Meghan Markle is shifting her focus to her As Ever lifestyle brand following confirmation that her Netflix programme will not return for a third series, with plans for a cookbook and homeware products set for release in 2026.
Sources indicated the Duchess of Sussex will continue to share cooking and crafting content through her social media channels, though in shorter formats than the television series allowed.
One insider described the show as “a lot of work” and said Meghan is now concentrating on expanding her commercial ventures. A cookbook is expected in early 2026, with candles, wine and additional homeware products to follow in the spring.
The lifestyle programme, titled ‘With Love, Meghan’, debuted in March and ran for two series plus a holiday special released in December. According to Netflix’s official engagement report, the show attracted 5.3 million views in the first half of 2025, ranking 383rd among all productions on the streaming platform.
Critical reception was mixed. The programme holds a 23 per cent rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes. Times columnist Hilary Rose described the show as “unfathomable,” while Daily Mail reviewer Annabel Fenwick Elliot awarded the festive special zero stars.
The Express offered a more favourable assessment, with Emily Ferguson praising the episode for its “handy tips” and “festive fun.”
Sources said conversations have taken place regarding potential holiday specials, though nothing is currently in development.
