Megan Markle Appeals to Ryan Murphy for Lawyer Role in Kim Kardashian’s Movie

Megan Markle has reportedly reached out to renowned producer Ryan Murphy, making a plea for a lawyer role in an upcoming movie starring Kim Kardashian.

This move follows Megan’s recent departure from the new season of Suits, despite her notable performance in American Horror Story.

Kim Kardashian, known for her nuanced approach to projects, is gearing up to headline her scripted series, a result of her ongoing collaboration with Ryan Murphy, the mastermind behind the production.

The series is described as a sophisticated, glamorous, and intriguing adult procedural drama, set to premiere on Hulu, the streaming platform famous for its reality hit, The Kardashians, with a significant commitment to the series.

Notably, this venture marks the debut series for Ryan Murphy under his fresh agreement with Disney’s 20th Television, a division of Disney TV Studios.

Sources close to the situation have revealed that Megan Markle’s team has stepped in to advocate for her inclusion in Kim Kardashian’s movie.

Drawing on Megan’s past portrayal of a lawyer on Suits, she has expressed a keen interest in reprising a similar character on screen.

In response to Megan’s appeal, Kim Kardashian is contemplating offering her a role in the film.

Negotiations are currently underway for Kardashian’s acting deal, with plans for her to embody the persona of Los Angeles’s most accomplished divorce attorney, who also happens to own an all-female law firm.

The script for this legal drama is crafted by John Robin Bates, the creative mind behind Brothers and Sisters, and co-written by Joe Bacon, the talent behind Murphy’s upcoming project, Capote vs. the Swans.

With Murphy, Kardashian, and Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan and an executive producer on their unscripted series, onboard, the project swiftly gained traction.

Their pitch to Hulu reportedly secured a straight-to-series order, signaling the platform’s enthusiasm for the endeavor.

While final agreements are pending, initial discussions on casting have commenced, including considerations for three actresses to portray Kim Kardashian’s character’s love interests, alongside an A-list actor as her on-screen romantic partner.

Production is slated to kick off towards the end of 2024, with a projected premiere in early 2025.

However, sources have disclosed that Meghan was initially eyeing one of the three lawyer roles in Kim Kardashian’s movie.

Regrettably for Meghan, the casting decisions have veered towards A-list actors only, placing her in a less favorable position.

Eager to secure a spot, Meghan faces the challenge of presenting compelling proposals to Netflix, as rejection looms as a possible outcome.

Critics have raised doubts about Meghan’s acting capabilities, citing her lackluster performances on Suits where her character often required assistance from Jenna Torres’s character, Jessica, in courtroom scenes.

While Kim Kardashian’s transition into a legal career mirrors her real-life pursuits, Meghan’s credibility in the industry faces scrutiny.

In an unexpected turn of events, Meghan had previously hinted at potential involvement in the Kardashians’ Hulu reality show, suggesting she was evaluating an offer.

However, recent developments indicate that Meghan has been excluded from their new projects, with her impact on their initiatives being minimal from the outset.
