Would Meghan Markle Return for a Suits Reboot?
Now that Suits is on Netflix, new audiences are finding the legal drama—and loving it. The show has been in the Top 10 on Netflix for weeks, and in just one week, it had a record 3.1 billion minutes viewed across Netflix and Peacock.
Could a revival be in the show's future? Suits executive producer Gene Klein thinks so.
"In this era of reboots and reunions and all this other stuff, that I’m expecting a call at some point," Klein told TVLine. "But I’m not aware of any serious conversations. It’s just one of those things where, in this day and age, you wouldn’t be surprised if somebody called you someday. But so far, nothing that I’m aware of."
When the interviewer asked if cast member Meghan Markle would return as fan-favorite Rachel Zane, he replied simply, "I would assume that’s just not possible." But he didn't rule it out completely!
In Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, he writes about Meghan giving up her role on Suits after season seven. "Meg packed up her house, gave up her role in Suits. After seven seasons. A difficult moment for her, because she loved that show, loved the character she was playing, loved her cast and crew—loved Canada," he wrote. "On the other hand life there had become untenable. Especially on set. The show writers were frustrated, because they were often advised by the Palace comms team to change lines of dialogue, what her character would do, how she would act."
Suits starred Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Rick Hoffman, Sarah Rafferty, Gina Torres, among others. "It was a complicated dance keeping everybody involved, getting all the actors deals done and keeping them involved through the end of the show," Klein said. "I’d be surprised if we could thread that needle for a reunion, but I’d also be delighted if that happened because [when] you do a show for that long, everybody becomes such a good friend."
