Before tying the knot with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle dazzled audiences as Rachel Zane in the hit series Suits

Set against the high-stakes backdrop of a dynamic New York law firm, Meghan's character teamed up with Mike Ross, portrayed by Patrick J. Adams.

Their riveting on-screen chemistry eventually led to an eagerly-awaited wedding in season seven - a fitting parallel to Meghan's own nuptials with Harry as she bade adieu to her acting career.

Despite concluding in 2019, Suits found new life when Netflix picked up the show in June 2023, with binge-watchers consuming more than 45 billion minutes of it.

And speaking with Variety in 2023 about the show's lasting charm, Meghan reflected on why it was such a success.

Rumoured to play the role is Arrow star Stephen Amell. Josh McDermitt of The Walking Dead fame is also expected to be a crucial cast member.
