Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, might be poised for a return to the small screen as her former show, “Suits,” undergoes a resurgence, claiming a spot on Netflix’s highly coveted ‘most watched’ list.
Recent reports from The Mirror suggest that the legal drama, in which Meghan portrayed the character of paralegal Rachel Zane, has been achieving impressive feats by “shattering download records.”
During the week spanning from June 26th to July 2nd, the show tallied a remarkable 3.1 billion minutes of viewership. This astonishing revival has ignited intriguing speculations about Meghan’s possible reentry into the world of acting that she once flourished in.
While it has been reiterated that Meghan’s primary focus has shifted away from acting, the astonishing success of “Suits” since her departure has led to contemplation about the possibility of her return to the show, should it be considered for a reboot.
An insider quoted in the report delineated the shift in perception: “The landscape has dramatically changed due to Meghan’s rekindled association with ‘Suits’. The Netflix viewership statistics have reverberated across Hollywood and irrespective of differing opinions on her, Meghan undeniably emerges as the driving force propelling this surge.”
The source further remarked on Meghan’s undeniable allure: “Regardless of public sentiment, her magnetic appeal remains undeniable, and her advisors at WME (William Morris Endeavor) are acutely aware that she now commands the stature to secure A-list caliber compensation for her involvement in potential film or television projects.”
Nonetheless, Meghan’s official stance on the prospect of her return to acting was clarified upon her signing with talent agency WME. In an official statement issued in April, her agency firmly articulated her position: “Meghan Markle has clarified that she will not resume on-camera roles and will not revive her acting career.”
As Meghan Markle’s star continues to shine both sides of the Atlantic, the delicate interplay between her previous career and her present role as a prominent member of the British royal family remains an enigmatic and captivating subject for discussion, capturing the imagination of audiences globally.
