Nomination Announcement
The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards announced on Tuesday that the Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan is nominated for Outstanding Lifestyle Series. The nomination places the show among four other contenders and will be decided at the ceremony scheduled for Friday, October 30.
Series Background & Future Format
Premiering on Netflix in March 2025, the first season follows Meghan Markle as she hosts friends and shares her approach to cooking, entertaining, and everyday living. Guest appearances have included Mindy Kaling, Chrissy Teigen, Tan France, Jay Shetty and chef Roy Choi, as well as Markle’s mother Doria and pilates instructor Heather Dorak. A second season filmed back-to-back premiered in August 2025, followed by a holiday special in November 2025. In March, a spokesperson for the Sussexes told Variety that “With Love, Meghan will continue as seasonal specials,” indicating the series will shift from a full-season model to occasional episodes rather than a third-season renewal.
Category Competition
The show competes with four other programs: A Different Breed (dog-sports series), George to the Rescue (home-renovation), The Motherhood (Hallmark reality hosted by Connie Britton), and The Wizard of Paws (prosthetic-limb maker for animals).
