The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is reportedly in preliminary discussions for a role in Netflix's "The Gentlemen," a series created by Guy Ritchie. While the talks are described as being in their very early and hypothetical stages, this potential involvement would mark Markle's first significant acting role since her marriage to Prince Harry.
"The Gentlemen," which stars Theo James, is an action-comedy series that expands on Ritchie's 2019 film of the same name. The series has reportedly been successful, but it has not yet been officially renewed for a third season, making any casting discussions speculative at this point.
Markle and Prince Harry have an existing first-look deal with Netflix, under which they have previously released projects such as the docu-series "Harry & Meghan." This potential role in "The Gentlemen" would align with their ongoing relationship with the streaming platform. Markle has also recently made guest appearances on "MasterChef Australia" and is slated for a cameo in the Amazon MGM Studios movie "Close Personal Friends."
News of these discussions emerges as Markle and Prince Harry, who have been residing in California, have announced plans to return to the UK for an extended period.
