Meghan Markle returns to the world of podcast, but why was her premiere delayed?
Meghan Markle is getting ready to return to the world of Podcast, which was recently confirmed, although her premiere was delayed due to the devastating fires in Los Angeles.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, had signed an innovative deal with Spotify in 2020, worth $ 20 million, with the aim of creating ‘uplifting’ projects. Her first Podcast, Archetypes, released in August 2022 and made sense, reaching the top of the charts in six countries and winning the audience award. Last year, it was announced that Meghan would return with a new series of Podcast, this time under the auspices of Lemonada Media, a dynamic and recognized audio company.
A few weeks ago, Lemonada gave some indications that Meghan was preparing to release a second season of Archetypes on her platform.
They uploaded a series of images on Instagram, where Meghan’s Podcast logo appeared along with the words “New Year, New Episodes”. In the post, the company said: “We’re back! With new episodes from Fail Better, Boneheads, Pop Culture Debate Club and much more this week. “
The followers were thrilled and began to ask if the new episodes of Archetypes were already ready. One commented “Oh my God! Will Meghan Markle’s podcast this week be released? “, While others wrote” I’m looking forward to the new episode! ” And “I expect how and how the new Meghan podcasts.”
However, in the end no new episode appeared. As mentioned by Hello! Magazine, the delay is due to the Duchess’s desire to focus on the needs of people affected by fires in California, her home country.
If you are wondering what Meghan’s new podcast will include, it remains unclear whether it will be a new series of archetypes episodes or launch something completely different with Lemonada. Perhaps the new podcast is related to its Netflix, With Love, Meghan, or focusing on promoting its new name, American Riviera Orchard. In fact, it is rumored that Meghan has planned to host the “very high profile guest profile” on the podcast.
Archetypes presented interviews with great guests, such as Mariah Carey and Serena Williams, and touched issues ranging from the battle against stereotypes (such as the “stupid blonde” with Paris Hilton), to the “doubleness of Diva” (with Mariah Carey). However, in June 2023, it was the end of the deal between Sussex and Spotify. The couple issued a statement saying that “they were mutually agreed to leave and are proud of the series they created”, but there were also comments from Spotify officials who described the couple as “scammers” and “lazy”. Early end of the agreement raised concern about their future in Hollywood and their $ 100 million Netflix agreement.
However, it didn’t take long to find a new “home” the Archetypes, this time with Lemonada, a women’s company known for her work with actors such as Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Sarah Silverman. In an interview with Variety last February, Meghan expressed her pride in working with the company and said her upcoming podcast would be “dynamic” and full of surprises.

Jessica Cordova Kramer, co -founded by Lemonada, expressed her joy for this collaboration, saying it was their honor to bring Archetypes to a wider audience and praised Meghan for her talent as hostess and creator. He added that “Meghan is unique in its kind and we look forward to creating a new series that will have a real impact.” Co -founder Stephanie Wittels Wachs added that they had a strong connection to Meghan and her team immediately.
But since then, we haven’t learned much more about Archetypes. According to sources, the series “frozen” and the premiere has gone back to 2025, as there were concerns about possible conflicts between Meghan’s new series on Netflix and her work on podcasting
