Variety suggests that the success of 'Suits' on Netflix and Peacock in 2023 fueled the rumors of the spin-off. Not only does it seem like Meghan might secure a starring role, but reports also hint at her getting the chance to direct an episode – a potential Hollywood directorial debut. Sources claim that contract talks are in progress between NBC Universal and talent agency WME, touting it as one of the biggest TV deals of the year. The insider asserts that Meghan is in control, and they're prepared to offer a lucrative deal to bring her on board. Rumors circulate that an official announcement could happen next month, with production commencing shortly after. However, in a conveniently timed twist, an NBC Universal representative has stepped in to rain on Meghan's parade, confirming that contract talks haven't even started.
It all sounds a bit too staged. Critics argue that Megan's track record, including her portrayal as Diana 2.0, suggests this might be another theatrical performance. Skepticism arises due to her turbulent exit from the royal family and doubts about her ability to convincingly portray a new character in the same franchise. Moreover, at her age, attempting to pass as a woman in her 30s raises eyebrows even in Hollywood.
The situation is laden with Meghan's fingerprints, as she seemingly tries to reinsert herself into the spotlight. The reboot, proposed by the show's creator Aaron K, is meant to feature all-new characters. Critics argue that Megan burned bridges with K and other executives, as well as the cast and crew of 'Suits,' thinking she had left it all behind. However, she now appears to be back, seeking a role in the new version. The skepticism persists – is this a real deal or just another smoke-and-mirrors act from Meghan? Regardless, the odds of her pulling this off seem as slim as a supermodel on a juice cleanse.
