Meghan Markle’s sparkling Netflix comeback could be short-lived despite inking a fresh multi-million-dollar agreement with the streaming platform.

Her reality series, With Love, Meghan, currently stands at 1/2 odds to face cancellation following two seasons, according to Pundit Arena, and after a special holiday episode designed to compete with Princess Kate’s yearly carol service, a third season renewal sits at 6/4.With her Netflix contract reportedly hanging in the balance, fresh betting odds suggest that Meghan could potentially pivot toward publishing and fashion ventures, with a tell-all memoir emerging as the most probable next move in her professional journey.

The series, which chronicles Meghan’s private life in California, launched with robust audience numbers but has encountered lukewarm critical reception since its sophomore season dropped.

Joe Lyons, representative for Pundit Arena, commented, “Following reports that ‘With Love, Meghan’ is under review by Netflix, the odds suggest we may have already seen the final season. At 1/2 to be cancelled after season two, its future looks uncertain, and attention is now shifting to what Meghan does next.

A memoir leads the market at 8/11, which would see Markle follow in the steps of her husband, Harry, who released his own book in 2023. Entering the world of fashion is another plausible avenue for Meghan, priced at 3/1.

“A return to acting also remains on the table for the Duchess of Sussex; she’s 6/1 to reappear on our TV screens as an actress.”

In 2020, the Sussexes allegedly inked a $100m agreement with Netflix following their departure from royal responsibilities, reports the Express

The arrangement resulted in several productions, including their documentary Harry & Meghan, a polo program, and most recently, Meghan’s culinary show, With Love, Meghan.

Nevertheless, the fresh contract extension ensures their continued partnership with Netflix moving forward, though an insider suggested the conditions disappointingly don’t match their initial lucrative agreement, raising concerns about what this signals for upcoming ventures.

A source familiar with Netflix previously revealed to the Express, “Harry and Meghan were paid a lot of money for their first contract with Netflix.

“We’re talking mega millions of dollars, and the only thing they produced that was a big success was their documentary where they slammed the royal family.

“Netflix basically had to give them a new contract because their old one had run its course, but the streaming service still needed content from them because they’d already committed so much cash to them.”
