What Meghan Markle's Netflix Show Ranking Really Says About Its Future
That also means someone like Meghan Markle isn't immune to those highs and lows of the entertainment industry. On July 17, Netflix shared a revealing look at how its shows are doing in the first half of 2025 with its official Engagement Report, and it offered a realistic perspective into the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan.

Per the report, Meghan's show ranked No. 383 with 5.3 million views after its March 4 premiere. In comparison to the streamer's most-watched shows, Adolescence, with 145 million views, Squid Games Season 2, with 117 million views, and Squid Games Season 3, with 72 million views.
With Love, Meghan landed in 10th place in the Top 10 a week after its debut, but soon fell off the charts. The good news is that the Duchess of Sussex already has a confirmed Season 2 that will debut in the fall with guest Chrissy Teigen on the first episode. Still, the lifestyle show will have to better those numbers if Meghan's show wants to have a third season.
Netflix's Engagement Report came out of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild strikes for more transparency on how shows are doing on the streamers — and Meghan has a sobering look at where she needs to improve in the second season.
Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix, explained at the Fast Company Innovation Festival in New York City in September 2024 why he prefers the new model of transparency. 'Put the number out there so that talent can see it, so that agents can see it, so that the press can see it, and know what's a hit and what's a miss,' he said, per Deadline.
Even though Netflix has a partnership to distribute Meghan's As Ever products with her, her TV show will likely need to pick up a little more steam in the fall if she wants a renewal for Season 3. In tough economic times, Hollywood is always thinking about the financial bottom line.

Woman Says Friend Texts Her Fiancé Behind Her Back, Then Asks Him to Hang Out
"It's a mind game because nothing she's saying is overtly inappropriate, but I'm not getting a good gut feeling about her," the woman wroteNEED TO KNOW A woman and her fiancé are uncomfortable with their mutual friend's girlfriend messaging him privately The girlfriend's texts weren't flirty at first, but recently they've grown increasingly suggestive Though the fiancé is transparent with the woman, she can't shake the feeling of distrust towards the girlfriendA Reddit user is suspicious of another woman getting flirty with her fiancé, despite them all being friends. The 29-year-old woman opened up about the uncomfortable situation between her 30-year-old fiancé and his childhood friend's girlfriend in a post on Reddit. "I need to get this off my chest because it's been bothering me a lot and I don't know if I'm overreacting or trusting my gut," she begins. She explained that the two couples are in a group chat together, but the 27-year-old girlfriend continuously and consistently messages her fiancé privately, while making no effort to build a connection with her. In the past, the girlfriend's messages weren't "explicitly flirty" but rather random questions and comments that, in the poster's mind, would have been just as suited for the group chat. "She's extremely friendly to me and I like hanging out all together. Yet, If we're all supposed to be friends, why is she building a connection only with him privately but not me?" she questions. While the poster has been letting it slide, recently, the messages have taken a suggestive turn. On the fiancé's birthday, the girlfriend stayed up late so she could be "the first one to wish him a happy birthday." "Something about that just really upset me. It felt so intentional, like she wanted to insert herself in a way that made her feel close to him," the poster explains. At a separate time, the girlfriend also texted the woman's fiancé, saying she wanted "to hang out with him with or without her boyfriend." "That sentence keeps playing in my head," the woman writes. "Who says that to someone else's fiancé?" The poster notes that her partner has been very transparent and always shows her the messages and asks how to respond. While her fiancé is equally "uncomfortable" with the situation, he doesn't want to complicate the dynamic between the four of them – him, his fiancée, his friend and the girlfriend. Still, now he's set a "clear boundary:" whenever the girlfriend texts him, he'll send his reply in the group chat. But it's not about trusting her fiancé, the poster notes — it's about trusting the girlfriend. "I can't stop feeling disrespected and honestly, [on] high alert. It's a mind game because nothing she's saying is overtly inappropriate, but I'm not getting a good gut feeling about her," she writes. "She's seemingly happy in her relationship so why is she going to my fiancé for random things?"

Those in the comments agreed, noting that they were willing to give the girlfriend the benefit of the doubt until she asked to hang out alone with him. "I could see her sending him non-flirty texts about specific topics that are career related, but the part about wanting to hang out with just him and maybe her [boyfriend] — to the exclusion of you — is troubling," one wrote. "I'd be suspicious as well." Another suggested the girlfriend is "playing a long, low-stakes game" — establishing a connection with the fiancé should either one of their relationships end.
