Is Meghan Markle’s Cookery Show Her Last Chance to Save Netflix Deal?
Meghan Markle’s recent documentary series, POLO, executive produced alongside Prince Harry, has received some tough criticism and minimal promotion from Netflix. Critics have described the show as “tedious” and “tacky.” With their $100 million Netflix deal set to end in 2025, all eyes are now on Meghan’s upcoming cookery show and her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
According to an insider, this new project is seen as a “make or break” opportunity for the couple. The insider mentioned that Netflix is feeling the pressure, stating, “People say Netflix are exhausted. It’s so much work with her and, bluntly, the ‘deliverable’ does not seem to be worth it.” Another source added, “Her show will have to be an enormous hit to turn around their deal and their reputations in this town.”
Meghan’s show is expected to showcase her sophisticated style, but it may face some tough competition from Joanna Gaines’ popular cookery series. This comparison could pose a challenge for Meghan as she looks to make a lasting impact with her upcoming project.
