Meghan Markle Eyes Acting Comeback in Netflix’s ‘The Gentlemen’ Season Three
Meghan Markle is reportedly in talks to make a significant acting comeback nearly a decade after leaving the TV series Suits. The Duchess of Sussex may star in the third season of Netflix’s crime drama The Gentlemen, created by Guy Ritchie and based on his 2019 film. According to BBC reports, a role is being developed specifically for Markle, although the third season has not yet been officially greenlit. Details about the size of her role or the number of episodes she would appear in remain unclear, and neither Netflix nor Markle’s representatives have confirmed the news.
Markle has reportedly met with Guy Ritchie through mutual acquaintances, and work on her character has begun. If she joins the series, it would mark her first major acting role since departing Suits in 2017, where she played Rachel Zane for seven seasons before marrying Prince Harry in 2018. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to California, Markle and Harry have signed a significant deal with Netflix, and Markle is also set for a cameo in the comedy film Close Personal Friends.
The Gentlemen’s second season is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 3. The show centers on Edward Horniman, played by Theo James, who inherits a family estate tied to a drug empire. Meanwhile, reports indicate that Markle and Harry plan to spend extended time in the UK, with their children expected to start British schooling in September, though they do not intend to resume royal duties.
In related news, Prince Harry recently faced a legal setback in his privacy lawsuit against the Daily Mail’s publisher, with the London High Court ordering him and other claimants to pay £9.5 million (about $13 million) in legal costs by August 28.
