Behold Netflix's Meghan 2.0 in the enthralling first trailer for Season 2 of "With Love, Meghan." This installment welcomes the Duchess of Sussex back into the heart of her kitchen and garden, embarking on another enchanting journey of cozy culinary delights amidst a glittering array of celebrated friends—friends who are famous, of course.
Yet, this trailer paints a subtly distinct portrait of Meghan compared to its predecessor. Recall Season 1's teaser, where Markle expertly crafted mesmerizing dishes while imparting wisdom ("That's the shape and texture you crave…") as adoring celebrities watched in awe ("This is undoubtedly one of the most glamorous moments of my life," gushed Mindy Kaling).
Conversely, Season 2's preview (featured below) showcases Meghan humbly learning from experts and warmly acknowledging the contributions of others. With a playful twinkle in her eye, she exclaims, "Let's unleash our creativity and master something fresh," followed by, "I'm thrilled you're here, teaching me this trick." As she blends ingredients, she ponders aloud, "Is this mix coming together?" and later praises a guest's effort, "This looks Absolutely fantastic!" Moreover, when an expert advocates for an extravagant, exotic kitchen gadget—one an everyday individual wouldn't dare purchase—Markle raises an eyebrow in skepticism, "You really think so?"—proving she's one of us!
This season boasts an eclectic mix of guests spanning TV hosts, culinary legends, and wellness gurus: Chrissy Teigen, Christina Tosi, Clare Smyth, Daniel Martin, David Chang, Heather Dorak, Jamie Kern Lima, Jay Shetty, José Andrés, Radhi Devlukia, Samin Nosrat, and Tan France.
This trailer follows Netflix's recent expansion of its partnership with Archewell Productions—Prince Harry and Meghan's media venture—via a multiyear, first-look deal encompassing all of Archewell's film and television endeavors.
Season 1 of "With Love, Meghan" amassed an impressive 5.3 million views and 25.5 million hours watched globally—a commendable feat, outperforming many lifestyle shows on Netflix last year.
The show's official synopsis captures its essence: "Meghan returns with a joyous and heartfelt new season, inviting renowned chefs, talented artists, and cherished friends for hands-on escapades filled with laughter and exploration. From lively cooking challenges to DIY projects, Meghan and her guests delve into bold flavors, experiment with innovative techniques, and uncover effortless ways to infuse everyday life with beauty. It's a celebration of embracing playfulness over perfection and finding delight in co-creation."
Produced by Archewell Productions and Sony Pictures Television's The Intellectual Property Corporation, the executive producers include Markle, Chanel Pysnik, Aaron Saidman, Eli Holzman, showrunner Leah Hariton, and director Michael Steed.
Mark your calendars for the highly anticipated premiere of the eight-episode second season on August 26.
