Once upon a time before she married a prince, Meghan Markle was a working actor who starred in the legal drama Suits. The now-duchess played Rachel Zane on the series from 2011 to 2018. Meghan left the show before her royal wedding to Prince Harry, an affair that her Suits co-stars attended.
The show had a resurgence in 2023 when it became available on the streaming platforms Netflix and Peacock. And now, there’s even a new reboot in the works titled Suits: LA. Because of that, there’s been speculation about whether Harry’s wife or any of her castmates will make a cameo in the new series. Meghan’s former co-stars haven’t had any contact with her though, and one even admitted he’s “scared” to talk to her now. Here’s more on that.

Prior to meeting Prince Harry, Meghan Markle starred in the legal drama Suits playing the role of Rachel Zane. Following the popularity of the show after it became available to stream on Netflix, there was an announcement that a new show called Suits: LA is in the works. There’s also been chatter about a reboot of the original series, and of course everyone wants to know if the Duchess of Sussex would be part of that.

Exclusive: Bodhi Talent clients have abandoned the Manchester-based talent agency after founder Archie Purnell was accused of being a “rogue trader” in a Deadline investigation.
Several actors posted on Twitter (now X) about their decision to quit Bodhi following allegations that Purnell was sending clients fake self-tape audition invites and breaking regulations by paying actors late.
Purnell sent an email to clients on Thursday saying he was “heartbroken” at the claims, which he said were “false” and created by an individual who had previously attempted to “jeopardise my character.” He did not identify this individual in the email, which was co-signed by his business partner Ricky Cortis.
“To say I am heartbroken is an understatement, but as always, the truth will out. There is always two sides to every story,” Purnell wrote. “My legal time [sic] is currently dealing with it all and legal action is now being taken against all parties involved.

2024 has barely gotten started yet Meghan Markle’s “industry image” has already taken a hit. The Duchess of Sussex’s absence from the Golden Globe Awards wasn’t good, according to an entertainment expert. They say it’s important the 42-year-old remind the world of her “ties” to “successful projects.” Therefore, joining the mini Suits reunion would’ve been hugely “beneficial.”

The “Suits” buzz continues! Gabriel Macht and Patrick Adams, who portrayed Harvey Spector and Michael Ross, respectively, on the USA Network series, will be presenting at the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.
“Suits,” produced by UCP, originally aired for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019. Adams and Macht starred alongside Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle, Gina Torres and Sarah Rafferty. Sources tell Variety that other cast members were invited to present as well.
Although the legal drama was successful during its initial run, even launching a spinoff, “Pearson,” it reentered the cultural conversation this year when the first eight seasons began streaming on Netflix.

Actor Patrick J. Adams took to social media to apologize for sharing throwback photos during his time with Suits amid the SAG-AFTRA strike.
The actor, who played the lead role of Michael Ross, posted several photos during his time on the show. Several of his co-stars, including Meghan Markle, Sarah Rafferty, Gabriel Macht and Rick Hoffman, were featured in the photos.
His post broke SAG-AFTRA rules, as actors are not allowed to take part in promotional work for film and television. This includes directly or indirectly talking about past projects. Adams then deleted the posts and posted an apology on his Instagram stories.
“The last couple of days I foolishly and thoughtlessly let a trip down Suits memory lane distract me from the very real and ongoing fight everyone in @sagaftra continues to wage in its effort to win our membership realistic 21st Century compensation and protections,” he said.

“Excuse me, that isn’t … is that … Suits?”
This was me at the barbershop a few Saturdays ago. I was fifth in line for a haircut and trying to focus on my new library book, but my attention kept being drawn to the TV set, which was not only showing the legal drama, which ran from 2011-19 on USA, but showing its very first episode. Though I didn’t watch the series for long, I remembered that debut very well, having reviewed it a dozen years and several websites ago.

Forgive us if we occasionally sound surprised or bemused in our coverage of the Suits streaming phenomenon. It’s just that an innocuous 2010s cable series suddenly becoming a monster hit on streaming is a fairly perplexing experience.
Streaming services like Netflix and Peacock, both of which host multiple seasons of Suits, spend untold millions trying to produce their own original hits only for a USA Network series from years ago to blow them all out of the water. People quite simply can’t get enough of the legal machinations of Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), Michael Ross (Patrick J. Adams), and the rest of the personnel a their constantly-changing law firm.
Why, exactly, has Suits in particular become such a hit? We’ll leave that one for the sociologists. But the show’s success this summer has made one undeniable fact of TV life clear: legal dramas are great! For decades,...

