Season 2 of With Love, Meghan is right around the corner! It was announced on Aug. 11 that the second season of Meghan Markle's lifestyle series is set to premiere later this month. The Netflix show, produced by the Duchess of Sussex, was renewed for a second season just three days after it debuted this past March. In the renewal announcement, the streamer revealed that Season 2 had already completed filming.
According to the streamer, Meghan in new "fun and heartwarming new season" will be "welcoming celebrity chefs, talented artists, and beloved friends for hands-on adventures filled with laughter and discovery. From playful cooking challenges to DIY projects, Meghan and her guests explore bold flavors, experiment with new techniques, and discover simple ways to add beauty to everyday life. It's all about embracing playfulness over perfection and finding joy in creating together."
The Duchess of Sussex revealed in April that Season 2 would feature an appearance by renowned chef José Andrés. "José Andrés is going to be on Season 2. We love José so much," Meghan shared at the TIME100 summit in New York City. "So I think my wish list has been, I've been fortunate to have the people that I want on the show." The As ever founder noted that they have a "great, great lineup."
Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, Alice Waters, Tracy Robbins, Abigail Spencer, Vicky Tsai, Delfina Blaquier and Daniel Martin were among Meghan's guests in Season 1 of With Love, Meghan. During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in March, the Duchess said, "What was I think for me really fun about doing the series is I could have some of my older friendships that I've had since middle school even that are still in my life and I think at the end of the day you just really want to be able to show up with those people and equally meet people exactly where you are today so Mindy's a great example of that or some of the other guests that came on that I hadn't had close bonds with I knew a little bit of and then you just get to play and you're in the kitchen playing and making mistakes and having fun together and I think that's what I'm hoping translates."
It was announced on Monday that Meghan and Prince Harry's production company, Archewell Productions, has extended its creative partnership with Netflix with a multi-year, first look deal for all its film and television projects. In a statement, the Duchess of Sussex said, "We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand. My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision.“
