Chrissy Teigen is set to appear in the second season of Meghan Markle’s Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. This exciting news was confirmed by PEOPLE after the Daily Mail first reported it. The new season of the lifestyle show is scheduled to premiere this fall.
Teigen is widely known as a model, cookbook author, and host of the podcast Self-Conscious. She will join Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, who describes the series as a heartfelt “love letter” to the things she’s most passionate about.
Earlier this year, Teigen was one of the first people to receive a jar of jam from Meghan’s lifestyle brand, originally called American Riviera Orchard. Teigen raved about the jam, calling it “might have been one of the best bites we’ve had all year.” The brand was later renamed As Ever, and its first collection of food products sold out on the very day it launched.
Season 2 has already finished filming and promises to bring in a fresh group of Meghan’s friends and collaborators. Michael Steed, who directed the first season, is returning to direct again. Meghan shared with PEOPLE that the show is about “doing what you can do, and doing it with love.”
Among the new guests is Chef José Andrés, founder of World Central Kitchen, who Meghan praised during her appearance at the TIME100 Summit in New York City on April 23. “We love José so much,” she said. “Having him on the show… we haven’t revealed everything about season two, and that’ll come through later.”
The first season of With Love, Meghan debuted on Netflix on March 4 and quickly became popular, ranking number seven on Netflix’s Top 10 shows in the U.K. and number ten in the U.S. Season one featured well-known guests like Mindy Kaling, Abigail Spencer, and chef Alice Waters, along with chefs and entrepreneurs such as Roy Choi.
Meghan expressed her excitement about the upcoming season, saying, “I’ve been really lucky. We have a great, great lineup.” As her first solo Netflix project, With Love, Meghan continues to highlight the people, places, and passions close to her heart.
