Overview
- Deadline and other outlets reported this week that Markle has been in early discussions to join Season 3 of Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series after the show was greenlit for a third season.
- Netflix UK scripted chief Manda Levin declined to rule out the casting on stage at the Edinburgh TV Festival on Wednesday, saying, “All bets are off,” without offering confirmation.
- Multiple industry sources told reporters the conversations are very preliminary, that no formal role or contract exists, and that the part may still be being written.
- A high-profile claim that Netflix withdrew an offer after UK backlash has circulated but remains unverified and is disputed by other sources.
- The story is tied to the Sussexes’ announced return to the U.K. and their Netflix first-look deal, which helps explain why tentative talks quickly drew major attention and could affect promotion and public reaction to the series.
