Meghan Markle’s Cooking Show vs. Suits: Shocking Netflix Rankings Revealed!

by

Meghan Markle has left an indelible impression on Netflix, thanks to her and Prince Harry’s hit docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” their cooking show “With Love, Meghan,” and her previous series “Suits.” This gives viewers plenty of ways to follow the Duke and Duchess of Sussex via a Netflix subscription. But how do these shows stack up in terms of popularity? Here’s an interesting comparison:

According to recent data, “Harry & Meghan” and “Suits,” her previous series, have both garnered significant attention on the streaming platform. However, it seems that “Harry & Meghan” has managed to surpass “Suits” in terms of viewership, making it the more popular choice among Netflix users.

Frankly speaking, though I wasn’t completely taken aback by the data, it still felt a bit surprising. After all, “Suits,” a well-known and lengthy drama, usually garners more viewers than the fresh cooking series, “With Love, Meghan.” Yet, the gap in their positions on Netflix’s What We Watched list was larger than I anticipated. The first season of “Suits” ranks 151st, while “With Love, Meghan” debuted at a much lower position, 383rd.

Let’s delve deeper into these numbers. Over the nine seasons of “Suits”, the initial four seasons have higher ratings compared to “With Love, Meghan”. Here’s how they rank:

This version maintains the original meaning while making it easier for readers to understand and follow.

  • No. 151 – Suits Season 1, 86 million hours viewed and 9.3 million views
  • No. 242 – Suits Season 2, 82.9 million hours viewed and 7.2 million views
  • No. 306– Suits Season 3, 72.2 million hours viewed and 6.2 million views
  • No. 378 – Suits Season 4, 61 million hours viewed and 5.3 million views
  • No. 383 – With Love, Meghan, 25.5 million hours viewed and 5.3 million views

From Season 5 to Season 9 of the television series “Suits,” all rank lower than a cooking show. Specifically, Season 5 is ranked 424th, Season 6 ranks 465th, Season 7 ranks 479th, Season 8 ranks 595th, and Season 9 ranks 623rd. It’s important to note that Meghan Markle departed the show following Season 7.

Netflix’s Top 5 TV Shows Of 2025 So Far

Based on Netflix’s engagement statistics for the first half of 2025, here are the most popular shows in descending order: “Adolescence”, followed by “Squid Game Season 2”, then “Squid Game Season 3”, “Zero Day”, and lastly, “Missing You”.

It’s quite striking to see that the fresh series, “With Love, Meghan,” has fewer viewers compared to “Suits,” a show that’s already off the air. Yet, given the circumstances, it’s not completely unexpected.

In recent years, there’s been a significant revival for TV series titled “Suits“, particularly in 2023 when it was at the height of its popularity on Netflix. Interestingly, long-standing and well-liked shows that seem to have run their course can still attract and expand audiences through streaming platforms as they continue to appeal to new viewers while old fans revisit the series. For example, shows like “The Office” (available with a Peacock subscription) and “Friends” (now available on HBO Max) have managed to maintain their popularity over time.

To clarify, it’s important to note that “With Love, Meghan” debuted later on Netflix compared to “Suits,” as the data in this report covers the period from January to June. “Suits” has been available on Netflix since 2023, giving it a longer run. On the other hand, the series starring Meghan Markle, now known as the Duchess of Sussex, was delayed due to the LA wildfires and didn’t premiere until March, which means “Suits” had a lead in terms of streaming time on Netflix.

It’s surprising to see these numbers given the significant public interest in the Royal Family and Meghan and Harry in particular. Despite this, it’s important to remember that enduring shows like theirs have been popular for a long time, and there’s a good reason for that – they hold the power to captivate audiences even on streaming platforms.
