Meghan Markle has spoken out about the highly anticipated Suits spin-off in a recent interview.
Fans of the hit courtroom drama have been eager to hear what the Duchess of Sussex, who appeared in seven seasons of the program, thinks of its revival.
Stephen Amell is at the forefront of the new series Suits: LA, which revolves around his character Ted Black.
The former federal prosecutor relocates his formidable practice from New York to Los Angeles, where he must negotiate a difficult moment as his firm faces a crisis.
Black is forced to play a part he despises throughout his career in order to survive, all while coping with demons from his past that have returned to haunt him.
The series began on NBC on February 23, and fans in the United States may watch Suits: LA on Peacock.
Producer Aaron Korsh produced both programs, and he assured fans that he wasn’t ‘trying to replace the beloved’ original ensemble when the show debuted a few weeks back.
“This cast is great, in my opinion,” he wrote on X in January. “We’re not attempting to replace our cherished originals. Just a fresh staff in a different place addressing a variety of situations.”
Markle appears to agree with Korsh, based on her comments in her latest interview with People magazine.
When asked what she thought of Suits: LA, the 43-year-old mother of two responded succinctly.
Markle expressed her admiration for the fresh approach, mentioning that she still holds a memento from the first episode of Suits.
The actress, who portrayed paralegal Rachel Zane on the program, added, “It’s a time capsule for me; I still have the pencil skirt from the first episode! That’s the only thing I retained.
Her former Suits co-stars and Korsh have explored the possibility of her returning to the show, which she left at the end of Season 7.
Everyone expressed their eagerness to welcome Markle back, yet uncertainty lingered over whether the Duchess would wish to revive her acting career.
Korsh told People last month that she has an ‘open invitation’ to repeat her part in some way, but he is unclear whether it ‘would be too much of an explosion of the fourth wall.’.
“We have thought about whether it will be Meghan or any of the other cast members coming on and playing themselves as actors,” according to the suit’s creator.
“I think, for me, that’s a bit… my mind explodes at the notion of it. Obviously, Meghan may return under any conditions.
Patrick J. Adams, who portrayed Markle’s on-screen love interest, Mike Ross, added that Suits and the whole entertainment business would be “fortunate to have Meghan back.”
“Yes, Mike and Rachel are in Seattle,” the actor clarified. “They need to come down to LA and correct some issues.
“If we get the phone call, or if I get the phone call, I’m ready to suit up again.” I adore the show, I love the characters, and I enjoyed working with everyone.”
