Meghan Markle’s Potential Return to TV Sparks Speculation and Excitement
The ATX TV Festival made a thrilling announcement on Monday, revealing plans for a five-year anniversary panel featuring the cast and creator of the hit USA Network show, Suits.
The highly anticipated event will involve a captivating conversation with the show's creator and showrunner, Aaron Korsh, as well as cast members Sarah Rafferty, Patrick J. Adams, and Julie Hill.
While the festival promises more surprises in the coming months, fans are left wondering if Meghan Markle, who gained fame for her role as paralegal turned lawyer Rachel Zane, will also make an appearance.
Interestingly, Meghan Markle's Hollywood agents are currently engaged in negotiations for a significant TV comeback deal.
It seems that NBCUniversal has given the green light for a high-budget sequel to Suits, created by Aaron Korsh himself.
While Meghan's PR team claims that NBC executives are willing to pay any amount to have her return to the legal drama, discussions between her agency, WME, and NBC are still ongoing regarding her reprising the role of Rachel Zane.
Reports suggest that Meghan has requested a staggering $20 million for this new deal.
However, doubts have emerged regarding her current acting capabilities.
In April, upon signing with WME, Meghan's agency stated that her focus would not be on acting or building a career as a movie star.
Surprisingly, Meghan now appears to be interested in returning to the world of acting, despite not having any major projects or production commitments at the moment.
Critics argue that Meghan's acting talent may not be sufficient for leading roles, emphasizing the availability of more qualified actors.
WME has suggested that if Meghan cannot commit full-time, she could instead make highly lucrative special guest appearances.
However, Meghan has expressed her desire for a part-time role with a significant salary, raising questions about the feasibility of such an arrangement.
Highlighting the success of Suits and its substantial viewership on Netflix, WME has underscored the show's entertainment value during the pandemic.
Nevertheless, some critics question Meghan's influence on the show's popularity, as she was not a main star.
They argue that her association with the royal family may have brought attention to the show, rather than her acting prowess.
According to the Daily Mail, Meghan's recent appearances suggest that she is actively seeking work and recognition.
This burst of A-list and Hollywood outings is seen as a strategic move to create a fresh buzz around her name and attract lucrative opportunities.
Mark Bukowski, Britain's leading PR guru, believes that Meghan is being advised to send signals indicating her desire to return to TV and film.
At the Variety event last week, Meghan teased the press about exciting new projects she and Prince Harry are eager to announce.
Bukowski sees this tactic as a way for Meghan to gain recognition and establish connections for fundraising activities.
During the Variety Power of Women gala, Meghan was seen mingling with Hollywood heavyweights such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Oprah Winfrey.
She sat at a table with the team from Universal, who oversee the movie and TV business.
Additionally, she posed for photos with a former Spielberg protégé, now involved in running the organization behind the Oscars.
Meghan was seated next to her Uber agent, Brad Slater, who also represents renowned actors Ben Affleck, Dwayne Johnson, and her longtime friend Serena Williams.
Bukowski suggests that this appearance was part of a strategy employed by publicists to generate excitement and gossip, particularly on social media.
By associating herself with influential figures in the movie industry and hinting at exciting projects, Meghan is creating the necessary buzz that both traditional and digital media thrive upon.
As fans eagerly await further updates from the ATX TV Festival, the speculation surrounding Meghan Markle's potential return to television continues to grow.
Will she grace the Suits anniversary panel?
Can her acting skills meet the demands of a leading role?
