Struggling Netflix reality series reportedly canceled after 2 seasons

Netflix recently announced its first two cancellations of the year, with Western drama series The Abandons and surreal comedy The Vince Staples Show ending after one and two seasons respectively. However, there's another cancellation that's seemingly unofficial at the moment, but reports suggest a once promising reality series might not make it to season 3.

Unfortunately, not all of Netflix's reality shows can be as lucky as the likes of Love is Blind and Selling Sunset, which are each entering or approaching their tenth seasons. Even Queer Eye, which ended in controversy after 10 seasons, enjoyed a long run. But as some reports suggest, Meghan Markle's lifestyle series With Love, Meghan will end after only two short seasons.

With Love, Meghan reportedly canceled by Netflix

According to Page Six, which spoke with sources close to the show, Netflix canceled With Love, Meghan and won't be bringing back the series for a third season. Apparently, a full collection of new episodes isn't in the cards, but there have reportedly been conversations about Meghan, Duchess of Sussex bringing the series back to host holiday specials or other one-offs.

With Love, Meghan has struggled with both critics and viewers since its premiere in March 2025. Reviews weren't particularly kind to the royal's brand of lifestyle programming, and viewers seemingly agreed and didn't show up to tune in for the show's total of 16 episodes (plus one Christmas special). In her defense, reality shows with a lifestyle slant are hard to launch, whether you're married to a prince or not.

When season 2 dropped in August 2025, the series didn't even chart on Netflix's top 10 most-watched shows list. That's generally a sign that a show isn't performing well on the streamer and likely won't be back for more episodes. Deadline revealed that season 2 was only watched 2 million times throughout the last four months of 2025. For those who don't know how ratings go, those aren't good numbers.

You can't compare With Love, Meghan to the likes of Stranger Things or even Emily in Paris because popular scripted series will generally always outperform unscripted content on Netflix. But compared to other reality and unscripted originals on the platform, Markle's show paces far behind many shows that people are actually watching and enjoying, and that's not meant as shade.

It's honestly a shame because streaming might not have been the correct platform to launch With Love, Meghan. Meghan and Harry have an overall deal with Netflix that was extended last summer, but Markle's lifestyle series likely would have had better luck on cable, like the Magnolia Network, or perhaps on YouTube. Sadly, the show's potential wasn't realized on Netflix.
