  SPEAKER_00: Megan Markle joining the Gentleman's Season 3 Acting Comeback explained.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: Hey everyone, it's Gilbert K here.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to my channel.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: Megan Markle, maybe ready to return to acting, and she could be trading royal drama for drug empires, gangsters, and Guy Ritchie's very dangerous version of British high society.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, you heard that correctly.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: The former suit star is reportedly being considered for a role in Netflix the gentleman.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: But before anyone starts designing her costume or preparing her trailer, we need to slow down because the story already has more twists than a guy Ritchie crime series.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: Is Megan really joining the show?
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: Was there ever an official offer?
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: Has the idea already been dropped?
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: Or are we watching a Hollywood publicity machine doing what it does best?
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: Let's break it all down.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: According to that line, Megan Markle had preliminary conversations about appearing in a possible third season of Netflix, The Gentleman.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Variety also reported that discussions were at a very early stage and that no contract has been signed.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: Let me repeat that.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: No contract.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: The role itself was not revealed, and Netflix had not officially ordered season three when the reports appeared.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: So Megan was not secretly filming scenes with Theo James.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody had officially welcomed her to the cast.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: It appears that there were some conversations about what might happen if the series continues.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: But naturally, the moment Meghan Markle's name enters the story, the internet does not walk, it runs.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: Suddenly the conversation became Meghan Markle is returning to acting in a gentleman.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: Not exactly.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: For everyone who hasn't watched the show, let me give you a quick background.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: What is The Gentleman about?
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: The Gentleman is a Netflix crime comedy series created by Guy Ritchie.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: It inspired his 2019 movie of the same name, but the series follows a different group of characters.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: The first season arrived in 2024 and gave us eight episodes filled with crime, money, family problems, very expensive clothing, and people behaving badly inside extremely beautiful homes.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: The main character is Eddie Horneman, played by Theo James.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: Eddie is the second son of the Duke of Halstadt.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: He serves in the British Army and never expects to inherit the family title because his older brother, Freddie, is supposed to receive everything.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: But after their father dies, Eddie gets a surprise, his father leaves the title, the estate, and the family fortune to him instead of Freddie.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: At first, that sounds like Eddie has won the lottery.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: He gets a mansion, land, power, any title.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: Unfortunately, he also inherits a criminal problem hiding underneath the family property.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: A massive cannabis operation has been secretly running on the estate.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: It belongs to Crime Bobby Glass, played by Ray Winston, and the day-to-day business is handed by Bobby's daughter, Susie Glass, played by Keya Scoldalerio.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: Susie is calm, clever, stylish, and dangerous.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: She can have a polite conversation with you while quietly deciding whether you're useful or whether you need to disappear.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: Eddie initially wants nothing to do with this criminal world.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: He wants to remove the drug operation from his property, protect his family, and live a respectable life.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: But that plan lasts about five minutes.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Freddie, Eddie's older brother is darling in bed.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: After making terrible decisions, Daniel Ings plays Freddie as a man who could create a new disaster by simply entering a room.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: Every time Eddie tries to solve one of Freddy's problems, another gangster criminal deal or dead body enters the story.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: And that's where the fun begins.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: Eddie and Susie are forced to work together.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: They meet criminals with unusual personalities.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: They face danger of families, strange business deals, and several people who should never be trusted.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: Eddie slowly discovers that he's surprisingly good at a criminal life.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: And that's one of the most interesting parts of season one.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: Eddie begins the story believing that he's the responsible, honorable member of his family.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: But as he gains more control, he starts enjoying the power.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: By the end of the season, he's no longer simply trying to escape the business.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: Eddie becomes a partner in the Glass Family's criminal empire alongside Susie and Bobby.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: So the first season is really about transformation.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: Eddie inherits a title, but he also discovers a completely different side of himself.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: He goes from gentleman to gangster while somehow keeping the suit perfectly clean.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: So while the show works, just hold on a sec and before we continue, if you enjoy the Gilbert K Show and want to help support the podcast, you can visit the support page linked in the episode description.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: Every bit of support helps me keep bringing you more great conversations, interviews, and entertainment.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: I truly appreciate your being part of the show.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: Now let's get back to it.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: So why the show works.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: What makes the gentleman entertaining is the combination of two very different worlds.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: On one side, we have family titles, private clubs, expensive dinners, and people speaking calmly even when everything is falling apart.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: On the other side, we have gangster drugs, blackmail, violence, and criminal families fighting over territory.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: Guy Richie places these words together and shows us that they may not be as different as the first appear.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: The aristocrats have beautiful manners, but many of them are desperate.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: The gangsters break the law, but some of them follow a stronger code than the rich families.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody wants money, everybody wants power, everybody has something to hide.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: The series also has Guy Richie's familiar style, fast dialogue, dark humor, colorful criminals, sudden violence, and characters who think they are smarter than everyone else.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: This is the word Meghan Markle may be entering.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: What we know about season two.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: Season two was officially put into production with Theo James, Kaya Scalderio, Daniel Engs, Ray Winston, Vinnie Jones, Joel Richardson, and Giancarlo Esposito among the returning cast.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: New actors include Hugh Bonville, Michelle Morone, Benedetta Porcaroli, Sergio Castellotto, and several others.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: Netflix's official description says that the season two takes place one year after Eddie and Susie have been working together in Bobby Glass's criminal empire.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: Their business is expanding beyond the English countryside, including a move toward the Italian lakes.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: But as empire grows, Bobby's decision becomes more unpredictable.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: Eddie and Susie must decide whether to step in or risk losing everything.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: That sounds like a bigger season with more locations, more criminals, and probably more people enjoying dinner shortly before somebody gets shot.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: This brings us to a very important detail.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: The Megan Markle reports concern a possible third season, not the upcoming second season.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Netflix had not officially confirmed season three when the story broke.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: That makes the situation even more uncertain.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: Before Megan can join season three, Netflix needs to order season three.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: That small detail somehow got lost beneath all the headlines.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: How could Megan fit into the series?
