Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, hosts a lifestyle docuseries. The next episode has already been made and will air sometime in the fall.
The show, in which Meghan hosts dinner parties for friends and gives them advice on how to live a better life, was panned by reviewers but is currently No. 7 on the Netflix Top 10 chart.
There were eight half-hour shows in the first season, which was directed by Michael Steed. Mindy Kaling, chef Roy Choi, and Abigail Spencer, Meghan's former co-star on "Suits," were among the famous people who attended.
Archewell Productions, which is owned by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and The Intellectual Property Corporation, which is part of Sony Pictures Television, make "With Love, Meghan." Along with Chanel Pysnik of IPC, Aaron Saidman, Eli Holzman, Steed, and director Leah Hariton, Meghan is an executive producer.
In his review, Variety chief correspondent Daniel D'Addario called the show a "Montecito ego trip that is not worth taking." He said, "The show plays out like a forced march, one in which Meghan's guests must, as the price of getting to share an afternoon in a made-for-TV kitchen with her, praise her first."
D'Addario said Meghan's ideas were "canned" and said her style, which is "a clean and traditional-meets-modern mélange," hits the "limits of having to fill eight long episodes with only a certain number of new ideas." He went on to say, "'With Love, Meghan' is made with a lot of love, in the sense that the best love is the love a person has for herself."
