Meghan Markle, known for her role in Suits, is reportedly seeking a new opportunity in the entertainment industry.
According to sources close to an insider, Markle’s representative has reached out to Ryan Murphy, the creator and executive producer of American Horror Story, in hopes of securing a role in Kim Kardashian’s upcoming movie.
Markle, who played a lawyer on Suits, expressed her desire to return to the screen in a similar capacity.
This plea comes after her removal from the new season of Suits.
Interestingly, Kim Kardashian herself had a response to Markle’s request.
Negotiating her own acting deal, Kardashian is set to portray Los Angeles’ most successful divorce lawyer and the owner of an all-female law firm in a legal drama written by John Robin Bates, the creator of Brothers and Sisters.
The series was pitched to Kardashian and Kris Jenner, the manager of the Kardashian-Jenner siblings and executive producer of their unscripted series.
Both immediately committed to the project, leading to its sale to Hulu.
Hulu, recognizing the success of both the Kardashians and American Horror Story on its platform, quickly acquired the series.
Sources indicate that the streaming service made a straight-to-series order, solidifying its commitment to keeping Kardashian and Jenner involved.
While specific details are still being finalized, preliminary casting has begun, with ideas being explored for three other actresses to portray Kardashian’s love interests, as well as an A-list actor for her on-screen romantic partner.
Production for the series is expected to commence in late 2024, with a premiere date set for early 2025.
However, it seems that Markle’s hopes of joining the project may be dashed.
Insiders suggest that the Kardashians only cast A-list actors, making it unlikely for Markle, whom they consider a Z-list celebrity, to be considered.
Despite this setback, Markle remains determined to make her mark in the entertainment industry.
Rumors have circulated that she is considering pitching ideas to Netflix, but time may be running out for her to secure a new project.
Her previous role on Suits, while not garnering significant attention, gained more interest when rumors of her relationship with Prince Harry began to circulate.
In contrast, Kardashian’s potential role as a lawyer would not be a significant departure from her real-life aspirations.
The reality star has been studying for the bar exam, having already passed the baby bar last year.
However, it appears that Markle’s claims of being invited to participate in a Hulu reality show involving the Kardashians were nothing more than rumors, as she has been dropped from all their new projects.
As Markle continues to seek new opportunities, it remains to be seen whether she will find success in the highly competitive world of entertainment.
For now, all eyes are on Kardashian’s upcoming legal drama, which promises to captivate audiences with its high-end, glossy, and s**y storyline.
