Meghan Markle expresses concern over her struggling Netflix job prospects: 'I'm done'
In the world of streaming entertainment, success can be elusive, even for high-profile figures like Meghan Markle. Her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, has failed to make a significant impact, according to recent reports.
Despite assurances of a major success, the show has not managed to break into the top 300 most-watched shows on Netflix. According to Netflix's Engagement Report released in July 2025, the show ranked at number 383 with 5.3 million global views[1][3]. While this viewership number places it in approximately the top 6% of all Netflix shows, it was not enough to push it into higher tiers of popularity amid thousands of competing titles[1].
Meghan Markle, being an ex-actress, understands the brutal showbiz industry. However, the low ranking of her show has reportedly left her questioning everything[2]. An insider revealed that she is "seriously freaking out" about the potential end of her Netflix career[2].
Prince Harry, on the other hand, is trying to reassure Meghan, saying it's just a setback and they're still relevant[1]. The couple's friendships, according to Meghan, won't change the fact that the numbers don't lie regarding her show's performance[1].
Meghan Markle invested a large amount into the production of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, and brought in top talent[4]. Despite the initial low ratings, she remains hopeful for a third season[3].
The media has been abuzz with speculation about Meghan's concern over the show's success, suggesting that its underperformance matters to her career in entertainment[2]. Nevertheless, the show's moderate viewership numbers and strong competition within Netflix's vast library are likely the main reasons for its failure to break into the top 300[1][3].
