Streaming giant Netflix has announced that Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's new Netflix show has been postponed until March due to the raging wildfires in Los Angeles. This lifestyle series, filmed in Southern California, was originally scheduled to premiere this Wednesday.
Netflix stated that they "fully support" Meghan's request to postpone the release. Since Tuesday, the wildfires have been ravaging the California city, causing at least 16 deaths and forcing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate their homes.
In a statement, Netflix described the upcoming show as a "heartfelt tribute to the beauty of Southern California," adding that given the "ongoing devastation" caused by the wildfires, they would postpone the premiere of "Beloved, Meghan." "I am grateful to my partners at Netflix for supporting my decision to postpone the release as we focus on helping those affected by the California wildfires," said the Duchess.
The show, filmed in the Southern California town of Montecito, will now air on March 4th. "Beloved, Meghan" includes eight 30-minute episodes, featuring appearances from celebrities such as actress Mindy Kaling and former "Suits" star Abigail Spencer. In a trailer released earlier this month, Meghan is seen decorating a cake with raspberries and harvesting honey in California, where she lives with her husband, Prince Harry, and their two children.
Last Friday, Prince Harry and Meghan were spotted embracing residents in the affected areas of Pasadena, following the worst wildfires in Los Angeles history. Prince Harry and Meghan embraced residents in Pasadena.
