Meghan Markle might return to the screen, with her reportedly in early talks to join Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series “The Gentlemen”. Since the discussions are still in the preliminary stage, with no deals signed, no details about the potential role have been revealed.
Reports suggest Meghan is being considered for the third season of this crime comedy, even though Netflix has not yet officially renewed the series beyond its upcoming season. “The Gentlemen”, starring Theo James and Kaya Scodelario, is a spinoff of Guy Ritchie’s 2019 film with the same name. It has since emerged as one of Netflix’s popular British original series. The second season is set to premiere on September 3rd.
This could mark a significant shift for Meghan, who stepped away from acting after her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018. Before that, she was well known for her character Rachel Zane in “Suits”, where she appeared for seven seasons. After stepping back from royal duties, Meghan focused on production, lifestyle ventures and projects under the couple’s Archewell banner.
The reports also come amid plans for Meghan and Harry to return to the UK after spending six years in California. “The Gentlemen” is filmed in Britain, making the potential project particularly convenient as the couple prepare for the move. However, neither Meghan nor Netflix has publicly confirmed her involvement in the series.
The development is especially notable because Meghan had previously suggested that her acting career was behind her. In a 2022 interview with Variety, she said she was “done” with acting. More recently, however, she has begun taking steps back into the entertainment world, including a cameo appearance as herself in the upcoming Amazon MGM comedy “Close Personal Friends”.
If the discussions result in a deal, “The Gentlemen” could become Meghan’s first major scripted acting role in years. For now, however, her potential return remains a possibility.
