It received a “toe-curling” one-star review in the Guardian, was written off as “smug, syrupy and endlessly spoofable” in the Times and denounced as “an exercise in narcissism” in the Telegraph.
But according to Netflix, “there’s more joy to be shared”.
Three days after With Love, Meghan premiered and was lampooned by critics and audiences alike, the Duchess of Sussex she has announced the show will be back for a second season.
In a post on Instagram, Meghan posted a video of herself dancing and wearing a baseball cap with “lettuce romaine calm” written on it, pulled over her eyes.
She captioned the post: “Lettuce romaine calm … or not (!) because I’m thrilled to share that season 2 of ‘With Love, Meghan’ is coming!”
In season one of the eight-part series, which became available to stream last Tuesday, Meghan shared her personal tips on everything from making jam to hosting garden parties.
It has been given a “popcornmeter rating” – denoting the percentage of users who rated the series 3.5 stars or higher – of just 18% by audiences on the review site Rotten Tomatoes.
According to an article on Netflix, which describes the show as an opportunity to find out Meghan’s “personal tips and tricks” for how to add “more fun and thoughtfulness to the everyday”, the second season has already completed filming. It is not yet clear when it will be broadcast.
Meghan’s initial Instagram story was followed up by another post showing her audibly frying, chopping, pouring liquids, cutting plants and breaking eggs, over which Meghan whispers: “Oh, do you hear that?”
The caption reads: “Oh, how I love ASMR! [If you’re loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up on Season 2! Thanks for joining the party, and an endless thanks to the amazing team and crew who helped bring it all to life! @netflix”.
ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, is a sensory experience some people have to sounds, which usually starts with a tingling sensation in the scalp.
