Meghan Markle’s acting again — Suits star’s eyed for Guy Ritchie’s TV show

Here we are in 2026, and out come the rumours: Meghan Markle might be eyeing a return to acting. And not just any old project — apparently, there have been quiet talks about her turning up in none other than Guy Ritchie's Netflix hit, The Gentlemen. Honestly, it sounds a bit unlikely, but the story is picking up steam online, so let's untangle what's actually happening.

Season 2 of The Gentlemen lands on Netflix on 3 September 2026, but a third season hasn't been officially renewed.

So, what's actually happening?

According to Deadline — who had the original scoop — Markle has been in early discussions about a proper UK-based acting gig, with her name floating around for a possible role in a prospective third season of The Gentlemen. That doesn't mean she's signed on the dotted line, or even that there's a contract at all. Quite the opposite, really: Deadline is clear that these are only whispers for now, nothing confirmed. No word from Guy Ritchie himself, not a peep from Netflix, and Markle's own team isn't saying anything public, either. In short: gossip, not gospel.

Why link Markle to The Gentlemen?

The idea of adding Meghan to the cast isn't entirely random. Her name alone would drag a lot of fresh attention to the series, and she's already got a working relationship with Netflix through that much-discussed first-look deal she shares with Prince Harry. They've already gotten a couple of projects off the ground for the platform, like the 'Harry & Meghan' docuseries and her lifestyle show 'With Love, Meghan'. If Netflix wanted to keep cashing in on royal-adjacent publicity, adding Meghan to a buzzy UK-based series would be a neat fit.

Plus, after half a decade over in the States, the Duke and Duchess have now set up shop back in the UK — which happens to be where The Gentlemen is filmed. Logistically, it lines up. And, from Netflix's point of view, introducing Markle in a future season could pile on the ratings at a moment when streaming platforms seem increasingly desperate for bankable headlines.

• Season 2 of The Gentlemen is locked in for September, but a third season hasn't been given the green light. All this casting talk is based on the hypothetical existence of that next chapter.

Bottom line: there's no official deal, no on-set sightings, nothing more concrete than "early conversations" and a lot of excited speculation. If it does happen, expect every tabloid and half the country to weigh in.
