The news of this new "Suits" series set in the same universe broke earlier this year, following the original show's rising popularity on Netflix after being added to the streaming giant's global catalog in June 2023. However, without Netflix revealing viewership numbers, it's unclear if this is simply a PR move.
The spin-off will follow a former New York federal prosecutor named Ted Black, who has reinvented himself representing powerful clients in Los Angeles. As his personal and professional lives begin to intersect, Ted must adapt to a new role to survive the crisis unfolding at his firm. The show features a cast led by "Arrow" star Steven Ael in the title role, along with Josh McDermitt from "The Walking Dead" and Lex Scott Davis.
While there has been a lot of speculation about Megan Markle's potential involvement, she is not officially part of the cast. However, her former co-star Patrick J. Adams, who played Mike Ross, has hinted at the possibility of both his and Markle's characters returning, stating that "Mike and Rachel in Seattle, they've got to come down to Los Angeles, they've got to fix some stuff."
Another former co-star, Erica Alexander, has even suggested that Markle could pursue a career in U.S. politics, describing her as a "diplomat and an ambassador" with the courage to tackle major issues. Some speculate that Markle could even run for president someday, with Alexander offering to run her campaign.
Despite the lack of confirmed news about Markle's involvement in the "Suits" spin-off, the continued speculation and interest surrounding her future plans, both in entertainment and politics, suggests that she remains a captivating public figure.
