Meghan Markle's highly anticipated Netflix show has been postponed due to the devastating wildfires sweeping through southern California. Originally set to premiere on Wednesday, the release has been rescheduled to 4 March. The show, described by Netflix as a "heartfelt tribute to the beauty of southern California," was filmed in Montecito, a town with a high fire risk rating. Although the fires have not yet reached the coastal enclave where Meghan and Prince Harry reside, safety concerns prompted the delay.
The decision to postpone the show comes as the wildfires continue to wreak havoc across the region. The fires have claimed at least 24 lives and forced hundreds of thousands to evacuate their homes. Montecito, located around 160 kilometers (99 miles) north-west of Los Angeles, is no stranger to such risks. Despite this, the enclave remains untouched by the current blazes.
Netflix has expressed full support for Meghan's decision to delay the premiere. The streaming giant acknowledged the urgency of the situation and backed Meghan's focus on addressing the needs of those affected by the natural disaster.
"I'm thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California," – Meghan
The show, comprising eight 30-minute episodes, promises to feature appearances from well-known personalities such as Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer. Filmed in the picturesque area of Montecito, where Meghan and Prince Harry have made their home, the show aims to highlight the region's scenic charm and cultural richness.
In recent days, Meghan and Prince Harry have been seen offering their support to residents in the devastated area of Pasadena. Their presence underscores a commitment to their community and emphasizes the importance of coming together during challenging times.
