Rumors are swirling that Meghan Markle’s latest venture, *With Love Megan*, has become the latest casualty of Netflix’s very deliberate—and very public—refusal to promote it. No billboards, no buzz, no nothing. It’s almost as if the streaming giant is doing everything in its power to ensure this train wreck never leaves the station.
If you live in Los Angeles, you know billboards are a big deal. They’re everywhere—plastered on every major street, flaunting the next big movie, TV series, or reality show. But for Meghan? Not a peep. Zero. Zilch. Nada. It’s like Netflix is playing the world’s most lavish game of *Where’s Waldo*, and guess who’s been completely ghosted? Yep, you guessed it: Meghan Markle.
For context, Netflix spends millions of dollars plastering billboards across LA for its shows. *Bridgerton*, *Stranger Things*, even *The Crown* gets more love than Meghan’s doomed cooking show. But here’s Meghan, fresh off her role as a former royal turned Oprah’s favorite talk show guest, desperately trying to push her new career as a celebrity chef. And Netflix? They’re like, “No thanks, we’ll just focus on shows that actually get watched.”
This doesn’t seem like a random oversight. It’s almost as if Netflix is actively distancing itself from this project. Meghan Markle was supposed to be the big star of the deal, right? But instead of promoting her show the way they do for other, more successful projects, Netflix seems to have quietly hit the pause button.
Maybe Netflix took one look at Meghan’s Instagram chaos and decided they didn’t want to associate with her. And who can blame them? She’s been throwing up posts left and right, featuring everything from her overpriced lemons to her emotional support strawberries. That’s her promo strategy, folks: posting pictures of fruit while begging for attention. It’s truly the definition of “desperate times call for desperate measures.”
Sure, Netflix might not have wanted to go all out with a massive marketing push—we all know how those tend to work out. But not even a few billboards on Sunset Boulevard? Not even a trailer on their own platform? You know things are bad when Netflix doesn’t even care enough to try.
The fact that there’s been no marketing push at all is a huge red flag. Netflix can afford to promote shows with much less star power, so why the radio silence on Meghan’s show? You can’t help but wonder if Netflix knows the whole world is going to laugh in their faces if they try to sell this cooking show to the masses.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s desperate Instagram game continues to spiral. She’s posted more random food shots and candid moments than we’ve seen in a long time. It’s clear she’s trying to drum up some interest, but all that’s really happening is a growing sense of embarrassment. Posting selfies with massive strawberries and asking people to watch her show by showing off her fruit bowl? At this point, it’s less about cooking and more about trying to stay relevant in a world that’s long moved on from her.
Netflix, on the other hand, seems to have the popcorn ready. They’re sitting back and enjoying the chaos unfold, confident that once Meghan’s contract runs out, they can kiss the whole *With Love Megan* experiment goodbye. At least when they let this show die, they won’t be the ones holding the flaming bag of failure.
So, is Netflix doing us all a favor? It’s a bold move to refuse to promote something they’ve already sunk millions into. But in this case, it might just be the smartest decision they’ve made.
