Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, is already generating buzz ahead of its release on March 4.
However, the show has also sparked controversy, with viewers pointing out striking similarities between Meghan’s project
and Pamela’s Cooking With Love, the new lifestyle show from Golden Globe nominee Pamela Anderson.
As Meghan embarks on her latest venture into the lifestyle and entertainment space—alongside her new brand,
As Ever—many fans and critics are drawing comparisons between her show and Pamela’s, which premiered just ten days earlier on February 24.
The close release dates, overlapping themes, and even the presentation styles of both shows have led some to question whether Meghan’s series lacks originality.
Fans Spot Similarities Between Meghan and Pamela’s Shows
Both With Love, Meghan and Pamela’s Cooking With Love promise to combine personal storytelling with lifestyle tips. The projects appear to be deeply personal for both women, with each show incorporating aspects of their everyday lives, including time spent in their gardens, home cooking, and advice on entertaining guests.
These thematic similarities have not gone unnoticed by fans, who have taken to social media to voice their opinions. Many have commented on the way the trailers for both series present a nearly identical aesthetic, from the cinematography to the narrative framing.
Pamela’s trailer begins with the statement:
“I just always have wanted to take things to another level.”
Meanwhile, Meghan introduces her show by saying:
“I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.”
This parallel in messaging, coupled with footage of both stars selecting fresh ingredients from their gardens and working alongside professional chefs, has led to accusations that Meghan’s show is a near replica of Pamela’s.
Social Media Reactions: Viewers Cry “Copycat”
The debate over the similarities between With Love, Meghan and Pamela’s Cooking With Love has gained momentum online, with some viewers openly accusing Meghan of copying Pamela’s approach.
One fan commented:
“With Love, Meghan? And the whole ‘elevate’ thing too. What a coincidence!”
Another added:
“If you watch the trailer for Pamela’s new show, it’s a more authentic version of what Meghan was trying to achieve & it looks as though Meghan has copied everything! The trailers are so similar it’s freaky.”
Some fans were even more critical, praising Pamela Anderson’s authenticity while suggesting that Meghan’s series feels forced or imitative.
A third viewer wrote:
“Looking forward to watching Pamela’s Cooking With Love debut tonight. I’m sure it’s going to be a hit because she is at least authentic, no airs or graces. Just Pamela. Unlike her copycat Meghan Markle. Keep being you, Pamela. We loved you then & love you now.”
Is Netflix in “Panic Mode” Over Meghan’s Show?
While anticipation for With Love, Meghan remains high, reports suggest that Netflix is facing challenges in marketing the show, especially amid the backlash. Some sources claim that the streaming giant is in “panic mode” as they attempt to ensure the series finds success despite the criticism.
Adding to the drama, Meghan briefly posted and then deleted an Instagram video promoting the show, fueling speculation that last-minute changes are being made behind the scenes. Whether this was an accidental upload or a sign of ongoing revisions remains unclear, but the move only added to the intrigue surrounding the series.
What This Means for Meghan’s Lifestyle Brand
Meghan’s foray into the lifestyle space extends beyond her Netflix show. She recently launched As Ever, a brand expected to encompass home goods, food, wellness, and personal development. Given the growing comparisons to Pamela Anderson’s project, Meghan may face additional pressure to establish a unique identity for her brand and distance it from similar offerings.
Despite the backlash, Meghan remains a prominent figure in the media world, and With Love, Meghan will undoubtedly attract viewers eager to see how she presents her personal and lifestyle insights. Whether the show will stand out on its own or continue to be overshadowed by comparisons to Pamela Anderson’s series remains to be seen.
With With Love, Meghan set to premiere on March 4, audiences will soon have the chance to judge for themselves whether Meghan’s vision is truly original—or just a case of déjà vu.
