Meghan Markle’s upcoming cooking show. Rumor has it this show might be the Sussexes’ last chance to salvage their Netflix deal, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
According to insiders, Meghan’s cooking show, slated for release in 2025, is being compared to the marketing disaster that is Disney’s Snow White remake. Like Snow White, the cooking show keeps getting delayed and is already being scrutinized.
This pressure follows the poor reception of Harry and Meghan’s previous Netflix projects. While their explosive Harry & Meghan documentary broke streaming records, follow-up efforts like Live to Lead, Heart of Invictus, and Polo failed to attract significant viewership or critical acclaim.
A source claims Meghan is panicking after Polo was described as “flat, plodding, and really rather boring.” The show didn’t even make Netflix’s Top 10—a tough spot to miss since Netflix tends to prioritize its own productions on that list.
Insiders reveal Meghan’s cooking show might resemble a modern Martha Stewart program. Meghan often shared recipes on her blog The Tig, so this project could feel like a natural return to her roots. However, critics doubt whether the Duchess can pull off such an endeavor convincingly.
A PR expert suggests that if Meghan succeeds, it could mark a massive turnaround and silence her critics. But failure? That could spell the end of the Sussexes’ Hollywood aspirations.
This project’s outcome is crucial for the couple, who reportedly rely on their $100 million Netflix deal to sustain their lavish lifestyle. After their Spotify partnership ended in 2023, losing Netflix would be a devastating blow.
Some believe the cooking show might feature appearances by Harry and Meghan’s children, Archie and Lilibet, as a way to draw in viewers. While Harry has been protective of his children’s privacy, the Sussexes may feel they have no other option but to include them in the show to boost its appeal.
Critics argue that this move could backfire, further damaging their public image and raising questions about their authenticity.
