Gina Torres firmly denies granting Meghan Markle a reboot of "Suits," revealing that the Duchess had sought to be the director for a spin-off series.
Meghan had portrayed Rachel Zane in the popular legal drama from 2011 to 2018. NBC Universal has greenlit a spin-off named "Suits Los Angeles," with creator Aaron Korsh scripting six episodes. Despite Meghan's PR agency suggesting she could command over $200,000 per episode, recent discussions with members of the original cast, including Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres, cast doubt on Meghan's involvement in the rumored reboot.
While Meghan's team anticipates a substantial Hollywood deal for the spin-off, recent revelations from Suits cast members challenge her rumored participation. The actors express reservations about being directed by Meghan, highlighting her lack of experience in the director's role. Gina Torres, particularly known for her pointed remarks, has clashed with Meghan in the past. Gabriel Macht, another cast member, has made it clear at the recent Emmys that he neither likes nor wants to discuss Meghan.
The resentment among the cast reportedly stems from Meghan's alleged bitterness towards her castmates, who had better roles during their time on the show. Now that she is the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan is perceived to channel her resentment in petty ways, causing tension among the cast.
The recent Super Bowl commercial for Suits Union, excluding Meghan, further fuels speculation that she might not be part of the spin-off. The new version of Suits is said to feature all-new characters, and the creator has indicated that Meghan will not be included in the reboot.
In an unexpected turn, members of the Suits cast, including Gina Torres, Rick Hoffman, and Sarah Rafferty, have reunited for a commercial promoting a cosmetic product during the Super Bowl. Directed by Zack Woods, known for his work on "The Office," the ad does not feature Meghan Markle.
This absence intensifies the speculation that Meghan might not be part of the spin-off, especially considering the creator's earlier statement about the reboot excluding the Duchess. The reunion highlights the camaraderie among the original cast, leaving fans curious about the direction of the new Suits iteration without Meghan's involvement.
