Meghan Markle just hit a rough patch with her streaming partner, Netflix. As the streaming giant gears up to open its exclusive shop, the spotlight shines on mega-hits like Stranger Things, Squid Game, and Bridgerton—not on Meghan’s content. Ouch! It seems like the royal star’s recent projects haven’t captured the viewership Netflix was hoping for.
Netflix’s decision to focus its new shop on only its most successful shows sends a pretty clear message. Merchandise opportunities and promotional efforts will center around the series that have truly captured audiences worldwide. Unfortunately, Meghan Markle’s productions didn’t make the cut. It’s tough out there, even for duchesses! Maybe it’s time for Meghan to binge-watch some Squid Game for inspiration, or better yet, try her hand at supernatural mysteries—there’s always room on the Upside Down!
What’s Next for Meghan?
This latest move from Netflix raises questions about the future of Meghan’s partnership with the platform. With the streaming wars hotter than ever, only the most popular shows get top billing. Don’t count Meghan out just yet, though; Hollywood loves a comeback story!
