Meghan Markle’s Netflix show will return to our screens in just two weeks, and after the latest trailer dropped, we now have an idea of which Hollywood stars will appear. On Tuesday, Netflix released the trailer for the second season of the Duchess of Sussex’s show, With Love, Meghan, and revealed that it will air in two weeks’ time on August 26.
Among the celebrity guests joining the former Suits star during the eight episodes will be US model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen and Queer Eye star Tan France, as well as podcaster Jay Shetty and his cookbook author wife Radhi Devlukia. Chefs Samin Nosrat, Clare Smyth, Christina Tosi, Jose Andres, and David Chang, and Meghan’s close friends, make-up entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima, pilates instructor Heather Dorak, and makeup artist Daniel Martin, will also appear.
Meghan’s family, Prince Harry, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet, did not appear in the trailer.
The trailer, to the soundtrack of Bobby Day’s upbeat Rockin’ Robin, showed Meghan cooking, baking and crafting with her celebrity friends and saying: “I love the idea of just spending time together … and finding new ways to show people you care.”
The second season of With Love, Meghan was filmed around the same time as the first one, which flopped in rankings and ratings.
One review in The Guardian described it as a “gormless lifestyle filler” and “so pointless it might be the Sussexes’ last TV show”. The series has a 3.2 rating out of 10 on imdb.com.
Netflix said “Meghan draws on her years of home cooking, entertaining, and all-around people pampering” for the Montecito-based show.
The trailer showed Meghan embracing France, who told her after unwrapping a gift: “That is actually giving me goosebumps. That is so lovely.”
Shetty’s appearance will raise speculation that Meghan could be a possible future guest on his popular On Purpose mental health podcast.
Seemingly confronted with a basket of assorted flower sprinkles and dried fruit, Shetty is seen saying: “I have no idea where to start.”
Make-up entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima, who interviewed Meghan for her podcast and also appeared on the duchess’s Confessions Of A Female Founder series, also appears briefly in trailer in a segment filmed outside.
Teigen, who has a podcast called Self-Conscious and a cookware and baking brand, meanwhile, tells Meghan as they make tiny flower pendants “Oh my gosh I could do this everyday” and later adds: “Little things like this make me so happy.”
Meghan is also pictured taking part in a pottery throwing lesson with long-time friend Dorak.
Near the end of the one minute and 27 second trailer, Meghan said: “I love these moments of discovery and beauty. So let’s be curious together.”
