The popular US show about lawyers could be getting a reboot but Meghan Markle’s return to the series is “just not possible”.
Suits producer Gene Klein does not feel positive about the Duchess returning to screens in the legal drama.
Klein said that he expected a reboot of the series to be called for soon, given the recent popularity of remakes and reboots dominating our screens.
However, he clarified that he was “not aware of any serious conversations”.
Meghan was part of the show for seven seasons

Meghan's departure from the show after season seven came as a bombshell in 2016 following the announcement of her engagement to Prince Harry.
Klein said that he believes it’s unlikely she’ll come back to star in the show again due to her marriage to the Duke of Sussex.
“I would just assume that’s just not possible,” he finished.
The hit TV show came to an end on USA Network in 2019, however its inclusion on Netflix allowed it to reach a wider audience outside of the US.
The streaming platform purchased the US rights and released all nine seasons last month in America.
It set Nielsen records for an acquired title when it was streamed for 3.1 billion minutes the following week after its release on the site.
Its surge in popularity recently has led to speculation that a tenth season to continue the story could be a possibility.
“It’s just one of those things where, in this day and age, you wouldn’t be surprised if somebody called you someday,” Klein told TV Line. “But so far, nothing that I’m aware of.”
As of right now, another season has not been green lit by either the USA Network or Netflix
The producer is also anticipating issues in bringing back other cast members aside from Meghan.

Getting series leads Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams, could prove difficult according to Klein.
“As you might remember, it was a complicated dance keeping everybody involved,” he said.
“Getting all the actors' deals done and keeping them involved through the end of the show.”
The Suits producer said it would be a big surprise if he managed to unite the entire cast together for the reboot.
Despite this, Klein didn’t rule out that a reunion could happen as the actors are still “good friends” from their time on the show.
