Meghan Markle Resumes Acting Career After 8-Year Break
Meghan Markle is set to return to acting after an eight-year hiatus. According to sources, she has landed a role in the upcoming film titled “Close Personal Friends,” produced by Amazon MGM Studios.
Meghan Markle’s Acting Comeback
This marks the Duchess of Sussex’s first acting role since she left the popular TV series “Suits” in November 2017. At that time, Markle stepped away from her acting career to focus on her duties as a member of the British royal family after marrying Prince Harry in 2018.
Details About the Film
Specific details about Markle’s role in “Close Personal Friends” remain vague. However, various reports suggest she might be portraying herself in the film. The movie features an impressive cast, including:
- Brie Larson
- Lily Collins
- Jack Quaid
- Henry Golding
Amazon has chosen not to comment on the casting news, keeping details under wraps.
Previous Projects and Future Opportunities
Markle’s last project prior to this was the Netflix cooking series “With Love, Meghan.” Unfortunately, the second season of this show struggled to attract a significant audience.
In a 2019 interview, “Suits” creator Aaron Korsh revealed he considered inviting Markle back for a cameo in the show’s final season. Ultimately, he respected her new life and chose not to pursue that option, showing understanding of her transition away from acting.
Looking forward, there have been whispers about Markle possibly appearing in Korsh’s upcoming project “Suits L.A.” However, this endeavor is not a reboot but rather a new direction, reminiscent of franchises like “CSI” and “NCIS,” with fresh characters and settings.
In August, Markle and Prince Harry’s deal with Netflix evolved into a multi-year arrangement, paving the way for more projects under their production company, Archewell Productions. This newfound partnership is expected to offer more substantial opportunities for Markle as she resumes her acting career.
