Suits creator Aaron Korsh has expressed openness to the possibility of Meghan Markle appearing in the upcoming Suits spinoff, Suits LA.

Markle played a key role in the original series, yet may not feature in the new show, as she is reportedly focusing on other projects.

The Duchess of Sussex and wife of Prince Harry, is one of the names many fans expect to see on Suits LA.

Stephen Amell and Bryan Greenberg are also expected to star in the spinoff.

During a Q&A on X, Korsh delved deep into the direction of the new show and its cast. 

He clarified that Suits LA wouldn’t attempt to replace the original Suits cast, yet bringing every single one of them back on board will simply not happen as these actors now have different lives altogether.

 “Not trying to replace our beloved originals. Just a new crew working in a different city handling different kinds of cases,” Korsh said.

 “It seems like people are all wishing it was the originals back. I expected this and can’t blame them. I can only hope they give Suits LA an open-minded try. If they do, I really believe they will grow to love it.”

Despite efforts to focus on the new cast, many fans continued to inquire about the original stars, including Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty.

Korsh admitted he is completely “open” to the idea of the old cast returning, but revealed that his priority is launching the new characters in the upcoming show.

Meghan Markle played the role of Rachel Zane on Suits from 2011 to 2018 but left the show after her engagement to Prince Harry.

Though many fans are hoping for her return, it appears chances of her being a part of the new show are unlikely.

Recently, the Duchess of Sussex was seen helping teen girls affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, and it earned her loads of praise for her efforts.

Due to the destruction caused by the wildfires, Markle also postponed the release of her Netflix cookery show, With Love, Meghan.
