Former Suits co-stars of Meghan Markle have extended an invitation to the Duchess of Sussex to feature in their new podcast, where they revisit episodes of the popular legal drama. Known for her role as paralegal Rachel Zane before marrying Prince Harry, Markle’s portrayal garnered a huge following. Last year, the series premiered on Netflix, amassing a record-breaking 26.5 billion minutes watched in just eight weeks, captivating a new wave of fans.
Markle appeared on the show for seven seasons, culminating in her character’s marriage to Mike Ross, played by Patrick J Adams. Adams, alongside Sarah Rafferty, who portrayed Donna Paulsen, will revisit the show for the first time on Sirius XM’s Sidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast. They aim to discuss episodes, reminisce about filming experiences, and conduct interviews with other cast members, including Gina Torres (Jessica Pearson) and showrunner Aaron Korsh.
Expressing excitement about potential guest appearances on the podcast, Rafferty highlighted the supportive atmosphere among the cast members. She looks forward to engaging with various behind-the-scenes contributors, such as wardrobe and set design personnel, to unveil the show’s intricate storytelling process. Markle, who was pleasantly surprised by the resurgence of interest in the series, praised the enjoyable experience of working on Suits alongside a talented ensemble.
During a red carpet interview at Variety’s Power of Women event last year, Markle expressed delight at the show’s enduring popularity. The Duchess fondly recalled her time on the series, emphasizing the strong bond amongst the cast and crew over the seven seasons she was involved.
With the podcast set to delve into the world of Suits, fans await potential guest appearances from Markle and other key figures involved in the making of the beloved legal drama. The opportunity to revisit memorable moments and engage with the cast’s personal insights promises an enriching experience for both listeners and participants alike.
