Meghan Markle has announced that her upcoming Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, has now been postponed due to the ongoing horrific wildfires in Los Angeles.
The Duchess of Sussex previously announced at the start of the year that her new lifestyle-oriented show will focus on showcasing the beauty of her home state with special guests.
"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," an official statement from Meghan read, per Netflix.
The show will now debut on March 4, nearly two months after its originally planned January 15 release.
The series was shot at Meghan and Prince Harry's home base of Montecito, California, and the eight episodes will now be available for release in March.
The guests that have already been revealed by Netflix include Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling and Alice Waters, with the streamer teasing "additional acclaimed chefs and special friends."

"Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection, and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected. She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same."
