Meghan has reportedly wrapped up filming for her new cooking and home show, which is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation and is said to meant to coincide with the launch of her lifestyle brand.
The project in Montecito, which is yet to receive a title or air date, will ‘celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship’ and is part of Meghan and Harry’s $100million Netflix deal.
In conversation about the new project, a Hollywood source told The Daily Beast: ‘It all went well, and it is in the can.’
The project commenced filming days after Meghan sent out exclusive pots of homemade jam from her brand to her nearest and dearest.
A film permit application exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com showed filming took place in two separate locations.
In April, Meghan, spent the day surrounded by the blooms of Florabundance, a florist 10-minutes drive from Montecito in the coastal California town of Carpinteria.
The day after, production trucks lined the driveway of a $5million property set in eight acres of avocado trees and lemon groves in a gated community in Montecito for filming.
ARCHETYPES PODCAST
Meghan Markle’s Archetypes podcast was launched with a new cover (pictured) for Lemonada
The Duchess, who produced only one series of her podcast Archetypes for Spotify before parting ways with the company, signed with Lemonada to develop and host a new series
After parting ways with Spotify, Meghan’s new deal with a much smaller podcast company is struggling to get off the starting blocks, according to The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden.
Prince Harry’s wife announced amid great fanfare in February that she had signed a deal with Lemonada Media, a female-founded company that wants to ‘make life suck less’.
The Duchess, who produced only one series of her podcast Archetypes for Spotify before parting ways with the company, had signed with Lemonada to develop and host a new series.
However, a source told Eden that there is not expected to be any work broadcast this year. ‘The relaunch of Meghan’s Archetypes podcast got pushed back to 2025,’ the California-based source says.
It is understood that Lemonada did not want the podcast’s launch to be overshadowed by the former actress’s television series, which she began filming at a rented house in Montecito earlier this year. Netflix said the show would ‘celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship’.
Lemonada is said to be concerned that there would also be ‘scheduling conflicts’ between the launch of its podcasts and that of Meghan’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
A spokesman for Meghan declined to comment at the time, but sources claim she had a list of ‘very high-profile guests’ scheduled to participate in her new podcasts.
Guests on her series of 12 podcasts for Spotify included Wimbledon champion Serena Williams, pop star Mariah Carey, and Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell.

Meghan said in February that she was ‘overjoyed’ to be joining Lemonada, which describes itself as an ‘award-winning, independent…podcast network, with a mission to make life suck less’.
She added: ‘Our plan to re-release Archetypes so that more people can now have access to it, as well as launching a dynamic new podcast, are well in the works. I’m so eager to be able to share it soon.’
In a statement about her new podcast, Meghan said previously: ‘Being able to support a female-founded company with a roster of thought provoking and highly entertaining podcasts is a fantastic way to kick off 2024.
‘Our plan to re-release ‘Archetypes’ so that more people can now have access to it, as well as launching a dynamic new podcast are well in the works. I’m so eager to be able to share it soon, and am overjoyed to be joining the Lemonada family.’
Cordova Kramer, from Lemonada, said at the time: ‘We are beyond honored that Meghan has trusted us to help democratize access to Archetypes, and that so many more people around the world will have access to the series soon.
‘Meghan’s talent as host, creator and conversationalist is unparalleled and we are thrilled to co-create a new series with her that fosters her approach to creating art that matters.’
