The wait is finally over! Meghan Markle has finally given fans a much-anticipated first glimpse into season two of her Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan. The Duchess of Sussex released the trailer on Tuesday, August 12, revealing not just the premiere date – Tuesday, August 26 – but also a star-studded guest lineup.
Taking to Instagram, Markle shared the exciting news with the caption, 'The best moments are made to be shared ✨ With Love, Meghan returns August 26th on @netflix.' While season one charmed us with appearances from the brilliant Mindy Kaling, makeup maestro Daniel Martin, and culinary legends Roy Choi and Alice Waters, season two is stepping things up in the best possible way. The sophomore season's roster includes the wonderfully candid Chrissy Teigen, style guru Tan France, and some of the most celebrated names in the culinary world including José Andrés, David Chang, Samin Nosrat, Christina Tosi, and Clare Smyth.
But it's not just about the food and edible flowers – though let's be real, that's a major draw. The season also welcomes cultural influencers Jay Shetty and Radhi Devlukia, plus Markle's close friend Heather Dorak, founder of Pilates Platinum. We'll also see the return of Daniel Martin, her longtime friend and makeup artist, alongside IT Cosmetics founder, Jamie Kern Lima, who hosted Markle for her first podcast guest appearance earlier this year.

'I've been fortunate to have the people that I want on the show,' the Suits star shared at April's TIME100 Summit, and that genuine excitement is palpable. 'I've been really lucky. We have a great, great lineup.'
The trailer itself is pure joy, set to the upbeat 'Rockin' Robin' by Bobby Day. We see Markle in her element – cooking, crafting, and creating. 'I could do this every day,' Teigen remarks at one point.
'Let's get creative and learn something new,' Markle says in voiceover, perfectly capturing the spirit of what makes this show special.
Perhaps the most endearing moment of the trailer, however, comes when Markle playfully reveals, 'You know who doesn't like lobster? My husband.' Chef Andrés' response is perfect: 'And you married him anyway?'
While the show wasn't filmed at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's actual Montecito home, due to security concerns, Markle revealed to PEOPLE that the couple's children have played a special part in the production.
'Archie did the [filming clapboard]! Sweet moments,' she shared. 'They would also come with my husband and visit me on set. I loved that my children were able to watch me working and see the balance of that, and understand what Mama does and is working to create and share. It was really special because up until then, they hadn’t seen me at work.'
With Love, Meghan season two will be released on Netflix on August 26.
