<p id=”par-4_30″><em>To Di For Daily</em> podcast host and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield spokeon Sky News Australia about why the verdict on Meghan’s new show is a real headache for Netflix. </p>
<p id=”par-5_66″>According to Scholfield, “Netflix must be pulling their hair out right now thinking about all the money they invested in this pair [Sussexes]. And what’s the return on investment been? A lot of negative press and alienating themselves from relationships that maybe they could have had with the real working royals who are producing documentaries like Queen Camilla’s domestic violence documentaries and Prince William’s homeless documentaries.</p>
<p id=”par-6_15″>“I feel like they [Netflix] really made a mistake here and picked the wrong horse.”</p>

<p id=”par-9_52″>“Drawing on her years of home cooking and entertaining, she spends time with friends new and old as they make memories together — whether reminiscing about growing up in Los Angeles with chef Roy Choi or laughing at the prospect of tucking a fish into a blanket of salt with cherished girlfriends.”</p>

<p id=”par-10_31″>However, that’s a little misleading considering that the remaining episodes, which will be released sometime in the fall, were already filmed together with the episodes for the show’s first season. </p>
<p id=”par-11_67″>The <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14480873/Netflix-bosses-worried-reviews-Meghan-Markle-contract.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Daily Mail</a> reported that a Netflix insider confirmed: “I know they filmed the shows back-to-back so in theory there is no second season it’s like with lots of Netflix shows it is already in the bag at the same time as the first one. What this does is allow edits to be made to the show from feedback from press and Netflix viewers. It’s clever and cost-effective.” </p>
<p id=”par-12_38″>However, because the show has received such poor reviews the source reiterated that the series is “not a runaway success” and putting out another season does not mean that Harry and Meghan’s contract with Netflix will be renewed.</p>
