<p id=”par-1_37″>2025 started off with two major announcements from <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/meghan-markle/?swcfpc=1″>Meghan Markle</a>. The first is that she is back on Instagram, and the second is that the duchess’ long-awaited lifestyle show was about to hit Netflix on January 15.</p>
<p id=”par-2_65″>Of course, the TV show announcement came just before massive wildfires engulfed thousands of homes in California, and Meghan and Prince Harry were on the ground to help hand out supplies as people returned to their devastated towns. Ultimately, Meghan chose to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/industry-insider-praises-meghan-markle-delaying-netflix-show.html/”>postpone the release date</a> of her new show. Now, one PR expert is saying it could help Meghan in a number of ways.</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-pr-expert-says-meghan-markle-s-decision-to-postpone-her-show-could-help-her”>PR expert says Meghan Markle’s decision to postpone her show could help her</h2>
<p id=”par-3_58″>Meghan chose to postpone her show amid the raging wildfires, likely because it didn’t feel appropriate to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/meghan-markle-netflix-series-pushed-back-timing-worse.html/”>premiere a joyous lifestyle show</a> amid the natural disaster that was hurting people so close to home. Meghan released a statement saying she was “thankful” that Netflix was willing to delay the release. The show will now premiere on March 4.</p>
<p id=”par-4_67″>“Delaying the show allows her to avoid potential backlash and demonstrates respect for the affected communities,” PR expert Mayah Riaz told Mirror, according to <a href=”Delaying%20the%20show%20allows%20her%20to%20avoid%20potential%20backlash%20and%20demonstrates%20respect%20for%20the%20affected%20communities.%20%20%22This%20brief%20postponement%20is%20unlikely%20to%20diminish%20audience%20interest.%20In%20fact,%20it%20may%20build%20anticipation%20and%20provide%20additional%20time%20for%20marketing%20efforts”>Express</a>. “This brief postponement is unlikely to diminish audience interest. In fact, it may build anticipation and provide additional time for marketing efforts.” Riaz suggested that even more people could tune into Meghan’s show because they’re thankful that she chose to delay it.</p>
<p id=”par-5_29″>“Meghan hasn’t just delayed the premiere, but she and Harry have been actively involved in relief efforts,” Riaz continued. “This has generated media coverage, indirectly benefiting the show’s promotion.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_55″>Of course, it’s important to note that Meghan most likely did not delay the show with any intention of benefitting for herself. She delayed it because she felt it wasn’t right to premiere something so happy in such difficult times. The promotion this might bring to the show is simply a byproduct of the delay.</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-meghan-markle-s-new-show-blends-food-and-lifestyle”>Meghan Markle’s new show blends food and lifestyle</h2>
<p id=”par-7_52″>Meghan’s lifestyle show has been in the works for quite some time. In the show’s trailer, she spends time with friends like Mindy Kaling and enjoys the company of others while cooking some of her favorite dishes. She can also be seen walking through her garden, picking various produce for her dishes.</p>
<p id=”par-8_40″>It’s hard to say how Meghan’s show will go over with viewers, but Meghan is no stranger to the lifestyle space. The duchess previously ran a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/meghan-markle-the-tig-meaning.html/”>website called The Tig</a>, which showcased her food, travel, fashion, and other lifestyle areas.</p>