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: Now, let's have some fun.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: If this casting actually happens, who could Megan play?
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: One possibility is an American businesswoman who wants to invest in Eddie and Susie's growing empire.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: She could arrive looking professional, friendly, and completely harmless before revealing that she's more dangerous than everyone else.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: She could also play a wealthy outsider entering British high society.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: Think about that for a moment.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: A famous American woman enters a powerful British word filled with old families, private traditions, and people who do not fully trust her.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: Does that sound familiar?
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: Guy Ritchie could have a lot of fun with that idea.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: The role could quietly play with the public's expectation without making a play a direct version of herself.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe her character marries into a powerful family but discovers that their fortune is connected to crime.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe she's a media expert, helping the criminals repair their public image.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: That could be funny.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Your drug empire has a serious branding problem.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: Have you considered changing the logo?
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: Or perhaps she could play a villain.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: A proper villain, not a cameo, not a joke, and not Meghan Markle walking in the party as herself.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: Give her a character with charm, secrets, and a plan.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: Let the audience slowly realize that she has been controlling the situation from the beginning.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: That would be far more interesting.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: Would Megan be right for the show?
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: Megan has acting experience.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: She played Rachel Zayn on Suits for seven seasons before leaving the series ahead of her merge to Prince Harry in 2018.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: Rachel was intelligent, ambitious, and capable of standing her ground against strong personalities.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: Megan also understands the fast dialogue and professional confidence required by a show like Suits.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: But the gentleman would require a different energy.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: Guy Ritchie's characters are often larger than life.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: The dialogue moves quickly, the humor can be dry and strange.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: The performers need to be stylish, threatening, and funny, sometimes within the same scene.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: The biggest challenge would not necessarily be whether Megan can act, the real challenge would be whether viewers could forget that they were watching Meghan Mark.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: Her life becomes such a huge international story that every line would be examined.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: If her character mentioned marriage, Britain, the media, wealth, or difficult families, people would immediately connect it to her real life.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: Some viewers would watch because they support her.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: Others would watch because they dislike her.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: Some people would probably announce that they are boycotting the series and then secretly watch the entire season in one weekend.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: From Netflix's point of view, that curiosity is valuable.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: Megan's return to major scripted series would create free attention around the world.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: Entertainment websites, royal reporters, social media pages, and TV news programs would all cover it.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: The casting announcement alone could become bigger than the trailer, but attention and good casting are not always the same thing.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: If Megan receives a tiny role that exists only to generate headlines, audiences will notice, it could distract from Eddie, Susie, and the story that viewers already care about.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: If she joins, she needs a real reason to be there.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: But has the role already been dropped?
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: Here's where the story becomes confusing.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: Here's where the story becomes confusing.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: After original reports appeared, journalist Tina Brown claimed that Megan's possible casting was no longer moving forward because of a strong negative reaction in the United Kingdom.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: However, Netflix did not officially confirm that Megan had been hired in the first place.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: Megan's representatives also did not confirm that an offer had been made or withdrawn.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_00: Other reporting suggested that conversations might still be continuing.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: So we have reports that she was in early talks, claims that the opportunity was removed, and new claims that may not be over.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: We are discussing the possible cancellation of a possible role in a possible third season of a TV series.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: Hollywood, everybody.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: Until Netflix, Guy Richie, or Megan's team makes an official announcement, this should be treated as a developing story, not a confirmed casting decision.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: My Gilbert K take, and here's my take.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: Megan Marker returning to Acting could be a smart move.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: People have spent years discussing her personal life, her marriage, her relationship with the royal family, and every business project connected to her name.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: Returning to scripted acting could give her the chance to remind audiences what she did before all of that attention.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: And the gentleman could actually be the right kind of show.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's popular, stylish, British, and completely different from suits.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: She would not be returning in a safe legal drama or sweet romantic comedy.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: She would be entering a dark and funny criminal world.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: That would get people talking, but the role must be more than a publicity stunt.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: Do not bring Megan into one scene.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: Give her two clever lines and use her face to promote the entire season.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: Give her a strong, supporting role, let her disappear into a character, make her funny, make her dangerous, maybe even make her the person Eddie and Susie completely underestimate.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: I also don't believe casting decisions should be controlled by online anger before viewers have seen a performance.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: If Guy Ritchie believes Megan is right for the role, let her audition.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: If she earns it, give her the opportunity.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: Then audience can judge the finished performance.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: Because Hollywood casting should not operate like an internet poll.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: Right now, Meghan Markle joining the gentleman is not official.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: Season three is not official.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: Their character is not official.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: Even the reported discussions appear that produce several different versions of the story.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: But if it happens, it will be one of Netflix's most talked-about casting decisions.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: Meghan Markle, Theo James, Caias Calderio, British Aristocrats, Criminal Empires, Family Secrets, and Guy Richie controlling the chaos.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: That combination could be brilliant.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: Or it could become a distraction so large that nobody remembers what the actual story is.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: But what do you think?
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: Would Meghan Markle be a clever addition to the gentleman?
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: And what type of character should she play?
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: And would her return make you more interested in watching, or it push you away?
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: Let me know in the comments below.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's all folks.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you for watching, and that's my Meghan Markle joining the Gentleman Season 3 acting comeback explained.
