The entertainment world is abuzz with the news that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is in discussions to make her acting comeback in Netflix‘s popular series The Gentlemen. Created by the renowned filmmaker Guy Ritchie the show is a spin-off from his 2019 crime comedy of the same name.
This development comes on the heels of the announcement that Meghan and Prince Harry will be relocating back to the UK from the US after six years. The move has sparked speculation that Meghan’s return to acting could be a significant part of her new chapter.
The Potential Role and Series Details
The discussions are still in the early stages, and no official role has been confirmed. The Gentlemen has not yet been greenlit for a third season, but industry insiders consider it highly likely. The second season is set to premiere in September, featuring returning cast members Theo James and Kaya Scodelario along with new additions like Maya Jama.
The series follows the adventures of Eddie and Susie as they navigate the criminal underworld, facing challenges and making critical decisions that could either elevate or destroy their empire. The show’s blend of crime and comedy has resonated well with audiences and critics alike.

Netflix Deal and Recent Projects
In 2026, Meghan and Prince Harry signed a lucrative deal with Netflix, reportedly worth $100 million. This deal was renewed last year, paving the way for various projects. Meghan’s primary release under this deal was the lifestyle series With Love, Meghan which received mixed reviews from critics.
