But she also gave herself some wiggle room, adding, \u201cI guess never say never.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, she is, indeed, returning to her roots. Last spring, it was announced that Meghan signed with top talent agency WME and is being repped by its CEO himself, <strong>Ari Emanuel<\/strong>. Though the focus for Meghan and Archewell, the entertainment companyshe founded with Harry, was understood to be film and TV series development and production as well as business and brand partnerships, that\u2019s likely not all that\u2019s on the agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s no secret that Meghan is waging a Hollywood comeback,\u201d an insider exclusively tells <em>Life &amp; Style<\/em>. \u201cHer royal princess days are over, so she misses the spotlight and attention \u2014 and needs the money.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Curiosity Explodes<\/h2>\n<p>As a matter of fact, the Sussexes\u2019 lucrative agreement with Spotify, worth a reported $20 million, was unexpectedly terminated last summer after they made just one 12-episode podcast series.<\/p>\n<p>But audiences are seemingly still interested in what Meghan has to offer: <em>Suits<\/em> became the most-streamed show of 2023 following its addition to Netflix\u2019s lineup last June.<\/p>\n<p>The unexpected popularity surge occurred four years after the USA Network series went off the air. \u201cMeghan loves that that happened, and she\u2019s had conversations about appearing on the new <em>Suits<\/em> spinoff,\u201d reveals the insider. \u201cIt\u2019s all so exciting!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In January, Meghan\u2019s onscreen husband, actor <strong>Patrick J. Adams<\/strong>, admitted he was open to a return and thought Meghan could be, too. A possible storyline for the fresh, City of Angels-set series? Their Seattle-based characters \u201cgotta come down to L.A.,\u201d he quipped. \u201cThey gotta fix some stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Suits<\/em> universe isn\u2019t all that\u2019s on the table, though. \u201cIt\u2019s still very hush-hush, but Meghan\u2019s also already landed, or is close to landing, multiple TV and film roles,\u201d claims the insider. \u201cMeghan has celebrated her comeback by throwing a private dinner party with her A-list friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the insider, the guest list has included names like <strong>Serena Williams<\/strong> as well as <strong>Ellen DeGeneres<\/strong> and <strong>Kevin Costner<\/strong>, who live near the Montecito, California, estate Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, share with their kids, Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2.<\/p>\n<p>However, she soon hopes to be in a room with even more star power. \u201cMeghan\u2019s trying to get an invite to the Oscars. She doesn\u2019t just plan to attend \u2014 she wants to present an award, too,\u201d dishes the insider. \u201cBeing on that stage would send a huge message that she\u2019s officially back.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Big Plans<\/h2>\n<p>Meghan\u2019s admitted that she missed Hollywood and enjoyed being back in the fold as she and Harry made their self-titled 2022 docuseries and Archewell\u2019s 2023 Invictus Games show for Netflix. \u201cMy husband has never worked in this industry before. For me, having worked on <em>Suits<\/em>, it\u2019s so amazing to be around so much creative energy,\u201d she told <em>Variety<\/em>. \u201cThat\u2019s been really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Netflix\u2019s chief content officer recently confirmed that the Sussexes were working on \u201ca couple of unscripted things\u201d again, in addition to a film \u2014 which could be related to their 2023 purchase of the book rights to the novel <em>Meet Me at the Lake<\/em> \u2014 and a series that is in \u201cvery early development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, Meghan confessed she\u2019d like to get behind \u201ca good rom-com. Don\u2019t we miss them? I miss them so much. I\u2019ve probably watched <em>When Harry Met Sally<\/em> a million times. And all the <strong>Julia Roberts<\/strong> rom-coms. We need to see those again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This time, claims the insider, Meghan hopes to be in the lead role. \u201cMeghan\u2019s return to Hollywood is fraught with high expectations and a boatload of concerns,\u201d says the insider, \u201cbut she\u2019s not looking back.
