Meghan Markle’s ‘Suits’ co-star Abigail Spencer teases duchess’ Netflix show
Meghan Markle’s longtime friend and “Suits” co-star Abigail Spencer has teased what viewers can expect from the duchess’ upcoming Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”
Spencer, who struck up a friendship with the Duchess of Sussex in 2011 on the set of the hit legal drama, is set to appear in the upcoming series alongside Markle’s other celeb pals.
“What I’m so excited about is that people will really get an authentic look at the woman that I love and know,” Spencer, 43, told People.
“Also, you’re gonna learn a lot. I learned a lot from her and she actually gets to teach me something on the show. I’m just so grateful.”
“It’s really from her heart. It really is with love,” added Spencer, who played attorney Dana “Scottie” Scott in the hit legal series alongside Markle.
The upcoming series will follow the former royal, 43, in the kitchen with some of her famous friends, including Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi and Tatcha founder Vicky Tsai.
Some of the celeb guests are pals that were lucky enough to receive a jar of Markle’s American Riviera Orchard jam last year.
The former actress dropped the first trailer for her Netflix lifestyle series on Jan 2, in which she showed off her cooking and gardening skills with appearances from her A-list pals.
But following the devastating fires that have ravaged through Los Angeles earlier this month, Markle announced that the series’ release has been postponed to March 4 instead of Jan. 15.
Directed by Michael Steed, “With Love, Meghan” boasts eight episodes, each 33 minutes long. Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, 40, produced the series via their Archewell Productions company.
Announcing the show’s delay, Markle said in a statement, “I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California.”
The former working royal finished filming the show in July.
The Sussexes signed a $100 million deal with the streaming giant in 2020. It’s unclear if their deal with the platform will be renewed when it comes to an end this summer.
Still, it’s understood that Markle is “confident” that “With Love, Meghan” will be a success once it premieres.
