‘Suits’ star Patrick Adams reveals if Meghan Markle will return for reboot

Members of the Pearson Hardman law firm reunited at the 2024 Golden Globes Awards.

Patrick Adams dished about a potential “Suits” spinoff on Sunday’s red carpet.

“We found out about — well, it’s not a revival — but a ‘Suits’ spinoff. I think it’s all in early stages. But what did they say? It’s a show in the ‘Suits’ universe. Like a ‘Suits LA,'” Adams said before the ceremony.

He added, referring to show creator Aaron Korsh, “Anyway, our fearless showrunner Aaron’s working on that. And if we got the phone call, if I got the phone call, I’m ready to suit up again. I love the show, I love the character. And I loved working with all these people.”

Although Adams claimed producers “didn’t tell us anything” about the potential new series, he said it would be a “completely separate world within the ‘Suits’ world.”

When asked whether or not he thought Meghan Markle, his co-star-turned-estranged royal member, would ever rejoin the series, Adams replied, “Sure. Mike and Rachel in Seattle. They gotta come down to LA, they gotta fix some stuff,” he said of his and Markle’s character.

“She’s pretty popular right now,” he added about the Duchess of Sussex. “Did you hear about Meghan? I’ll tell you later,” he joked.

Other “Suits” cast members, Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres, joined Adams and Gabriel Macht during the ceremony to present an award.

The series aired from 2011 until 2019 on USA Network and also starred Rick Hoffman, Abigail Spencer, and Dulé Hill.

“Suits” experienced a major resurgence in popularity when it was added to Netflix in June, reaching a record-breaking viewership number at the time.

However, she left the show and retired from acting in 2018 to marry Britain’s Prince Harry.

The series followed the lives of lawyers working together in the Big Apple.

In October 2023, it was announced that the “Suits” universe is reportedly expanding. Korsh is partnering with NBCUniversal for the untitled series, which will not be a reboot or a spinoff of the original series.

Some members of the “Suits” cast are set to reconnect once again at the ATX TV Festival later this year to mark the series finale’s five-year anniversary.

The panel will include a conversation with Korsh, alongside Rafferty, Adams and Hill.

The foursome will head to Austin, Texas, from May 30 to June 2 for the event.

Markle and Harry have a strong relationship with Netflix, having signed a $100 million agreement in 2021 to create shows and other content.

The pair dropped their bombshell docuseries “Harry & Meghan” on the streaming service in 2022, where it amassed 81.6 million hours watched.

When walking the red carpet at Variety’s Power of Women event in Los Angeles late last year, the Duchess of Sussex touched on her old show’s newfound popularity.

“Isn’t that wild?” she gushed to Variety. “It was great to work on, such a great cast and crew. We had a really fun time. I was on it for seven seasons, so quite a bit.

“But it’s hard to find a show you can binge-watch that many episodes of these days, so that could have something to do with it. But good shows are everlasting,” Markle added.

Many of her former “Suits” co-stars attended her wedding, including Adams, Torres, Spencer and Hoffman.

Adams also posted a throwback video of Markle dancing up a storm during a cast party back in 2012. 

Adams shared the clip to his Instagram Stories highlights reel in September. It showed the then-future royal grooving to the track “Heads High” by Mr. Vegas at an undisclosed bar.

Just before posting the clip, Adams hilariously changed his Instagram bio to read: “The guy from that show you’re watching on that app because that girl married that prince.”
