Aaron Korsh Ignores Meghan’s Emails as She Requests $57,000 per Episode for Suits Reboot
In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle's attempts to negotiate her return to the hit TV show Suits have hit a roadblock.
Aaron Korsh, the creator of the show, has reportedly been ignoring her emails, refusing to entertain her demand for a hefty salary of $57,000 per episode.
It appears that Meghan's hopes of reprising her role in the popular legal drama have been dashed.
The news of this development emerged after a recent interview with Suits cast members Gabriel Macht and Gina Torres on the Golden Globes red carpet.
During the interview, they not only teased Meghan's absence from a potential spinoff but also confirmed that she wouldn't be returning for any future Suits projects.
This revelation prompted Meghan's PR agency to issue a statement countering their claims.
According to Meghan's spokesperson, despite the financial challenges she is currently facing, she could potentially earn more than £300,000 per episode if she were to participate in a Suits spinoff.
The spokesperson further revealed that during her time on the show, Meghan earned £37,000 per episode and appeared in over 100 episodes, resulting in an annual salary of £330,000.
Additionally, Meghan continues to receive royalties from her appearances, as part of her contract with the show.
It is worth noting that both Meghan and the other Suits stars receive compensation every time an episode airs in the US or on the NBA Peacock streaming service.
Furthermore, Meghan is expected to receive financial benefits from the show's move to Netflix, adding to her income stream.
These financial incentives may play a significant role in Meghan's decision-making process.
Maya Riaz, a PR expert, believes that Meghan's potential return to Suits could be a strategic move.
Riaz suggests that it would provide an opportunity for Meghan to reconnect with her loyal fan base and attract new viewers to the show.
However, if Meghan were to return, it would likely be in a cameo role rather than a prolonged storyline.
Despite these speculations, Aaron Korsh has firmly denied Meghan's involvement in any Suits spinoff.
He stated that he and NBCUniversal are indeed working on a new show within the Suits universe, but Meghan will not be a part of it.
This aligns with the statements made by the Suits actors at the recent Golden Globes awards ceremony.
While Aaron did not disclose the identity of the cast member who contacted him for a role in the new season, many fans believe it to be Meghan.
Aaron's dismissive response suggests that he does not consider her return to acting to be a wise decision, as it may undermine her credibility.
He even hinted at the physical changes Meghan has undergone since her time on Suits, questioning whether she still possesses the same level of attractiveness.
Furthermore, Aaron emphasized that the absence of key characters like Harvey and Mike would make a revival of Suits impossible.
Even Gina Torres, who had her own spinoff called Pearson, saw it canceled after just one season.
Given these factors, it would be risky to invest such a substantial amount of money in a project that may not guarantee success.
Additionally, it is important to consider the financial landscape of streaming platforms like Netflix.
While they have had a successful year, recent downgrades and a loss of subscribers after a price hike indicate potential challenges ahead.
Netflix has already cut 100 shows from its program offerings and plans to reduce its original content output.
This raises doubts about the likelihood of them paying Meghan $300,000 per episode for a potential Suits revival.
