Meghan Markle May Return to ‘Suits’ in New LA Spinoff, Creator Reveals Open Invitation
Exciting news for fans of the legal drama ‘Suits’ as Meghan Markle might soon make a spectacular comeback. A prominent figure in the series’ creation, Aaron Korsh, declared that the Duchess of Sussex has an open invitation to reprise her iconic role as Rachel Zane in the upcoming spinoff titled ‘Suits LA.’ This announcement comes as the show gears up for its new chapter, fueled by renewed interest from viewers.
Open Invitation for Markle’s Return
During the premiere of ‘Suits LA,’ Korsh shared his thoughts with People magazine regarding Markle’s potential return. He expressed, “We have thought about whether it be Meghan or any of the other cast members coming on and playing themselves as an actor.” His enthusiasm was palpable as he further stated, “I think, for me, that’s a little … my brain blows up at the thought of that. Obviously, if Meghan wants to come back under any circumstances, Meghan can come back.” This hints at a broad willingness for the original cast members to reconnect with the franchise.
A Unique Challenge for the Show
Despite the warm invitation, Korsh noted that such a return might be challenging. He remarked, “Of course [she can come back]. Always. But I think, realistically, it would be too much of an explosion of the fourth wall to do that.” This statement raises questions about the feasibility of integrating Markle’s real-world persona—the Duchess of Sussex—into a show that has established its own narrative universe.
Looking Back: Markle’s Journey with ‘Suits’
Markle portrayed Rachel Zane from 2011 until 2018, a period that coincided with significant personal transformations. After becoming engaged to Prince Harry, she stepped away from her role to embrace her new life as a senior royal. However, her connection to the character remains a significant part of her previous career in Hollywood.
An All-New Cast for ‘Suits LA’
‘Suits LA’ represents a fresh start for the franchise with an entirely new cast of characters. Following the popularity surge of the original series on Netflix, which resumed streaming in 2023, the interest in expanding the ‘Suits’ universe has resulted in this spinoff. The original series, which concluded in 2019, quickly regained its status as Netflix’s most streamed show of the year.
Markle’s Subsequent Career Moves
Since her departure from ‘Suits,’ Markle has quickly made strides back into the entertainment scene. Following her marriage and relocation to Montecito, California, she explored numerous projects, including the docuseries ‘Harry & Meghan’ and her latest venture, ‘With Love, Meghan,’ which is slated to premiere on Netflix next month. She has also embraced social media, showcasing her personal life and new projects through a dedicated Instagram account.
Reflecting on Royal Life
In a previous interview with Town and Country, Markle reflected on her experiences navigating royal existence. She recalled an incident from 2019 where she traveled incognito from London to New York City to attend the U.S. Open. At that time, she stated, “For me, sneaking to New York five years ago was a really big deal. I was still so uncomfortable being out in the world.” Her candidness highlights the unique challenges that accompanied her role as a public figure.
Missing in Action at Current Events
Last year, Markle opted to miss a notable reunion at the Golden Globes, where original cast members presented the best television drama category. Reports indicated that Markle was invited to rejoin her former colleagues Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Sarah Rafferty, and Gina Torres, but had a pre-existing commitment that prevented her attendance. This led to speculation about her ongoing connection to the ‘Suits’ franchise.
Future Possibilities
As discussions about Markle’s potential return arise, entertainment enthusiasts eagerly await developments. Fox News Digital has reached out to her representatives to ascertain whether she would be interested in appearing on ‘Suits LA.’ The prospect of Markle returning to the show that helped launch her acting career excites both fans and industry insiders alike.
In this rapidly evolving narrative, the idea of Markle slipping back into the shoes of Rachel Zane adds an intriguing layer to the future of the series. Would viewers embrace this unexpected turn of events? As audiences eagerly watch how things unfold, the possibility of iconic characters returning will continue to keep fans engaged.
Markle’s connections to Hollywood remain strong, and her experience as a beloved character on ‘Suits’ persists in the cultural zeitgeist. Whether or not she graces the spinoff with her presence, her legacy in the series lives on.