USA Network legal drama Suits has entered an important second phase in its TV life. After airing throughout the 2010s on basic cable, the show about a very busy New York law firm has become an unexpected hit in the streaming world.
Though all nine seasons of the series have been available to stream on Peacock for awhile now, the addition of the first eight seasons to Netflix on June 17 helped supercharge its popularity. According to Nielsen, Suits has broken streaming records with the number of minutes it was streamed across multiple platforms this summer. Anecdotally, you may even know of several folks cranking through the show’s 134 episodes right now – or maybe that person is even you!
While Suits‘ “second phase” as a bona fide streaming phenomenon is an impressive achievement for any show with cable origins, there is still one more phase in the TV life cycle it needed to conquer: a spinoff.

Perhaps you’ve heard but it’s been a very Suits summer.
Despite airing its final episode in September 2019, USA Network’s legal procedural Suits has been the talk of the streaming world ever since its first eight seasons arrived to Netflix on June 17. All nine seasons have been streaming on Peacock for far longer but Netflix, as the biggest streaming service, tends to drive the most attention. Per Nielsen, Suits has already broken its own streaming record with 3.7 billion minutes viewed the first week of July and viewership intensity doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
The potential reasons for Suits‘ surge in popularity are manyfold. While the dual WGA and Sga strikes shouldn’t have led to an extended pause in summer content in theory, some studios have juggled their schedules a bit to weather the storm for the fall season. Additionally, Suits‘ basic cable format...

Prince Harry‘s forthcoming memoir Spare which is set to be released on January 10, has had no excerpts officially released to any media outlets but snippets have been leaked to the press regardless.

Prince Harry expressed the extreme discomfort he felt after watching Meghan Markle’s sex scenes in Suits.
From 2011 and 2018, Markle starred as lawyer Rachel Zane in the hit legal drama opposite Patrick J Adams, who played her love interest, Mike Ross.
Markle married producer Trevor Engelson just after the show’s first season premiered, before getting divorced in 2014.
Two years later, Harry and Markle met before eventually getting married in 2018.
During the early days of their relationship, Harry recalled making “the mistake of Googling and watching some of her love scenes online” in an excerpt (via Page Six) from his forthcoming memoir Spare.
“I’d witnessed her and a castmate mauling each other in some sort of office or conference room,” he wrote. “I didn’t need to see such things live.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s new Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, is fast becoming one of the most talked-about TV events of the year.
The series, which will drop its first three episodes on Thursday 8 December, is expected to be the couple’s most revealing TV appearance since their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
In the trailer for the new series, Prince Harry can be heard suggesting that there were stories “planted” against Markle during their time as senior members of the royal institution.
Here’s a rundown of Markle’s career in TV and film.
Markle made her acting debut in an episode of US soap opera General Hospital in 2002.
Her work throughout much of the next decade was characterised by short, one-episode appearances on TV series such as CSI: NY, 90210, and The League, also appearing in a two-episode arc on Fox’s sci-fi drama Fringe in...

Ray Romano tonight makes his directorial debut with the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Somewhere In Queens. While this affable guy made a fortune starring in one of the biggest sitcoms of all time, then headlined the animated franchise Ice Age and went on to become the rare sitcom star to succeed as a dramatic actor in films including Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, Romano doesn’t try to hide the nervousness he feels before tonight’s 8 Pm premiere at Bmcc Tribeca Performing Arts Center. Or the almost paralyzing anxiety he felt at the prospect of making the film.
Romano stars as the son of an Italian construction business owner who toils unappreciated in dad’s business along with everyone else in the family. Life with his wife (Laurie Metcalf) in Queens is unexceptional, except when Leo watches his son Sticks (Jacob Ward) play high school basketball. The kid excels,...

The definitive winner this summer, as far as I'm concerned, is USA's Suits. Already picked up for another season, the legal drama starring Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht won over fans immediately. As young genius Mike Ross, and legal powerhouse Harvey Specter, the pair have delivered time and again, as the show details their curious relationship, the firm's inner turmoil, and a variety of interesting and offbeat cases.
The show has given us a great balance of character study and episodic treatment, and the result has been a growing, devoted fanbase.
Not only has the show given us great episodes, and a dynamic duo to grip us, but the supporting cast is better than the main players are most offerings. Chief among the show's standouts is Rick Hoffman, who gives us a wonderful turn as the shady-ish Louis, another partner in the firm,...
