“I just texted one of our directors, Mike Smith. Rachael Harris had some comments on our Instagram Live this morning, I can’t wait for Sheila Sazs to be introduced on the show. I can’t wait to talk to Max Beesley and all the British actors we had.”
The podcast is “dedicated to revisiting and breaking down” the hit legal drama, featuring “special guests who starred both in front and behind the camera,” as well as friends and fans of the show.
Suits originally aired on USA Network for nine seasons, from 2011 to 2019, and saw genius college dropout Mike Ross (Patrick) join a high-profile Manhattan law firm, with Sarah taking on the role of no-nonsense assistant Donna Paulsen.
The Duchess played Rachel Zane – a paralegal who becomes a formidable lawyer and eventually marries Ross.
Suits was added to Netflix last June and quickly attracted viewers with its binge-friendly catalog of 134 episodes, while skyrocketing to the most streamed show of 2023.
Earlier this year, it was reported that a spin-off series titled Suits: LA was in the works – four years after the original show that put Meghan in the spotlight ended.
It comes after Patrick recently revealed that he was ‘zero communication’ with his former on-screen love interest.

Patrick added: ‘Zero. No, no communication.’
The actor then jokingly pretended to get a call and said, “Oh, wait a minute. There she is. Oh, I have to go.”
At the Golden Globes in January, Patrick and Gabriel presented the award for best TV drama before being joined by fellow stars Gina Torres and Sarah.

Gina spoke to Variety on the red carpet asked, “Who texted Meghan and said, ‘You need to come to the Golden Globes, Meghan Markle.’
‘We don’t have her number. We just don’t do that. She will see. She will watch. She will be happy that we are here,” said the 54-year-old American actress, who attended the royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan in 2018.
The interviewer also asked: ‘Did you plan this? Are you all texting each other?’ She explained, “When it all came through, we were all texting each other. Yep, our text thread is insane right now. So it’s very exciting.’
