Overview

  • Multiple industry outlets reported on Friday that Markle is in early-to-advanced talks with Guy Ritchie to appear in a potential third season of Netflix’s The Gentlemen.
  • Reports say writers are developing a part specifically for her, but no contract has been announced and most outlets note the show’s third season has not been universally confirmed.
  • Representatives for Markle and for Netflix declined to comment, while a small number of outlets published a conflicting claim that Netflix had greenlit Season 3.
  • The talks are described as consistent with Markle and Prince Harry’s existing Archewell first-look arrangement with Netflix and with the series’ U.K.-based production, which ties to the couple’s planned move back to Britain.
  • If completed, the role would be Markle’s first major return to scripted acting since she left Suits in 2017 after only a handful of recent on-screen appearances and a reduced Netflix partnership.
