'Took the Cash and Ran': Reddit Reacts to Netflix Quietly Dropping Harry & Meghan

So, it's official — no more glossy cooking shows, no more royal whispers, no more slow-mo polo shots. Netflix won’t be renewing its £100 million deal with Harry and Meghan when it wraps in September. And I can’t say I’m shocked.

There’s been no grand announcement, no farewell montage — just a quiet, mutual "thanks, but we’re done" behind the scenes. But let’s be real: Netflix squeezed every last drop of drama out of the Sussexes with that first documentary. After that? Crickets.

From global headlines to barely-there buzz

Meghan’s lifestyle show With Love, Meghan didn’t even crack Netflix’s top 300. And Harry’s deeply personal polo series? Pulled in just 500,000 viewers — not exactly numbers that scream "renew us."

I think Netflix always knew this was a short-term win. They got the explosive revelations, the royal tea, the internet-breaking moments. But after that? They quietly moved on while the Sussex brand started to feel… well, a little overcooked.

Viewers Weigh In: "It Wasn’t a Sh*t Show, Just a Bit... Pinterest"

What I love is that the reactions are anything but unanimous. On Reddit, one user summed it up bluntly:

But others were more forgiving of Meghan’s culinary effort.

Another added:

"Depending on who the guests are, I may watch the next season." Relatable.

That said, some feedback was more pointed — and weirdly poetic.

"Someone on Twitter said it was like someone’s Pinterest board from 2015," one user commented, "and now I can’t stop thinking about that." Ouch. But also... kind of accurate. Even the more sympathetic voices agreed the show lacked originality, calling it "basic stuff that most people already know in terms of cooking or entertaining."

And then there’s the reality of the streaming game:

They’re right. In an era where TikTok chefs go viral daily and rural escapism has become a cliche, Meghan’s pastel-perfect show may have just come a bit too late to the dinner party.
