Meghan Markle could have another thrilling project in the works, with fans speculating that new episodes of her Archetypes podcast may soon be released—just six months after its discontinuation.
The Duchess of Sussex has already started 2025 on a high note, debuting her new Instagram account, @meghan, and teasing her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Now, a recent post by Lemonada Media has sparked hope that Archetypes might be making a much-anticipated return.
Lemonada Media, which took over Archetypes following Meghan’s split from Spotify, shared an Instagram update hinting at the return of several shows, including Meghan’s.
Alongside an image of their upcoming lineup, they wrote, “We are SO back!” and asked followers which show they were most excited about. Among the featured podcasts was Archetypes, igniting speculation of new episodes.
Fans quickly flooded the comments, expressing their excitement at the possibility of the podcast’s revival. Launched in 2022, Archetypes explored stereotypes and labels that hold women back, featuring notable guests like Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, and Jameela Jamil.
The podcast initially topped Spotify charts in 47 countries but lost momentum over time. In June 2023, the Sussexes and Spotify parted ways amid reports of behind-the-scenes challenges and unmet content expectations.
In early 2024, Meghan signed a new deal with Lemonada Media, expressing her eagerness to return to podcasting. She shared her excitement in a statement: “I’m proud to now be able to share that I am joining the brilliant team at Lemonada to continue my love of podcasting. Supporting a female-founded company with a roster of thought-provoking and entertaining podcasts is a fantastic way to kick off 2024.”
Meghan also announced plans to re-release Archetypes for a broader audience and hinted at a new podcast in the works. The original series was a significant success, averaging one million listeners per episode and winning a People’s Choice Award for Best Pop Podcast in 2022. Meghan also received the Best Entertainment Podcast Host award at the Gracie Awards.
Lemonada Media CEO Jessica Cordova Kramer praised Meghan’s work, saying: “We are beyond honored that Meghan has trusted us to help democratize access to Archetypes, allowing more people around the world to experience the series. Meghan’s talent as a host, creator, and conversationalist is unparalleled, and we are thrilled to co-create a new series with her that reflects her commitment to creating meaningful content.”
Meghan’s increasing media presence comes as she and Prince Harry continue to expand their brand and business ventures. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the couple has secured high-profile deals, including Harry’s memoir Spare and their $100 million Netflix partnership, which included the Harry & Meghan docuseries.
Their latest project, With Love, Meghan, premieres on Netflix on January 15. The series offers an intimate glimpse into Meghan’s passions, from cooking and gardening to spending quality time with loved ones. In the trailer, Meghan shares: “We’re not in the pursuit of perfection, we’re in the pursuit of joy.”
The teaser, set to Do You Believe in Magic by The Lovin’ Spoonful, showcases Meghan preparing meals in her Montecito kitchen, harvesting produce from her garden, and enjoying time with friends, including Mindy Kaling. Meghan reflects on her love of creating special moments, saying: “I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it, surprising people with moments that show I was really thinking of them. This is about connecting with friends, making new friends, and learning.”
