Meghan Markle will not be appearing in a Super Bowl commercial which sees her former Suits co-stars reunite to take on the courtroom under the watchful eye of the iconic Judge Judy
Meghan Markle’s Suits co-stars will be seen back together for a new Super Bowl commercial airing on February 11.
The Duchess Of Sussex’s former co-stars Gina Torres, Rick Hoffman, and Sarah Rafferty will all be seen in the advert for e.lf. Cosmetics but Meghan will not make an appearance. The upcoming ad is directed by Zach Woods and will see the Suits legal team appear in Judge Judy’s courtroom.
Rick spoke about meeting the 81-year-old icon as he admitted feeling a little starstruck. He said: “I made a fool of myself. I literally became starstruck just because for years, I grew up watching her. And then ultimately, I was like, ‘I have to ask her to make a video for my mom’.”
The news comes after it was confirmed that Meghan will not be starring in the new planned spin-off show of Suits. Aaron Korsh, who created the hit legal drama, has scripted a brand new show about employees at a Hollywood law firm. One character, Erica, seemed to have been created just for Meghan, but it seems the Duchess of Sussex isn’t ready to make her big acting return just yet.
Sources have claimed Meghan shut down the idea of acting in the project, but she did suggest being involved behind-the-scenes with her production company Archewell. However, it’s thought her idea was rejected by NBC. “Meghan was clear that she didn’t want to be involved as an actor. But Archewell was trying to wiggle its way in as a production company on the spin-off. NBC have killed that idea,” a source told the Daily Mail.
However, other sources told the publication that Archewell would never have been involved in a reboot. The Mirror has approached Meghan’s representatives for comment. Aaron’s new show is being developed by NBCUniversal. It’s currently unclear if any of the original Suits cast will make an appearance in the new series.
Meghan left the original Suits in the season seven finale as her character Rachel Zane tied the knot with Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Adams) and moved to Seattle. Rumours about her potential return started circulating after Patrick admitted he “hopes she comes back.”
He spoke about a potential spinoff for Suits at the Golden Globe Awards and said: “Yes, yes let’s go, I’ll do it. Yeah I’m ready, Mike and Rachel in Seattle.”
Meghan has spoken fondly about her time on Suits and even referred to the cast as her “family”. During a 2017 appearance at the ATX Television Festival, she said: “We were in a group email the other day, and I was saying we’d all lived in the same corporate housing – so on top of working together, we were living together – which makes a whole different dynamic, I think. We just became this whole family right out the gate
