Scott Davis has disclosed that Meghan is not being extended an invitation for the Suits LA spin-off.
Interestingly, she's not the only actress from the original cast missing out; Meghan Markle has reportedly not received an invitation to reprise her role as paralegal Rachel Zane. The upcoming spin-off, Suits LA, is set to commence filming its pilot in April, as reported by Star Lex. This new series will introduce a fresh ensemble led by former New York Federal prosecutor Ted Black, portrayed by Steven AEL, who has transitioned into representing Los Angeles' most influential clients.
The official Suits account, now renamed on Twitter, has confirmed the spin-off's development by sharing an article from Variety, originally published in February, announcing the pilot order for Suits LA. It seems the pilot's success prompted the series to be greenlit, despite initial filming plans slated for later this month. However, Megan Markle's absence is notable, as she hasn't been invited back, unlike the rest of the original cast who secured their roles.
Let's clarify: Meghan Markle was never the star of Suits. In the original series, she held little more than occasional walk-on roles and one-liners in a modest Canadian cable production. Ironically, Meghan and Harry recently revisited Vancouver, where Suits was filmed, spending three days in Canada to commemorate the first anniversary of the winter edition of the Invictus Games. Shortly after their return, Meghan teased a new venture on Instagram—a Lifestyle brand named American Riviera Orchard.
This unveiling follows reports of a trademark application filed early last month. Despite speculations, Meghan's new endeavor might not be a literary sensation. The Duchess of Sussex, having launched American Riviera Orchard, is reportedly set to feature in a new cooking show on Netflix. According to an industry insider, she has dedicated over a year to this project, focusing on her passions and interests. Reactions to Meghan's latest venture have been mixed, with some expressing disinterest and skepticism while others question the longevity of her ideas.
Critics have not been kind to Meghan's ventures, with some suggesting that her efforts lack innovation and originality. The reception to her new lifestyle brand and potential cooking show contrasts sharply with her previous endeavors. Meanwhile, a recent update on the Royal website, featuring Meghan's image from her time on Suits, sparked speculation. Some interpret this as subtle British humor, possibly hinting at Meghan's departure from the Royal family. This speculation is fueled further by parallels drawn between Meghan's life and a synopsis from a Suits episode, where a character receives unexpected news regarding their career.
In a scene reminiscent of Meghan's life, a character arrives with exciting news but faces unexpected challenges. Similarly, Meghan's journey has been marked by highs and lows, with her decisions often under intense scrutiny. The parallels between fiction and reality serve as a reminder of the complexities Meghan faces, both in her career and personal life.
