Meghan Markle Faces Tough Wake-Up Call After Netflix Setback
Meghan Markle is currently in the middle of negotiating a new deal with Netflix, but things aren't looking as glamorous as before. Her original multi-million dollar deal is about to expire in a few weeks, and insiders say the next contract may be worth much less.
The Big Blow: Her Show Didn't Perform Well
One major issue? Meghan’s cooking and lifestyle show, “With Love, Meghan,” didn’t perform well at all. It failed to even reach Netflix’s top 300 shows for the first half of the year. That’s a serious disappointment—especially when her old show, Suits, is still doing great on streaming platforms.
According to PR expert Edward Coram-James, this wasn't really surprising. He said the show only briefly made it to the top 10 because of the curiosity factor—people just wanted to see what Meghan was doing. But once they checked it out, they didn’t stay. Why? Because the content didn’t have enough depth or anything special to hold the audience’s attention.
What This Means for Meghan's Future
The PR expert warned that unless Season 2 of her show is dramatically improved, it will probably face the same disappointing results. Viewers need more than just a famous face—they want content that’s fresh, unique, and worth watching.
So what should Meghan do next?
Coram-James advised that instead of trying to become a major Netflix creator, Meghan should focus more on her lifestyle brand, As Ever. He believes it aligns better with her style, strengths, and what her fans really admire about her—like her fashion sense and values.
In Simple Terms:
-
Meghan’s current Netflix deal is ending soon, and her new offer might be much smaller.
-
Her recent show didn’t perform well—audiences didn’t stay interested.
-
Experts say she should shift her focus to her lifestyle brand, where she has a better chance to succeed.
