RadarOnline.com can reveal the Duchess of Sussex, 43, launched the new streaming venture on her Instagram page, which she kickstarted on Tuesday, featuring a trailer showing herself cooking in her Montecito kitchen.
Markle is seen in the trailer cooking in her kitchen and finding produce in her garden.
The series, called With Love, Meghan, will feature "friends old and new," and will be also based in her garden and even her beehive.
The trailer shows the Duchess cooking in her kitchen, picking produce from her garden and chatting with famous pals including Mindy Kaling while The Lovin' Spoonful's Do You Believe in Magic plays over the top.
Posting the trailer on her Instagram account, Markle wrote: "I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it.
"Wishing you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our amazing crew and the team. Beyond grateful for the support – and fun!"
She signed off: "As ever, Meghan."
'The Office' star Mindy Kaling is one of Markle's first guests on her show and she describes being served the Duchess' Victoria Sponge as 'one of the most glamorous moments of my life.'
Describing the series in an official synopsis, Netflix said: "Sharing some of her favorite tips and tricks for cooking, gardening, crafting, and more, Meghan reveals how even the most minute details can help add beauty to our lives and, most importantly, help bring people together.
"Whether it's preparing take-home gifts for guests or adding a sprinkle of edible flowers to breakfast, it's truly the thought that counts."
In the short trailer, Markle speaks about 'making new friends' and learning new skills – such as beekeeping.
Speaking in the trailer, Markle says: "I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it, surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.
"I'm going to share some little tips and tricks and how you incorporate these practices every day.
"This is about connecting with friends... We're not in the pursuit of perfection we're in the pursuit of joy."
Appearing in a snippet in the trailer, Kaling, who is being served up a piece of Victoria Sponge cake, says: "What! This is probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life."
