“Patrick J. Adams, Meghan Markle’s Former Suits Costar, Surprises Fans with Unseen Photos and Sparks Speculation

The Duchess of Sussex confirmed she would no longer be acting after she and Prince Harry announced their engagement in 2017

Meghan Markle’s former costar Patrick J. Adams is giving another glimpse of her behind the scenes of Suits.

On Wednesday, Adams posted two new Instagram carousels of throwback Suits photos, which included never-before-seen shots of Meghan. Before she married Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex, 42, starred in the legal drama on USA Network from 2011 to 2018 as plucky paralegal Rachel Zane. Suits has had a record resurgence since hitting Netflix for the first time in June, where it’s still going strong.

“This well is deeeep,” Adams (who played Mike Ross, Meghan’s character’s love interest) began one Instagram post, which opened with an undated photo of Meghan looking over her shoulder on set, dressed in Rachel’s signature workwear. The second shot showed her lying on a couch with arms outstretched and rolled to other outtakes of Adams and costars Gabriel Macht, Daniel Costabile, Trevor Lipinski and Vanessa Ray behind the scenes and on set.

The actor did not add a caption to the second carousel, which began with a black and white snap of Gina Torres posing close to Macht by a New York courthouse sign. It was followed by a serious snap of Adams, a photo of Meghan smiling beneath a clear umbrella, plus other candids of Suits stars Sarah Rafferty, Rick Hoffman and more.

The set of montages came the day after Adams, 42, posted two other unseen images of Meghan on Instagram. The Tuesday images were prefaced by a black and white portrait of Adams, which he shared with the vague caption, “Let’s get serious. Seriously.”

The first photo showed Meghan and Rafferty in an office on set, where Rafferty sat on a couch and Meghan laid on the floor, her feet up on a cabinet. “I miss my friends,” Adams wrote below.

“Each and every one of them,” he captioned the carousel shared on Tuesday, in a montage that opened with a black and white snap of Meghan holding a finger to her lips and looking to the side. It was followed by shots of Macht, Hoffman, Max Topplin and Torres.

While it remains unclear what sparked Adams’ nostalgia look back on social media, Instagram commenters begged for new episodes of Suits.

“We missed you guys, please do new season,” one commenter wrote below his second post uploaded on Wednesday.

“This better means that a comeback season is incoming,” another agreed.

Though Meghan and Adams both left their roles after season 7, Suits concluded with a ninth and final season in 2019. The legal drama has reached a whole new audience since hitting Netflix this summer, and continues to rock the charts. Citing the latest Nielsen data, Variety reported last week that Suits was the most-streamed show from Aug. 21 to 27 with over 2.6 billion minutes viewed between Netflix and Peacock.

Meghan and Prince Harry met through a mutual friend in 2016 and announced their engagement the following year. Shortly after, USA Network said the seventh season of Suits would be her last.

In her joint engagement interview with Prince Harry in November 2017, Meghan confirmed she would no longer be acting.

“I don’t see it as giving anything up. I just see it as a change,” she said. “It’s a new chapter, right? And also, keep in mind, I’ve been working on [Suits] for seven years. We were very, very fortunate to have that sort of longevity on a series. I’ve ticked this box, and I feel very proud of the work I’ve done there, and now it’s time to work with [Harry] as a team.”

Meghan invited her Suits costars Adams, Macht, Rafferty and Torres to her 2018 royal wedding at Windsor Castle, and Adams recently refreshed his Instagram bio with a cheeky nod to the Sussexes.

“The guy from that show you’re watching on that app because that girl married that prince,” his bio line reads.
