Season two of With Love, Megan, starring Meghan Markle, is set to debut this fall, with the episodes already filmed, according to a representative for Netflix. The announcement has stirred conversation, particularly given the mixed reviews the first season received. Critics have drawn comparisons between Markle’s show and Pamela Anderson’s recent cooking series, Pamela’s Cooking with Love, which premiered in Canada just 11 days ago.

The striking similarities between the two shows have raised eyebrows. Both With Love, Megan and Pamela’s Cooking with Love feature bright, white kitchens, laid-back fashion, and a similar concept where the hosts invite guests over to cook together. The format also sees the hosts interacting with their guests in a relaxed and informal manner, sharing personal stories and recipes. In fact, some critics have even pointed out that Markle high-fives her guests in a manner reminiscent of Anderson’s show.

Despite these comparisons, Meghan Markle has expressed her enthusiasm for the project, explaining that cooking has always been a passion of hers. In an earlier interview, she shared that her happy place is the kitchen, where she enjoys preparing meals and experimenting with recipes. Her love for food and cooking shows dates back to her younger years, where she watched many shows in the genre. “I didn’t know I was going to get this opportunity, so when I got it, I grabbed it by the throat,” Markle remarked about her cooking show opportunity.

Pamela Anderson’s show, which debuted in 2023, came out a few months after Markle’s series was originally planned to air. However, Markle’s show was delayed due to the tragic LA wildfires, which shifted the release date. Many fans have noted that while the similarities between the two shows are hard to ignore, the timing of the two shows’ releases has fueled further comparisons.

In response to the critics, Pamela Anderson’s team has remained positive, viewing the similarities as a form of flattery. They have stated that they are proud to see their work resonate so strongly, noting that their show also shares a love of homegrown food and personal connections with guests.

The reaction to Markle’s show has not been limited to critics. Actress Mindy Kaling, who also appeared in Markle’s show, shared her thoughts on the reaction to the show and its comparison to Anderson’s. She admitted that whenever something related to Meghan Markle happens, it makes headlines, and she often finds herself in the middle of the media storm. Kaling mentioned that she loved her time working with Markle and that she found it fascinating to witness the buzz surrounding the project.

Megan Markle, who now goes by the title of the Duchess of Sussex, has been at the center of much media attention since her departure from the British royal family. The reception of her Netflix show seems to be following that trend, with the show garnering attention not just for its content, but for the controversy surrounding its similarities to Anderson’s show.

With season two set to premiere in the fall, the question remains whether With Love, Megan will carve out its own space in the lifestyle genre or if the comparisons to Pamela Anderson’s show will continue to overshadow its reception. Only time will tell.
