Meghan Markle’s Netflix show struggles to break into streamer’s top 300 rankings

The ratings have rolled in, and Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, didn't cut the streamer's top 300 most-watched shows of 2025. Netflix released its latest engagement report on July 18, 2025, ranking over 7,000 titles from the first half of 2025.

Markle's 8-part series premiered on March 4, 2025, offering a "how-to guide" for entertaining. Several guest stars joined the Suits alum in the show, including Mindy Kaling and Markle's longtime friend and Suits co-star, Abigail Spencer. A day after its release, she hopped on social media, per the New York Post, to share that With Love, Meghan reached Netflix's Top 10 list within 24 hours.

However, according to the streamer's latest engagement report, Meghan Markle's show only ranks 383, with just 5.3 million views between March and June 2025. According to the New York Post, it's an unprecedented number for a Netflix original that got a renewal, and not in a good way.

Despite the hype and its quick surge to Netflix's global top 10 in 24 hours, the latest figures indicate that viewers' interest in With Love, Meghan waned. Moreover, its Rotten Tomatoes score is no better, with only a 36% score from critics after 33 reviews and an even lower audience score at 33% from over 2,500 ratings.

With Love, Meghan tied in viewership with several other shows, including Peaky Blinders season 2 (2014), The InBESTigators season 1 (2019), Cobra Kai season 4 (2021), and more in terms of viewership in the first half of 2025.
