Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is on the brink of a major television comeback with a groundbreaking offer to star in a spin-off of the popular series Suits.
In an exclusive report by Daily Express US, it has been revealed that senior network executives are extending a lucrative deal to bring Markle back to the small screen in a role specially crafted for her.
The proposed series, tentatively titled “Suits, Los Angeles,” has already generated significant buzz within the industry.
Not only is Markle being considered for a leading role in the show, but she has also been approached to step behind the camera as a director for at least one episode.
The project, backed by studio giant NCUniversal, has garnered attention for its potential to reignite the success of the original series, which aired from 2011 to 2019.
Negotiations between the network and Markle’s representatives at WME are reportedly underway, with sources hinting at a monumental television deal in the making.
The prospect of Markle’s return to the screen has stirred excitement among fans worldwide, prompting studio executives to pull out all the stops to secure her involvement.
With talks progressing swiftly, an official announcement regarding Markle’s participation in the series is anticipated in the coming weeks.
Studio insiders have hinted at a swift production timeline, aiming to capitalize on the heightened interest surrounding the revival of Suits.
The decision to revive the series comes on the heels of its remarkable success on streaming platforms, where it enjoyed a resurgence in popularity.
The prospect of Markle reprising her role as Rachel Zane has been a subject of speculation, further fueled by comments from her former co-star Patrick J. Adams, who expressed openness to a reunion on screen.
While Markle has refrained from confirming her return to the series, she has fondly reminisced about her time on Suits, praising the cast and crew for their camaraderie and the enjoyable experience she had during her seven-season stint on the show.
The spin-off, Suits, Los Angeles, is poised to introduce a new character named Erica, who bears a striking resemblance to Markle’s previous role.
Described as a Harvard Law alum and entertainment law expert, Erica’s character is set to navigate the challenges of the industry while striving for professional success.
Despite the tight-lipped response from NCUniversal and Archewell, Markle and Prince Harry’s production company, industry sources have confirmed the development of Suits, Los Angeles.
Universal International Studios chief Beatrice Springbourne has emphasized the importance of compelling storytelling and character dynamics in ensuring the success of the spin-off.
As the television landscape eagerly awaits Markle’s potential return to the screen, the anticipation surrounding her involvement in Suits, Los Angeles continues to grow, setting the stage for a groundbreaking chapter in her career.
