With Love, Meghan premiered on Netflix just days ago, and the reviews aren’t exactly glowing – but the duchess clearly isn’t fazed.

Meghan’s new Netflix show may have premiered this week to fairly lacklustre reviews, but season two has already been confirmed.

With Love, Meghan is officially returning, with the Duchess of Sussex herself taking to Instagram herself to share the big news.

She posted an Instagram Story, in which she’s wearing a cap reading “Lettuce Romaine Calm”, and captioned it: “Lettuce romaine calm (or not!) because I’m thrilled to share that Season 2 of ‘With Love, Meghan’ is coming!”

Meghan also shared a video to her account featuring snippets of season one, which debuted on the streaming service on Tuesday.

“If you’re loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up on Season 2!” she wrote.

“Thanks for joining the party, and an endless thanks to the amazing team and crew who helped bring it all to life!”

Season two has already been filmed and is expected to premiere in the second half of the year.

Director Michael Steed has returned to helm the next instalment of the lifestyle and cooking show, which debuted this week at #6 on Netflix’s U.S. Top 10.

The eight-episode series was filmed in Montecito, California, the neighbourhood where Meghan and Prince Harry live with their two kids, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3 – although their actual home wasn’t used.

It marks the duchess’ first solo venture as part of her and Harry’s five-year multimillion-dollar Netflix deal, which is reportedly due to expire this year.

Unfortunately for Meghan, the series has been torn to shreds by critics, including US showbiz industry bible Variety, who described it as an “ego trip not worth taking”.

It also concluded that: “With Love, Meghan is made with a great deal of love — in the sense that the greatest love of all is the one that a person has for herself.”
