In the unfolding drama of the century, Megan Markle's absence from her former co-stars' podcast venture is conspicuous.
Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafy, renowned for their roles in the hit TV series "Suits," are reuniting for a podcast, announced by Sirius XM. This podcast aims to delve into exclusive behind-the-scenes insights of the beloved legal drama. Each week, Adams and Rafy will be joined by special guests, including those involved in front of and behind the camera, along with friends and fans of the show.
The reunion of the "Suits" crew for this podcast marks a significant event. Notably, Megan Markle is missing from the action, raising questions about her involvement. The decision by Sirius XM to exclude Markle from this reunion parallels earlier statements by Patrick and fellow co-star Gabriel Macht, who revealed their lack of communication with Megan earlier in the year. The absence of Markle, who left the show in 2018, was particularly evident during the recent Golden Globe Awards, where the "Suits" cast reunited on stage but without her presence.
Despite the absence of Markle, the camaraderie among the remaining cast members was evident. Gina Torres, one of the cast members, mentioned that they didn't reach out to Megan about the Globes reunion due to a lack of contact information. However, the rest of the cast was in constant communication before their on-stage reunion, highlighting the strong bond they share. Nonetheless, Megan's exclusion from such events undoubtedly stings, given her significant role in the show's success.
Meanwhile, Megan has been focusing on her own ventures, including a podcast previously known as "Archetypes," which recently underwent a rebranding. "Suits," which aired on USA Network for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019, gained immense popularity, particularly after its addition to Netflix in June last year. With 134 binge-friendly episodes, it became one of the most streamed shows of 2023.
Amidst the show's resurgence, talks of a spin-off series titled "Suits LA" have emerged. However, sources close to the new show confirmed that Megan has no plans to participate in it. As discussions about the spin-off continue, it's an opportune moment to revisit the original series that captivated audiences worldwide. Patrick and Sarah expressed their excitement about the project, which is currently untitled. They look forward to connecting with the cast, crew, and fans who made "Suits" a phenomenon.
Adam Saak, Senior Vice President of Podcast Content at Sirius XM, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration. He highlighted the network's commitment to bringing listeners closer to their favorite stars, emphasizing the potential of the new podcast to engage the passionate audience of "Suits." As preparations for the podcast continue, anticipation grows for the deep dive into the beloved TV show that left an indelible mark on viewers.
