"When a royal brand can't crack the board, it's likely an obituary for season 3," Eric Schiffer, who is the chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, told Newsweek of Meghan Markle's Netflix show. "Even with Chrissy Teigen and Tan France glitter-bombing the set, the series hit the pavement."

"Given that it's missed by a mile, where even hate-watchers stayed home, Season 3 is unlikely," Eric Schiffer told Newsweek of hopes for the future of Meghan Markle's Netflix show.

The second season of Meghan Markle's With Love, Meghan, failed to go viral. It wasn't as heavily mocked on social media as its predecessor, Eric Schiffer said, noting, "That influencer erosion and the lack of coverage for Season 2 was catastrophic and highlighted a litmus test for real demand which has fallen off a cliff into an abyss."

U.K.-based culture expert Nick Ede predicted Netflix will pull the plug on With Love, Meghan. "I doubt it will be renewed because Netflix is all about algorithms, it's all about viewers, it's all about touch points that create zeitgeisty moments. The first season did that," he said. "The second season was panned. The guests weren't particularly great, so that didn't elevate it. There wasn't particularly a PR push, apart from Meghan doing one interview. It felt like a side dish rather than a main dish."

While experts don't envision With Love, Meghan securing a third season, Eric Schiffer noted that Meghan Markle could score some success if she changes the series' format. "Can she turn it around? Of course," he said. "She's one big creative idea away from making it interesting. … They could go back and pitch Season 3 as something that would shock everyone and create a lot of buzz, but a ruthless read from a PR war room would be that the show's cozy authenticity didn't get traction, it failed bad. The lifestyle lane is unforgiving."

"Unless you either have some repeatable utility or can shock hardcore, then viewers are going to ghost you like an ex," Eric Schiffer continued of Meghan Markle's Netflix show. "You're competing with influencers and YouTube and minds that are willing to take those risks."
