Overview
- Netflix’s U.K. scripted chief Manda Levin responded “All bets are off” when asked about Meghan Markle’s involvement, a comment made at the Edinburgh TV Festival that left the matter neither confirmed nor denied.
- Industry outlets report Markle has been in very early, preliminary talks to join Season 3 of Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen, but no contract, script details, or episode count have been finalized.
- Netflix officially greenlit a third season of The Gentlemen in late August, while Season 2 promotion continues with a Sept. 3 premiere, giving the show a clear production pipeline but no confirmed casting for Season 3.
- A high-profile claim that an offer was withdrawn after U.K. backlash has circulated, but that account is disputed and has not been verified by Netflix or Markle’s representatives.
- Markle’s possible return to acting is seen in the context of her 2022 comment that she was “done” with acting, a recent small cameo, the couple’s move back to the U.K., and Netflix’s earlier business shifts with her projects.
