Meghan Markle's next podcast is around the corner.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, will host a new podcast coming this spring, she reveals to PEOPLE in this week's exclusive cover story. The show will be the first series since Meghan announced her partnership with Lemonada Media on Feb. 13, 2024, which came after parting ways with Spotify.

“Being able to support a female-founded company with a roster of thought-provoking and highly entertaining podcasts is a fantastic way to kick off 2024,” Meghan said in a statement at the time. "Our plan to re-release Archetypes so that more people can now have access to it." Archetypes was made available on all platforms for the first time on March 5, 2024. The relaunch also came with a new look: the Archetypes artwork featured the same photo of Meghan but with pink lettering replacing the previous green and the addition of the Lemonada logo.

After Meghan and Prince Harry stepped back from their working roles as members of the royal family in 2020, they signed deals with Netflix and Spotify. The couple debuted their podcasting skills with a two-minute audio clip later that year.

Meghan hosted Archetypes, which aired 12 episodes in 2022 exploring female stereotypes with guests such as Serena WilliamsMariah Carey and Paris Hilton.

However, Meghan and Prince Harry's production company Archwell Audio announced that they had parted ways with Spotify in June 2023.

"Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together," the networks said in a joint statement.

The eight-episode show, hitting the streaming service on March 4, was described by Netflix as an “inspiring series, produced by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, that reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old."

Meghan welcomes guests including Mindy Kaling and her former Suits costar Abigail Spencer to join her in activities like cooking, tending to a beehive, arranging flowers at a shop, party planning and hosting guests.

In an exclusive interview for PEOPLE, the Duchess of Sussex shares how she's returning to her roots with the Netflix show as well as her upcoming lifestyle brand, As ever.

“My husband met me when I had The Tig," she says of her former blog, "and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me."

“It’s almost like a honeymoon period again because it’s exactly how it was in the beginning when he’d watch me scribbling away, writing newsletters, fine-tuning edits and just really being in the details of it," she adds. "I think he loves watching as much as I love doing that creative process. It’s just been fun. This is who I’ve always been.”
