Meghan Markle’s Reported Role in The Gentlemen Season 3: What’s Confirmed

Reports suggest Meghan Markle is considering a role in a potential third season of Netflix’s The Gentlemen. That is not the same as being cast: the series has not officially been renewed for Season 3, no character has been announced, and no deal or filming commitment has been confirmed.

What the reports actually say

The reporting is not fully consistent about the status of the discussions. One report described Meghan as being in “advanced discussions,” while Deadline’s account characterized the conversations as preliminary and “hypothetical” because Netflix has not yet ordered a third season.

The safest conclusion is that Meghan is being considered for a possible role, but the project remains unconfirmed. There is no reliable public information about the character, the size of the part or whether she has formally signed on.

Why this would be notable for Meghan

Meghan was best known for playing Rachel Zane on Suits before stepping away from scripted acting. Reports describe a role in The Gentlemen as her first significant acting job since marrying Prince Harry.

That would make the project a return to substantial scripted television rather than a confirmation that she has resumed a regular acting career. Until a deal is announced, it is more accurate to call this a reported possibility than a comeback.

What The Gentlemen is about

Created by Guy Ritchie, Netflix’s The Gentlemen follows Eddie Horniman, played by Theo James, after he inherits an aristocratic country estate and discovers that it is connected to an underground cannabis operation.

The series is a television spin-off of Ritchie’s 2019 film, but it has its own continuing story and cast. Reports have linked the show’s UK production to countryside locations including the Cotswolds, which helps explain why speculation about Meghan’s possible involvement has been connected to reports of a Sussex return to Britain.

That geographic overlap is circumstantial. Filming in the UK does not establish that Meghan has a role, nor does a possible UK residence confirm a production arrangement.

Season 2 is confirmed; Season 3 is not

The next confirmed installment is The Gentlemen Season 2, which Netflix says will premiere on September 3, 2026. The story resumes a year after Eddie becomes the reluctant heir to his family’s estate. Returning cast members include Theo James, Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson and Vinnie Jones, while Hugh Bonneville is among the additions announced for the new season.
