Meghan Markle In Talks To Join Cast Of Netflix's The Gentlemen In Return To Acting

Meghan Markle, the ex-wife of Prince Harry, is reportedly in advanced talks to join the cast of Netflix's upcoming series, The Gentlemen, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The actress, known for her role as Rachel Zane in the popular legal drama Suits, is being considered for a potential third season of the show. However, the exact details of her role have not been disclosed.

Sources indicate that Markle met the series creator, Guy Ritchie, through mutual acquaintances. This potential collaboration comes at a time when Markle and Prince Harry are set to return to the United Kingdom. Reports suggest that The Gentlemen filming location is in the UK, and some speculate that Markle's involvement could be a significant factor influencing their decision to move back.

It's been noted that Markle's role in Suits led to changes in dialogue after her engagement to Prince Harry and subsequent marriage, which might have prompted her interest in returning to acting.

The Gentlemen, set to debut on Netflix in March 2024, is directed by Guy Ritchie and follows the storyline of Theo James as Eddie Horniman, an ex-Army captain who inherits a criminal empire from his late father. Kaya Scodelario and Ray Winstone also star in the series. Season 2 is scheduled to premiere on September 3, with all eight episodes released simultaneously.

The addition of Markle to the cast may influence viewers' decisions to tune in for the new season. Audience opinions on her return to acting are sought for the upcoming release.
