Netflix Responds Ambiguously to Rumors of Meghan Markle Joining 'The Gentlemen'

Speculation is mounting over a potential acting role for Meghan Markle in Netflix's popular series 'The Gentlemen,' following an enigmatic response from the platform's head of drama series. Manda Levin, when questioned about rumors linking the Duchess of Sussex to the show at the Edinburgh TV Festival, stated, "All possibilities are open." This comment has ignited further discussion about Markle's potential involvement.

Previous reports from Page Six indicated that Markle was being considered for an undisclosed role in the third season of Guy Ritchie's action-comedy series. Hollywood Reporter added that the role is "currently in the writing stage," making it unclear how many episodes she might appear in. A representative for Markle was unavailable for comment, but a Netflix source confirmed the series' renewal for a third season to Page Six.

The series, which premiered in March 2024 with Theo James in the lead role, is set in England and filmed in the United Kingdom, making it a seemingly fitting choice. The second season is slated for release on September 3.

These developments follow recent reports suggesting Markle's potential return to acting. She and her husband, Prince Harry, are reportedly relocating back to England. A source told Page Six on August 21 that "there are some exploratory conversations in the entertainment space and pitches being considered, but nothing has been confirmed yet."

Markle previously ended her partnership with Netflix in March when the platform canceled her lifestyle brand 'As Ever' and did not renew her series 'With Love, Meghan' for a third season. Her acting career notably includes her role as Rachel Zane in the legal drama 'Suits' from 2011 to 2018, before she stepped away from acting in 2017 to focus on royal life.
