As Ever Brand Fallout: Meghan & Netflix Part Ways

0:00On March 19th, Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand, as ever, has ended its partnership with Netflix after just about a year. The brand launched in April 2025 with Jam at the center, alongside items like flower sprinkles, cookie mixes, wine, tea, and candles. Netflix invested to help bring it to life, but sales fell short, leading to the split announced on Friday, March 6th. The idea grew from Meghan's pandemic jam making, which caught Netflix's executive Bella Bajaria's eye and sparked her cooking show with Love, Meghan. Two series and a Christmas special aired in March, August, and December of 2024, tying into the brand's launch. Sources close to the matter say there was simply too much unsolved jam and stock worth up to $10 million. As Ever's team claimed rapid growth and independence, while Netflix praised Meghan's vision, but noted the partnership wrapped as planned. Execs were caught off guard by the brand's confident tone. Behind the scenes, tensions brewed over the brand's direction.

1:00Netflix pushed for expansions like China, Glassware, and retail spaces, but Meghan went her own way, hiring a consultant from Goop. Top brass, including Ted Cerandos, unfollowed her and the brand on Instagram, signaling a real rift. This fallout raises questions for Meghan and Harry's broader Netflix deal through arcowell productions, especially with the show's viewership, dropping from $5.3 million to $2 million. Meanwhile, as Ever pushes ahead with a new floral delivery tie-up.
