Meghan Markle releases trailer for her Netflix lifestyle series ‘With Love, Meghan’
Meghan Markle is bringing fans into her world with her new Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”
The 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex took to her new Instagram account, which she debuted Jan. 1 with a captionless video of her running on the beach before writing “2025” in the sand with her finger, to share the first official trailer for the series.
“I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it,” she wrote in the caption while wishing her fans a fantastic new year.
“Beyond grateful for the support - and fun!” she added.
The two-minute trailer was set to The Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Do You Believe in Magic” and showed clips of Markle, the show’s host and executive producer, doing what she loves most.
“I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it,” she said in the trailer.
Markle can be seen cooking in the kitchen, picking out flowers, tending to a garden and collecting honey from a beehive as she hosts a flurry of friends, old and new, at a home in Montecito, California.
According to Realtor, Markle taped the series at an $8 million farmhouse located a few miles down the road from her and her husband Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex’s home.
In the trailer, the mother of two says she enjoys “surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.”
“We’re not in the pursuit of perfection, we’re in the pursuit of joy,” she said later in the trailer, adding that the show is about “connecting with friends … making new friends … and just learning.”
The series, which is set for a Jan. 15 premiere, will be eight episodes long, with each episode lasting approximately 30 minutes, according to People.
Some of the show’s guests include actress Mindy Kaling, Markle’s former “Suits” co-star Abigail Spencer and fashion designer Tracy Robbins — among others.
Famous chefs Roy Choi and Ramon Velazquez, as well as farm-to-table pioneer Alice Waters, will also make appearances on the show.
In the trailer’s description, Netflix described the show a series that “reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming” by blending practical how-to’s and candid conversations with friends, according to ABC News.
“Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected,” Netflix wrote in the description, according to the news outlet.
“She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same,” Netflix added.
This isn’t Markle’s first time partnering with Netflix, but it is her first solo hosting project for the platform.
Her two most recent projects included a five-part docuseries, “Polo,” released in December, and a 2022 documentary, “Harry & Meghan.”
Both projects were produced by Archewell Productions, the production company owned by Markle and her husband, Prince Harry.
“Harry & Meghan” nearly broke the internet when it debuted with more than 81.5 million viewing hours — quickly becoming Netflix’s most-watched documentary premiere, according to CNBC.
Markle was unable to recreate that success with “Polo,” however.
Nonetheless, her new series is centered around love, positivity and elevating the ordinary, and comes just as the Duchess of Sussex made her return to social media.
