Meghan Markle is looking at a return to acting. The Duchess of Sussex is in early talks to join the cast of Netflix’s popular crime series ‘The Gentlemen’ for its potential third season. This news arrives shortly after reports surfaced that she and Prince Harry are planning to move back to the United Kingdom for an extended period.
The show, created by Guy Ritchie, has not yet been officially renewed for a third season. Season 2 is scheduled to premiere on September 3, 2026. Meghan’s potential role has not been disclosed, and no contract is in place. Representatives for Meghan and Netflix have declined to comment on the reports.
Meghan Markle’s Possible Role in ‘The Gentlemen’
According to Variety, Meghan Markle is considering a role in the Netflix crime comedy. The series stars Theo James as Eddie Horniman, an aristocratic soldier who inherits his late father’s estate. He soon discovers the property is home to a large underground cannabis empire.
The potential casting is still in very early stages. Deadline was the first to report that the former ‘Suits’ star has had preliminary conversations to join the show for Season 3. Sources caution that the talks are hypothetical at this point because the series has not been renewed yet.
Meghan’s character has not been revealed. It is unclear whether the conversations will lead to a deal. However, the move would make sense as the show films in the UK, where Meghan and Harry are planning to relocate.
The Show’s Success and Second Season
‘The Gentlemen’ first season was a hit for Netflix. The upcoming second season will continue the story of Eddie and Susie, played by Kaya Scodelario. The official logline for Season 2 states that it has been one year since Eddie and Susie joined forces to work together in Bobby’s criminal empire overseas. As they drive to expand their enterprise, the decisions Bobby is making seem increasingly unsound. Eddie and Susie must decide whether to take action or risk losing everything.
The series is based on the 2019 film of the same name, also directed by Guy Ritchie. Season 2 will premiere on September 3, 2026. A third season is expected to be announced soon, according to People magazine.
Potential Cast for Season 3
If ‘The Gentlemen’ is renewed for a third season, the cast will likely include returning actors from Season 2. These include Theo James, Kaya Scodelario, Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, Hugh Bonneville, Benedetta Porcaroli, Michele Morrone, Sergio Castellitto, Amra Mallassi, Tyler Conti, Chris Eubank Jr., Benjamin Clementine, and Maya Jama. Other cast members from Season 2 include Vinnie Jones, Jasmine Blackborow, Michael Vu, Harry Goodwins, Ruby Sear, and Pearce Quigley.
Meghan Markle would be a new addition to this ensemble. Her potential involvement would bring significant attention to the show. It would also mark her first major acting role since leaving ‘Suits’ in 2018.
Meghan Markle’s Return to Acting
Meghan Markle is best known for her role as Rachel Zane in the legal drama ‘Suits’. She starred in the show for seven seasons from 2011 to 2018. After marrying Prince Harry in 2018, she stepped back from acting.
She has continued to appear on screen in other ways. She hosted the Netflix lifestyle series ‘With Love, Meghan’. She also appeared as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia. She is set to make a cameo as herself in the upcoming Amazon MGM comedy ‘Close Personal Friends’. The film stars Brie Larson and Lily Collins.
A return to acting in a Netflix series would be a significant step for Meghan. She already has an established relationship with the streamer through Archewell Productions. She and Prince Harry have a first-look deal with Netflix for film and TV projects. They have produced several projects together, including the docuseries ‘Harry & Meghan’ and ‘Heart of Invictus’.

The news about Meghan’s potential acting role comes after a significant announcement. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the UK for an extended period. The couple had been living in California for the past six years. They stepped down from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US.
Their children, Archie and Lilibet, are expected to begin school in September. The move is expected to be for an “extended period,” although the couple will retain their home in Montecito, California. They do not intend to relocate their production banner Archewell or lifestyle brand As Ever to the UK.
Harry and Meghan will continue as non-working royals. Their return to the UK has generated significant media attention. It also aligns with the filming location of ‘The Gentlemen’, which is shot in London and countryside locations across England. This could make it easier for Meghan to take on the role if the deal goes through.
The potential casting is still uncertain. Netflix has not officially ordered a third season of ‘The Gentlemen’. Meghan’s involvement depends on the show receiving another season order. Sources have described the talks as very early and hypothetical.
Despite the uncertainty, the news has created excitement among fans. Meghan’s return to acting would be a major development in her career. It would also be her first major scripted role since ‘Suits’. The combination of her star power and Guy Ritchie’s popular series could make for a compelling project.
