The wait is over—Meghan Markle is returning to Netflix with With Love, Meghan Season 2, and the first official trailer is packed with charm, culinary delights, and star-studded appearances. Announced on August 12, the new season premieres August 26, giving fans an intimate glimpse into the Duchess of Sussex’s world.
Set to the upbeat tune of “Rockin’ Robin” by Bobby Day, the trailer showcases Meghan cooking, crafting, and bonding with friends—both new and familiar. Filmed once again in Montecito, the show’s breezy aesthetic mirrors its first season. However, Meghan previously revealed why she avoids filming at home.
“I wanted to protect that safe haven,” she told PEOPLE earlier this year. “We’re a close-knit family, and I love those moments—putting Lili down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together at the end of the day.” She added, *”Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family, and with a crew of 80-plus people, that’s a lot of people to have in your house!”*
Though Prince Harry and their children—Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4—don’t appear in the trailer, one beloved family member makes a cameo: their rescue beagle, Momma Mia. The Sussexes adopted her in 2022 after she was among 4,000 beagles saved from a Virginia breeding facility. She joins their other pets, including a black Labrador named Pula.
This season promises an exciting lineup of guests, including Chrissy Teigen, Tan France, Jay Shetty, José Andrés, and Samin Nosrat. Meghan’s longtime makeup artist Daniel Martin, who crafted her iconic wedding look in 2018, also returns.
Food remains a central theme, with Meghan revisiting her salt-baked fish recipe—a nod to Prince Archie’s vacation trout catch, featured in Season 1. A standout moment sees José Andrés, founder of World Central Kitchen, marveling at an unusual kitchen gadget. “Everybody should have one of those at home,” he quips.
Fans will also recognize Meghan’s famous thumbprint cookies, which she previously baked with Archie, Lilibet, and friends for The Drew Barrymore Show. “There are easy ways to show up lovingly,” Meghan says in the trailer while packing the treats into a gift box.
Humor shines in a playful exchange with Samin Nosrat, where Meghan jokes, “We don’t need to make a salad, let’s just go and eat cheese.” Nosrat laughs, replying, “You know that’s my life dream, right?”
The trailer closes with a heartfelt voiceover as Meghan and friends gather around a bonfire. “I love these moments of discovery and beauty, so let’s be curious together,” she reflects.
The Season 2 announcement follows news that Prince Harry and Meghan extended their Netflix partnership under Archewell Productions with a multi-year deal. This comes after The Sun reported their original $100 million contract wouldn’t renew in September—making this new chapter a significant milestone.
With its blend of warmth, celebrity cameos, and Meghan’s signature charm, With Love, Meghan Season 2 is set to be another hit. Mark your calendars for August 26—this is one royal affair you won’t want to miss.
