DS (directing staff) when he tries to rally his pal, leaving the media mogul "so angry". Speaking to The Sun, Lucy said: "The DS [directing staff] hung up on him and he was like, 'I've never been so angry'." In the interview, the singer also said the 65-year-old considered appearing on the show himself, but she was worried he'd 'die'. She revealed: "He thought it was a great idea, me doing the show. He knows I love being outdoors. We do a lot of shooting air rifles and stuff together, so he knows this is my thing, testing my mental resilience. "It was just funny because he had said, 'Oh, maybe I'll try and have a go at it'. I was like, 'Simon, you would literally die!'. It was funny because it really contextualised how hard it was that I just straight away said to him, 'You would have no chance.' Lucy bestowed the biggest honour on the media mogul when he walked her down the aisle last year. The former X Factor boss also made a speech at her wedding to the "love of her life" Emilia Smith. And while many fans may be bamboozled at Lucy's close bond with Simon, she's spoken fondly about him and how she knows a "very wholesome version" of the multi-millionaire. Lucy - who is estranged from her biological dad - and Simon were able to build a strong bond over the last four years after he apologised for not supporting her following her harrowing sex attack in 2012 while she was filming The X Factor. At the time, Lucy was only 21 years old and was sexually attacked by a hotel porter named Soby John, who used his hotel key card to enter her room after she had passed out drunk after celebrating Rylan Clark's birthday. But it wasn't until the death of Caroline Flack in 2020, Lucy felt able to speak out about her ordeal. Her attacker was sentenced to 10 years and was deported back to India, after serving three years of his sentence. Lucy now has her sights set on winning Celebrity SAS in which she stars alongside Love Island 's Tasha Ghouri, The Traitors ' Harry Clark, S Club's Hannah Spearritt and former glamour model Rebecca Loos.

How Ruben Dias used secret weapon to win over Maya Jama as pals claim couple are plotting major next move
HER enviable charisma and curves make Maya Jama everyone's type on paper, so winning her affection was arguably tougher than landing the treble for her Manchester City boyfriend, Ruben Dias. But eight months on since they quietly started dating, we can reveal the secret weapon Ruben used to score a future with the Love Island host - and pal's claims that they're planning to take a major step in their relationship. 10 10 Having met months after a failed last-ditch effort with her rapper ex Stormzy, the 30-year-old wasn't looking for love when Ruben asked for her number at the MTV Europe Music Awards in his football team's hometown. It had been Maya and Stormzy's second go at a relationship. They first split after five years together in 2020 not long before Maya got engaged to NBA player Ben Simmons following a whirlwind romance. While both relationships weren't meant to be forever, the experiences helped clarify what the presenter wanted - and didn't want - from her next partner. In the weeks before dating footballer Ruben, Maya said: 'The next person I meet I want to marry and have kids with, so obviously I'm feeling fussy.' Our sources say her surprise connection with 28-year-old Ruben caught Maya by surprise - and his commitment early on in dating secured their fate. Pals claim they're now putting plans in place to move in together as their relationship goes from strength to strength. A source told The Sun: 'Maya is incredibly headstrong and confident. After everything she's been through, she knows her worth and won't settle for anything less. 'Her relationship with Ruben is totally different to when she was with Stormzy. She's described how they were babies when they met and his career was more established than Maya's. 'This time, she's come into the relationship on a level playing field as two hugely successful individuals. 'They've both reached their career goals and the world is their oyster, so they're now at a stage where they can focus more on their love lives. Maya Jama kisses footballer boyfriend on romantic holiday and shows off her stunning bikini body 'It's important to Maya that she can trust the person she's with and they are certain about what they want in their future. "She knows who she is now and is looking for someone on equal pegging to enjoy life with." Our insider added: 'Ruben made sure from the start that his intentions with Maya were clear. 'He knows he's struck gold and wants to make sure Maya knows how seriously he feels about her. 10 10 "Being honest and open about what he wants from their future was the secret weapon in securing a future with Maya. "Maya's work, home and friends are in London so she doesn't want to leave there entirely, but is considering going between there and Manchester." Ruben was previously linked to Love Island All Stars' Arabella Chi in the months before setting eyes on Maya Just like his relationships with pop singer April Ivy and actress Daniela Melchior, both from Portugal, their lifestyle differences drove them apart. While the women were happy with the spotlight, Ruben has always preferred a private life. After swapping numbers with Bristol-born Maya, he soon made clear he was looking for something serious away from the cameras. 'This was a real turning point for Maya.' our source added. 'She was impressed that he wasn't looking to gain from their popularity as a couple. He made her feel it was a genuine connection from the off. 'Even though they know their romance is bound to attract attention, they keep the details of their relationship strictly confidential, but he's been keen to post pictures of them together to let everyone know he's taken. 'He's obviously attracted to successful and powerful women. He loves how Maya lights up every room she's in and shines as an individual, but it was also important to him that they are a strong team together. "That was very attractive to Maya." Ruben's desire in a partner matches that of Maya who had a lightbulb moment following the end of her engagement to Australian basketballer Ben and the break-up of her five-year relationship with Stormzy the first time around. 'I refuse to dim myself down," she said at the time. It's a life lesson she has lived by, revealing: 'I'm such a lover, but I am a big leaver as well. 'I know what makes me happy and I know what I like — and this is no disrespect to anyone I've been in a relationship with, but if it's not that then I will leave it. 'My point I always try to make is that I am really, really happy and I have curated this lovely little life for myself and my friends. 'I only want you if you are going to add to that or make it better, otherwise I am not really on it.' 10 Maya's presenting career soared in 2023 when she landed the hosting job on Love Island, after years of being known as Stormzy's girlfriend. In the same year, Ruben made history with his Manchester City teammates when they won the Premier league, FA Cup, and Champions League within a week of each other. The rare feat was a career highlight for the Portuguese national player, who returned to training at City Football Academy this week after spending the summer with Maya. The smitten pair travelled to Italy's Amalfi Coast in a private jet where they sailed on a luxury yacht as they soaked up the sun. It was during this extended break when Maya and Ruben made their relationship official to fans by posting pictures of them together on social media for the first time. In her most recent Instagram post, Maya shared snaps from her holidays with Ruben and filming the latest series of Love Island, captioning it: "Work & play balancing." They've come a long way in the last few months, with Maya having reportedly met Dias's family. She's even started taking Portuguese lessons to impress her other half. A friend said: "It's the happiest we've ever seen Maya. Her career and relationship are both going from strength to strength and she deserves it all."
