In an intriguing development, Meghan Markle's representative has reportedly intervened to secure her a role in Kim Kardashian's upcoming movie. Leveraging her prior experience playing a lawyer on the hit show "Suits," Markle expressed her interest in returning to the screen in a similar role. This request came in the wake of her exclusion from the new season of "Suits."
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian has responded to Markle's plea by considering the role of Los Angeles's most successful divorce lawyer and the owner of an all-female law firm in the legal drama. The series is penned by John Robin Bates, the writer of the highly anticipated installment of Murphy's "Feud: Capote vs. the Swans," and Joe Bacon.
The project was initially pitched to Kardashian and Kris Jenner, the manager of the Kardashian-Jenner siblings and an executive producer of their unscripted series. Both were quick to commit to the project. Subsequently, they successfully sold the concept to Hulu, which was eager to capitalize on the success of "The Kardashians" and "AHS: Delicate" on its platform.
While finalizing deals is ongoing, Murphy, Kardashian, and Jenner have already started preliminary casting and brainstorming for the cast, including three other actresses to play Kardashian's glamorous and accomplished love partners, and an A-list actor for her onscreen love interest. Production for the series is expected to commence in late 2024, with a scheduled premiere in early 2025.
Amidst these developments, sources have disclosed Markle's aspirations to secure a role as one of the lawyers in Kim Kardashian's movie. However, it's worth noting that the Kardashians typically cast A-list actors for their projects, which may present challenges for Markle's involvement. As the situation unfolds, it's evident that Markle is eager to make this opportunity happen and may need to explore alternatives, such as pitching ideas to platforms like Netflix.
It's important to acknowledge that Markle's past involvement in "Suits" generated varying opinions, with some viewing her as a secondary figure on the show. Regardless, her interest in a legal role aligns with her real-life pursuit of becoming a lawyer, as she continues her studies for the bar exam, having already passed the baby bar last year.
Moreover, there were earlier rumors that Markle was being considered for a role in the Hulu reality show featuring the Kardashians, though the reality appears to be that she has not been included in their new projects.
