Megan Markle's TV aspirations faced a setback as NBC Universal reportedly halted contract negotiations with WME, crushing her hopes for a desired TV role.
However, reports emerged that she was offered a role in a spin-off series of Suits, with NBC greenlighting the project set in Los Angeles. The spin-off, penned by original show creator Aaron Korsh, is said to feature a female lead reminiscent of Megan's previous character, Rachel.
Contrary to earlier speculations about Megan being in control of negotiations, an NBC Universal representative recently confirmed that contract talks had not even begun. Critics remain skeptical about her potential involvement in the Suits reboot, citing her portrayal as "Diana 2.0" and doubts about convincingly taking on a new character in the franchise. Some argue that her attempts to reinsert herself into the spotlight may face challenges, considering her prior exit from the original show and strained relationships with executives.
The skepticism surrounding Megan's TV endeavors persists, with questions about whether it's a genuine deal or a strategic move to regain attention. Megan and Prince Harry faced challenges in Hollywood in 2023, especially after losing a Spotify deal and enduring criticism from industry insiders. Sources close to the couple revealed Megan's heightened concern about finances, given their extravagant spending and lower-than-expected earnings.
Facing financial challenges, Megan reportedly takes charge to address the situation. This development comes as Bennett LaVine, the manager at Archewell Productions, announced his departure, adding to the couple's ongoing struggles. The Sussexes, dealing with crucial challenges like content production deadlines for Netflix before the deal ends in 2025, are reportedly feeling nervous as their financial situation deepens.
