Speculation regarding Meghan Markle joining the third season of the Netflix crime comedy series ‘The Gentlemen’ has faced conflicting reports. Initially, Netflix UK scripted chief Manda Levin provided an ambiguous response to casting rumors during the Edinburgh TV Festival, stating, “All bets are off.”

Subsequent reports have introduced uncertainty, alleging that Markle may never have been formally offered a role. These claims suggest that an informal conversation with a casting director might have been misinterpreted as an official negotiation. Actress Kaya Scodelario addressed the rumors on ‘Today’, noting she has “no decision-making abilities” regarding casting for the production.
