On 21 August 2026, one day before the official announcement of the Sussexes' move to the UK, Deadline and Variety reported on preliminary negotiations between Meghan Markle and Guy Ritchie's team regarding the third season of the Netflix series "The Gentlemen."
The negotiations are at the very earliest stage: the role has not yet been written, the season has not been officially renewed, and representatives for Meghan and Netflix declined to comment. The second season will be released on 3 September, and filming for the third, if it happens, will take place in the British countryside—in the same areas where the Sussexes plan to settle with their children.
What exactly is at stake: not just the return of an actress, but an attempt to integrate Meghan back into the British media landscape after six years of living in California. The success or failure of these negotiations will directly influence how their "new chapter" is perceived by the British public and the royal family.
The story itself seems too neat to be a coincidence. The return to the UK coincided with an offer from a British director whose project is being filmed exactly where the Sussexes will now live. This is not just a job—it is a way to establish a foothold in the country they left in 2020, and at the same time, to remind people of her professional identity, rather than just her status as a member of the royal family.
For Meghan, this is a moment where the personal and professional are intertwined particularly tightly. After "Suits," she consciously stepped away from acting for the sake of marriage and new responsibilities. Now, with two children and a move, she is once again facing a choice: how deeply can one return to the life they once abandoned, and will she lose control over her own image in the process?
Guy Ritchie's series—a comedy about the criminal world of the British aristocracy—could become an unexpected but logical mirror for her own story. However, for now, everything remains at the level of rumors and early discussions, and it is precisely this uncertainty that makes the Sussexes' next move worth watching so closely.
