The much-loved cast of the hit legal drama series, Suits, has sparked reboot rumors by reuniting for an upcoming Superbowl commercial.
However, one notable absence from the gathering was Meghan Markle, who played the role of Rachel Zane in the show.
Speculations about a potential comeback for the beloved USA Network series have been circulating since September, and this recent reunion has only fueled the excitement.
Gina Torres, Rick Hoffman, and Sarah Rafferty, who are part of the Suits cast, will feature in a 30-second promotion for ELF cosmetics.
The commercial is scheduled to air on CBS during the Superbowl on February 11th.
ELF cosmetics offered fans a sneak peek of the advertisement on Tuesday, generating even more anticipation.
The teaser clip showcases ELF interns delivering summons to some of Courtroom Entertainment’s most memorable characters, including the three Suits stars.
Additionally, the promotion features Ronald Gladden from Jury Duty, musician Meghan Trainor, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Heidi N Closet, and former footballer Emmanuel Acho.
The video begins with comedian Benito Skinner, portraying an ELF intern named Cooper, who calls Meghan Markle’s character, Rachel Zane, to inform her about the summons.
However, Meghan Markle’s image was conspicuously absent from the video.
Throughout the clip, the other Suits co-stars are shown engaging in various activities before being unexpectedly interrupted and handed a pink slip, summoning them to appear in court.
The commercial concludes with an intriguing message that reads, “See you in court on February 11th.”
In interviews, Rick Hoffman expressed his delight at working with his former co-stars again, describing it as the pinnacle of happiness.
Sarah Rafferty likened the experience to coming home, emphasizing the bond they share.
It was revealed that Patrick J Adams, who played the character of Mike Ross in Suits, could not participate in the commercial due to his commitments shooting a film in South Africa.
However, no mention was made of Meghan Markle’s absence.
The sudden interest in Suits and the reunion of its cast members is part of a strategic PR campaign to generate excitement for the upcoming reboot.
The creator of the original show has clarified that it is not a spin-off but a reimagining of the series with entirely new characters.
Interestingly, Meghan Markle has been vocal about a potential Suits LA project specifically tailored for her, with reports suggesting she has demanded significant compensation.
However, despite her previous association with the show, she appears to be excluded from the reunions and promotional activities.
This exclusion has raised questions about why Meghan Markle is never included in these events.
While some argue that her role in Suits was her most significant to date, it is worth noting that it was a secondary role.
Additionally, rumors have circulated that she was difficult to work with and had excessive demands regarding salary and perks.
As fans eagerly await the Superbowl commercial and the potential Suits reboot, the absence of Meghan Markle from these recent events continues to generate curiosity and speculation.
