Backlash halts Meghan Markle’s Netflix comeback on The Gentlemen
TL;DR
Meghan Markle’s planned acting comeback on Netflix’s The Gentlemen appears derailed after UK backlash prompted Tina Brown to claim her season-3 casting has been withdrawn; the third season hasn’t been officially greenlit and season 2 is set to premiere soon. Markle had been in talks to join Theo James and Kaya Scodelario, marking her first major acting role since 2017, though she recently cameoed in Close Personal Friends. If she resumes acting, industry leaders would likely be keen to work with her, and reports have linked the move back to the UK to this potential gig.
