The Suits universe just keeps expanding. With the upcoming spinoff Suits LA set to premiere in February, creator Aaron Korsh recently hosted a Q&A session on X, and the conversation quickly veered from the new cast-Stephen Amell and Bryan Greenberg-to the original stars of the hit legal drama.
Fans had one big question: Could any of the original Suits cast members, including Meghan Markle, make a return?Korsh tried to steer the spotlight toward the new series and its fresh characters, but it was clear where fan interest lay. “I expected this,”Korsh admitted, acknowledging the love for the OG crew while staying focused on introducing his new show.
Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, was a key part of Suits for seven seasons, playing Rachel Zane, a determined paralegal-turned-lawyer. Her departure in 2018 coincided with her engagement to Prince Harry, leaving fans to wonder if they’d ever see her in the role again.
But Korsh’s Q&A sparked fresh speculation. While emphasizing his commitment to Suits LA, he didn’t shy away from saying he’s “open” to the idea of bringing back original cast members someday. Fans latched onto one intriguing detail: Korsh mentioned having an “interesting proposal” for Markle, though he kept the details under wraps.
Can Meghan Markle’s possible return to Suits rewrite the narrative?
Timing is everything, and for Markle, the idea of stepping back into a role she once thrived in might feel particularly relevant. Recently, she’s faced harsh criticism, including a Vanity Fair profile that alleged she’s difficult to work with, painting a picture of strained professional relationships. This has led some industry insiders to speculate that reconnecting with a beloved show like Suits could help rehabilitate her public image.
On the other hand, Markle’s supporters have countered these narratives, sharing stories of her kindness and generosity. Former staff members described her and Harry as caring and thoughtful employers. Amid these mixed perceptions, a return to Suits might remind audiences why they fell in love with her in the first place-on-screen charisma that made Rachel Zane unforgettable.
For Korsh, a guest spot or even a brief cameo from Markle could inject buzz into Suits LA and help bridge the gap between loyal fans of the original series and a new audience. For Markle, it’s an opportunity to reintroduce herself in a space where she’s universally admired, without the complicated baggage of royal life.
Right now, it’s all talk. Korsh is focused on building his new cast and establishing Suits LA on its own merits. But the door isn’t closed, and that “interesting proposal” he hinted at suggests there’s at least a possibility. With Suits LA premiering in February and Markle’s postponed Netflix series With Love, Meghan rescheduled for March, the timing couldn’t be more convenient.
Whether Markle steps back into Rachel Zane’s shoes or stays on the sidelines, the Suits legacy continues to evolve. And fans will undoubtedly be watching to see what unfolds.
