Meet Netflix‘s Meghan 2.0.
The first trailer for the second season of With Love, Meghan returns the Duchess of Sussex to the kitchen and garden for another round of aspirational cozy cooking along with a bevy of friends (famous friends, naturally).
This time, however, the trailer portrays Meghan a bit differently than in the trailer for the first season — where Markle was shown expertly whipping up stunning creations while giving advice (“that’s what you want, you want that shape and texture…”) while enamored celebrities looked on (“This is probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life,” enthused Mindy Kaling).
Season two’s trailer (below) shows Meghan learning from experts and warmly appreciating the efforts of others. “Let’s get creative and learn something new,” she says, and then later: “I’m so glad you came and showed me how to do this.” In another beat, when mixing ingredients, she wonders aloud, “Is this working?” and later praises a guest: “This looks fantastic!” Also, when one expert says “everybody should have” a large and exotic-looking cooking accessory in their kitchen that an average person would never purchase, Markle looks skeptical, “You think so?” — see, one of us!
This season’s guests range from TV hosts to culinary stars to wellness influencers: Chrissy Teigen, Christina Tosi, Clare Smyth, Daniel Martin, David Chang, Heather Dorak, Jamie Kern Lima, Jay Shetty, José Andrés, Radhi Devlukia, Samin Nosrat and Tan France.
The trailer follows Netflix’s extending its partnership with Archewell Productions — Prince Harry and Meghan’s media company – with a multiyear, first-look deal for all of Archewell’s film and television projects.
The show’s official description: “Meghan returns with a fun and heartwarming new season, welcoming celebrity chefs, talented artists and beloved friends for hands-on adventures filled with laughter and discovery. From playful cooking challenges to DIY projects, Meghan and her guests explore bold flavors, experiment with new techniques and discover simple ways to add beauty to everyday life. It’s all about embracing playfulness over perfection and finding joy in creating together.”
The eight-episode second season premieres Aug. 28.
