The teaser, which Meghan also shared on her Instagram, revealed that the next instalment of With Love, Meghan will air in two weeks’ time on August 26.
Celebrity guests joining the former Suits star during the eight episodes include US model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen and Queer Eye star Tan France, as well as podcaster Jay Shetty and his cookbook author wife Radhi Devlukia.
The trailer, to the soundtrack of Bobby Day’s upbeat Rockin’ Robin, showed Meghan cooking, baking and crafting with her celebrity friends and saying: "I love the idea of just spending time together and finding new ways to show people you care."
An array of food - from fresh bread to salad and fish - feature in the trailer.
She also revealed her husband is not a fan of lobster, to which chef José Andrés said: "And you married him anyway?"
On Monday, Harry and Meghan announced a "multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects," in contrast to their reported 100 million dollar (£74 million) contract five years ago.
PR and crisis expert Mark Borkowski described it as a "downgrade", and suggested Netflix was "pivoting away" from Harry and Meghan.
The deal includes a new documentary called 'Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within'.
Meghan said: "We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand.
"My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision."
Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, said: "Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere.
"The response to their work speaks for itself - Harry & Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series.
"More recently, fans have been inspired by With Love, Meghan, with products from the new As ever line consistently selling out in record time."We're excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together."
