An insider has claimed the decision to delay Meghan Markle’s show would be “ultimately down to Netflix”.
Reports infer Meghan Markle was not behind the decision to delay her Netflix show ‘With Love, Meghan’, as an insider has claimed the option to delay Meghan’s upcoming series would be “ultimately down to Netflix“.
A Hollywood executive told news outlet, The Daily Beast, that Meghan and Harry’s production company Archewell has “zero influence” on scheduling.
The Hollywood insider explained: “Netflix write the rules. It’s their world, we just get to play in it.”
It comes as the cooking and gardening eight-part series, ‘With Love, Meghan’, was set to drop this week on January 15 but will now be delayed until March 4 because of the sensitivity surrounding the horrific wildfires in Los Angeles which have now claimed the lives of 24 people.
Netflix issued a statement from Meghan Markle regarding her upcoming show, which read: “I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California.”
After Meghan and Harry faced criticism about the timing of the show coupled with the sensitivity of the on-going situation, it has now officially been postponed.
The couple journeyed to a volunteer shelter in Pasadena in California on January 10 to meet the city’s mayor, Victor Gordo, and emergency workers tackling the Eaton Fire. Here they helped the team and were seen on hand serving meals to people who had fled their homes and were forced to evacuate.
