With Love, Meghan is shaping up to be Netflix’s most universally rejected project to date. It’s being called the worst marketing campaign in Netflix’s history, and it’s already impacting the legacy of CEO Greg Peters. But that’s not all—this debacle is also tarnishing Netflix’s public image, leading to a noticeable drop in subscribers. People are leaving in droves, and many are considering canceling their subscriptions altogether.
Now, let’s talk about Greg Peters. He’s a CEO with a good head on his shoulders, and he’s been fighting an uphill battle against Netflix’s board of directors. Peters has been pushing for significant changes to *With Love, Meghan* and has even been working to prevent a contract renewal with Meghan Markle. Despite his efforts, the majority of the board still wants her on board, though they’re growing increasingly critical of her behavior and the show’s production quality.
Here’s where things get juicy. Meghan Markle has reportedly lashed out at Greg Peters, both behind the scenes and in public. The tension between them has reached a boiling point, especially after Peters convinced the board to ban Meghan from the test screening room for the latest episode. On top of that, he’s ordered significant edits to the show, including cutting extra footage and completely overhauling the ending.
One of the most controversial changes was the removal of a key scene featuring Meghan and Mindy Kaling, along with several celebrity cameos. Test screeners labeled the scene as “inauthentic” and “cringeworthy,” calling it a deal-breaker for the show. Meghan was reportedly furious and demanded that Peters reverse his decision, but he’s standing his ground.
The drama doesn’t stop there. During a remote meeting with Netflix executives, Meghan allegedly shouted at Peters and even name-called him. Peters responded by warning her that if her attitude continues, the board may cut back even further on the show’s marketing budget and delete more footage to salvage Netflix’s image.
But Meghan isn’t backing down. She’s now attempting to build a legal case against Netflix, arguing that her contract prohibits any alterations to the series after post-production is complete. However, this argument may not hold water, as Meghan herself demanded re-edits to the series weeks ago, which technically reopened the door for further changes.
The fallout from this mess is already evident. Meghan’s press tour for *With Love, Meghan* is essentially dead on arrival, with very few interviews lined up. Netflix even canceled a major interview with *Variety*, further limiting the show’s promotion.
Originally slated for a mid-January release, *With Love, Meghan* has already been delayed once and is now set to premiere on March 4th. But even that date is looking shaky. Some board members have proposed delaying the show until Easter, though the majority voted to stick with the March release.
To make matters worse, Peters has canceled the second major trailer for the show, which was supposed to drop this week. Netflix is clearly cutting its losses, knowing that *With Love, Meghan* is a disaster waiting to happen.
And let’s not forget the recent price hikes for Netflix subscriptions. Combined with the Meghan Markle drama, it’s no wonder subscribers are jumping ship.
So, what’s next for Netflix? It’s clear that the tide is turning within the company. Board members are slowly waking up to the reality of Meghan Markle’s negative impact, and Greg Peters is leading the charge to clean up the mess.
As for *With Love, Meghan*, it’s shaping up to be another unseen project, much like Meghan’s previous Netflix flop, *Polo*. The general public simply doesn’t care, and Netflix is paying the price.
