Meghan Markle's Archetypes podcast may return in 2025

Meghan Markle will apparently revive its podcast “Archetypes” with new episodes in 2025 after a hiatus after Spotify and Archewell Audio parted ways in 2023.

Lemonada Media, the new platform the Duchess joined in early 2024, teased Meghan's podcast in a post about the new year.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle kicked off 2025 by unveiling her new Instagram account and teasing her upcoming Netflix series “Love, Meghan.”

In a recent Instagram post, Lemonada Media, the company behind Meghan's 'Archetypes' podcast, hinted at its return after a long hiatus.

Originally launched in August 2022, Archetypes aimed to expose stereotypes and barriers faced by women.

However, the show's momentum faded despite an initial splash with guests such as Serena Williams and Mariah Carey.

By June 2023, Spotify and Archewell Audio announced the end of their partnership, with reports citing creative differences and unmet content expectations.

In early 2024, Meghan signed with Lemonada Media, and their latest social media post announced, “We're back!” suggests that her podcast may return with other upcoming episodes.

The post added: “With new episodes of Fail Better, Boneheads, Pop Culture Debate Club AND MORE coming out this week, which podcast do you want to listen to this week?”

Fans were quick to fill the comments section of Lemonade's post, anxiously awaiting new episodes of the duchess' show, as the image hinted that the podcast could be making a comeback.

One user commented: “I can't wait to see Meghan's new podcasts,” while another shared: “I loved Archetypes. I wish there was a season two.”

A third user humorously added: “Our duchess has been working hard!”

Another fan noted: “I loved Archetypes. I wish there was a second season.”

In an announcement last February, Megan shared her excitement about joining Lemonada Media, saying, “I'm proud to share that I'm now joining the amazing Lemonada team to continue my love of podcasting.”

She continued: “Being able to support a female-founded company with a thought-provoking and highly entertaining podcast list is a fantastic way to kick off 2024.”

“Our plan to re-release Archetypes so that more people can now access it, as well as launch a dynamic new podcast, is well underway. I'm really looking forward to sharing it soon and I'm very excited to be joining the Lemonade family,” she added.

Lemonade spokeswoman Jessica Cordova Kramer said she was honored to work with the Duchess.

“We are beyond honored that Megan has trusted us to help democratize access to the archetypes and that many more people will soon have access to the series,” she praised.

Kramer added: “Megan's talent as a presenter, creator and conversationalist is unmatched, and we're thrilled to work with her on a new series that furthers her approach to creating art that matters.

“Archetypes” originally debuted as Spotify's #1 podcast. 1 in 47 countries, becoming a huge success with around one million listens per episode.

However, behind-the-scenes tensions arose between Spotify and Sussex-based Archewell Audio, with some sources suggesting that Spotify expected more content than the pair produced.

In a joint statement, both parties confirmed their mutual decision to separate, praising their partnership.

However, tensions escalated when Spotify CEO Bill Simmons criticized Prince Harry and Meghan in a podcast episode, calling them “grifters” and recounting a frustrating conversation with Prince Harry.

“Damn grifters. It's a podcast we had to start with them,” he said Daily mail. “One night I have to get drunk and tell the story of the zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with the podcast idea. This is one of my best stories. “

He also expressed disdain for Harry's constant presence in public, calling it “disgraceful” and claiming that Harry has little to offer other than complaining about his royal life.

Meanwhile, Meghan kicked off 2025 with a bang, launching a new Instagram account and teasing her upcoming projects “Love, Meghan,” including her Netflix series, which debuts on January 15.

The series, which has been highly anticipated since the launch of her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard last March, will offer a glimpse into the life of Megan Montecito.

The trailer shows her in the kitchen, harvesting in her garden and chatting with famous friends like Mindy Kaling.

Expressing her enthusiasm, Megan wrote on Instagram: “I'm so excited to share with you! I hope you enjoyed the show as much as I enjoyed making it.

She added: “Wishing you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our great team and crew. Thank you so much for all the support and fun!” She concluded her message by writing: “As always Meghan.”
