What's Happening?
Meghan Markle's Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan' has encountered significant viewership challenges with its second season. The series failed to rank in Netflix's top 10, garnering fewer than 1.11 million views in its first two days. This follows a similar performance in the first season, which ranked 383rd with just 5.3 million views. Critics have described the show as lacking warmth, relatability, and substance, contributing to its poor reception.
Why It's Important?
The viewership struggles of 'With Love, Meghan' highlight the challenges faced by high-profile projects in maintaining audience interest. The series' performance may impact Netflix's future decisions regarding content partnerships with high-profile figures like Meghan Markle. Additionally, the show's reception could influence the Sussexes' media strategy and their ability to leverage their brand in entertainment.
What's Next?
Archewell Productions announced that the second season of 'With Love, Meghan' will premiere later this month, with a holiday special airing in December. Netflix's decision to renew the series despite low viewership suggests a strategic interest in maintaining the partnership, though future projects may be subject to more stringent performance evaluations.
