First peek into Meghan Markle’s new ‘relaunch’ Netflix show

Meghan has reportedly wrapped filming on her highly-anticipated new Netflix series – with new details about how it all panned out.

Meghan Markle’s next project is on the way.

The Duchess of Sussex reportedly wrapped filming her Netflix cooking and lifestyle show, reports Page Six.

“It all went well and it is in the can,” a Hollywood source told the Daily Beast on Wednesday.

PR consultant Mark Borkowski told the outlet that the forthcoming series “could be a relaunch to something new and interesting” for Meghan.

The former actor, 42, and her husband, Prince Harry, signed a deal with Netflix in 2020 that is set to expire at the end of 2025.

Earlier this year, Page Six exclusively reported that Meghan is trying to position herself as a lifestyle guru a la Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The publication reported at the time that the Suits alum’s new show, which she began filming around March, will focus on all things home, garden and food — in the same vein as her former blog, the Tig.

The couple’s first project on the streaming platform was their bombshell documentary, Harry & Meghan, which detailed their love story and why they left the royal family in 2020 to settle in California.

It quickly became one of the highest-streamed docuseries on Netflix when it was released in 2022.

Harry, 39, also released his own series, Heart of Invictus, which followed a group of competitors training for the 2022 Invictus Games, a sporting event that the prince founded for wounded service members.

Meghan has been busy this year trying to rebrand herself.

In March, she announced the launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.

“She’s been working on this for over a year, and it’s all the things that are close to her heart — all the things she’s passionate about,” a source told Page Six at the time.

A trademark application revealed that Meghan has big plans for her brand and intends on shilling a wide range of home goods, including edible treats like jellies, jams and spreads as well as tableware staples such as cutlery, table linens and drinkware. Cookbooks are also covered in the filing.

Several close pals have already been lucky enough to receive some treats from the line.

Chrissy Teigen, Kris Jenner and fashion designer Tracy Robbins have all posted videos of handmade jams that they have been gifted.

Since quitting their senior royal duties, Harry and Meghan have been involved in several ventures that have not always panned out.

They parted ways with Spotify in 2023, less than three years after agreeing to a $29 million deal.

A spokesman for Meghan did not reply to Page Six’s request for comment.
