Exec Gene Klein Removes Meghan Markle from Suits Reboot, Crushing Comeback Plan

In a recent revelation, Meghan is said to be strategizing an acting comeback as the streaming popularity of her former show, "Suits," skyrockets. The legal drama, which concluded four years ago on the USA Network, has shattered records since its Netflix debut, emerging as the platform's most-watched acquired series in a single measurement week. 

Reports have even suggested that Meghan used her influence to nudge Netflix into boosting the show's viewership numbers, hinting at her eagerness to maintain her standing.

Sources close to Meghan reveal that, spurred by the positive reception of the show's reruns and the demand for her on-screen presence, she's feeling compelled to re-enter the acting scene. As other opportunities seem to dwindle, Meghan is now gearing up for a return to her acting roots, with full support from her husband, Harry.

Meghan's role as paralegal Rachel Zane on "Suits" spanned seven seasons before her character was written out of the storyline. Prior to her involvement in "Suits," she had worked on smaller projects, including appearances on shows like "General Hospital," "CSI," and even the "Knight Rider" reboot. While Meghan initially declared her departure from acting after marrying Harry, insiders hint that her desire for a comeback has been growing. The only hurdle remaining seems to be her role as the Duchess of Sussex, which complicates her return to the entertainment world.

While Meghan's enthusiasm for a comeback is palpable, the "Suits" creators have taken a different stance. Executive producer Gene Klein has suggested that the show's recent success can't be solely attributed to Meghan. Despite the buzz surrounding the show's record-breaking viewership, Klein focuses on its re-watchability and unique viewer experience. The producers express their respect for Meghan's current royal role, but their decision to move forward without her in the next season indicates a clear path for the show's legacy.

Klein's recent comments have cast doubt on the possibility of Meghan's return to "Suits." He acknowledges that the show's positive reception could lead to reboot discussions in this era of entertainment, but he emphasizes that Meghan's involvement is unlikely due to her new life as the Duchess of Sussex. With this stance, it appears that Meghan's acting comeback might not include a return to the legal drama that initially propelled her into the spotlight.
