Meghan Markle wil make her TV comeback with her Netflix docuseries centred around her new lifestyle brand in a matter of months.

The previously announced show which focuses on ‘cooking, gardening and entertaining’ will land on the streamer in ‘early 2025.’

It will also coincide with the much-anticipated launch of her Gwyneth Paltrow Goop-style wellness brand American Riviera Orchard.

The Duchess, 43, has kept a low profile since her first Netflix project about her life with Prince Harry, Harry & Meghan, was released.

However, the Suits actor’s new show is part of her return to the public eye, according to a source.

They told Page Six: ‘As far as Meghan being quiet, she’s been in the background working on her entrepreneurial efforts.

‘Both the Netflix project and her brand will come out within the same timeline in the New Year.

‘It’s going to be a good year for Meghan specifically, she’s spent the majority of the year doing work behind the scenes to launch a project in the first few months of 2025.’

The Netflix show will be an extension of American Riviera Orchard, which will sell a wide range of home goods, including edible treats like jellies, jams and spreads and tableware staples such as cutlery, table linens and drinkware.

A source previously said: ‘She’s been working on this for over a year and it’s all the things that are close to her heart — all the things she’s passionate about.’

Meghan’s Netflix show form part of lucrative deal reportedly worth £112,000,000 she agreed to along with Prince Harry with the streamer in 2020.

After signing on the dotted line, the Royal couple announced their intention to produce documentaries, films and children’s TV programmes.

Harry and Meghan said that they wanted to create content that ‘informs but also gives hope’.

To date, they have released three docuseries: Harry & Meghan, Heart of Invictus, about Prince Harry’s Invictus Games, and Live to Lead, highlighting inspiring world leaders.

Their partnership has proved more fruitful than their $25million (£18m) deal with Spotify -which ended after three years.

Meghan had hosted only one series as part of the deal – the podcast Archetypes, which ran for 12 episodes from August 2022.

It saw her chat to celebrities, historians and experts about the history of stereotypes levelled against women.

Tennis star Serena Williams, singer Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton and actors Mindy Kaling and Constance Wu were among the guests.

Metro has contacted Netflix for comment.
