'Suits' Creator Reveals Whether Meghan Markle Could Make a Cameo on New Spinoff
- Suits LA, the second-ever spinoff of the popular legal drama, will premiere on Sunday, Feb. 23, focusing on entertainment law on the West Coast.
On Sunday, Feb. 23, the second-ever Suits spinoff will premiere. Suits LA brings the action over to the West Coast, primarily handling a different type of law: Entertainment. The original series served as the jumping-off point for the career of many, most notably Meghan Markle. Before she was the Duchess of Sussex, she had starred on the first seven seasons of the legal drama as Rachel Zane.
Of course, working in entertainment law, Suits LA features the opportunity for plenty of celebrities to appear as themselves, asking for Ted Black ( Stephen Amell) and company's help in their careers. So, does that increase the chances of Markle returning to the Suits universe, as either Rachel Zane or even in a cameo as herself?
"So, look, to me, we have thought about whether it be Meghan or any of the other cast members coming on and playing themselves as an actor," Suits creator Aaron Korsh told People on the red carpet of the Suits LA premiere on Feb. 20. "I think for me that's a little...My brain blows up at the thought of that."

"I think it blows up the world too much," he admits. "Obviously, if Meghan wants to come back under any circumstances, Meghan can come back."
Korsh went on to enthusiastically declare his former star had an open invitation to come back to Suits LA or any project if she so desired. "Of course. Always. But I think realistically, it would be too much of an explosion of the fourth wall to do that."

Markle was a main cast member on Suits as a paralegal. Though she starts as a friend of Mike Ross ( Patrick J. Adams), the two eventually develop feelings for each other. Korsh wrote Markle out of the series in 2018 once she had struck up her own off-screen romance with Prince Harry so she could pursue her relationship abroad. Her final episode of Suits aired only a month before she and Harry tied the knot.
That said, fans of the original Suits can expect at least one cameo in the new spinoff. It's already been announced that Gabriel Macht will drop by the series, reprising his role as Harvey Specter. Hopefully this opens up the door for Rachel Zane to eventually head out west for her much-anticipated return to the Suits universe!
