Don’t count Meghan Markle out yet! According to Express UK, the royal actor was in negotiations for a lucrative deal to return to the new “Suits: LA” show. “This is shaping up to be one of the biggest TV deals of the year,” shared a source with the outlet in January 2024. “Meghan is in a commanding position. They want to expand a successful franchise in which she has a ready-made fan base of millions worldwide.” Apparently, the powers that be are willing to pay whatever the Duchess of Sussex wants in order to benefit from her “Markle Sparkle.” To sweeten the deal, NBCUniversal execs reportedly told her that she could direct her very first episode of television. How exciting!
Unfortunately, updates about this deal have been sparse, so it may not currently hold any weight. But even if she had no plans to return to acting through television, maybe a movie with Markle’s co-stars could entice her. In June 2024, Patrick J. Adams revealed at the ATX TV Festival, that a possible “Suits” movie with the original characters was possible, even if the “Suits” TV show was Aaron Korsh’s focus. “But it’s definitely something he’s interested in doing, in trying to get the band back together,” said Adams, according to Variety. “So it depends on a million things if that can happen, but is it possible? I think it is possible.” And while Adams couldn’t speak for the other characters, he was down to return.
