Meghan Markle’s Suits co-star Patrick J Adams has sent fans into a frenzy after sharing a number of shots from the show – leading his followers to speculate if the series ‘could be coming back.’
Suits tells the tale of Mike Ross (played by Patrick) as a plucky law school drop out who cons his way into a prestigious firm and falls in love with beautiful paralegal Rachel Zane (played by Meghan).
Patrick shared a number of images of the cast on his Instagram with the caption: ‘Let’s get serious. Seriously. I miss my friends. Each and every one of them.’
Among the images was a previously unseen black-and-white portrait of Meghan, apparently on the set of the show, while another showed the duchess lying on the floor as she posed with her co-star Sarah Rafferty.
Fans were delighted to see the snaps, with many taking the post as an apparent hint the series could be coming back.

The actor shared a number of photos saying that he ‘missed his friends’
One commented: ‘Law is a precise endeavour, Patrick. Be clear. The reboot is coming, right?
A second took the post as an apparent hint, saying: ‘Something’s coming…isn’t it?’
Another wrote: ‘I miss you all of you! Please do another season!!! Bring Rachel back too!’
A third added: ‘This show needs a reboot!!! I miss the show!’
A fourth commented: ‘Don’t give us hope[s]. Is Suits coming back? After The Office [was] announced, this feels like a legitimate possibility.’
Meghan starred as paralegal Rachel Zane in Suits from 2010 until her last episode was aired in April 2018, a month before her wedding at Windsor Castle.
Season one began with an average of 4.6million viewers in 2011.
However ratings consistently dipped since the start, even with Meghan in the show.
Meghan and Patrick both left the show at the end of season seven. Their final episode saw Rachel and Mike finally tie the knot , before leaving for Seattle.
According to FOX News, the return of season 8, (which excluded Meghan and Patrick), averaged with 1.2 million viewers, 100,000 less than its seventh season.
It was axed in January 2019 after the ninth 10-episode-instalment.
The official line on why the show was axed was unclear, but the series lost viewers after Meghan quit.

However the show has seen a surge in viewers on screening platforms in recent months.
After launching on Netflix earlier this year, the series set a viewing time record for an acquired series in the week of June 26-July 2, with 3.14 billion minutes of watch time.
Following her exit from the show Meghan remained friendly with a possee of her former co-stars – Gabriel Macht, Abigail Spencer, Sarah Rafferty, and Patrick – who attended her wedding to Prince Harry.
This isn’t the first time in recent weeks that Patrick has updated his Instagram to reference his relationship to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Earlier this month, he changed his Instagram profile to include his connection to Meghan and Prince Harry.
The Toronto-born actor, 42, described himself as: ‘the guy from that show you’re watching on that app because that girl married that prince’.
Earlier this month, Patrick shared a video showing Meghan dancing to a reggae song in a bar in a previously unseen clip on Instagram
Meanwhile he also posted a video of Meghan dancing to a reggae song in a bar in a previously unseen clip.
The video shows the former actress pushing her arms out and rolling her shoulder as she sings along to Mr. Vegas’s Heads High.
The clip – which was filmed in 2012 but posted to Instagram earlier this month – shows the royal with Suits co-stars and crew, including Rick Hoffman who played Louis Litt, as well as Patrick’s wife Troian Bellisario, who is also an actor.
The footage appears to be taken in a darkened bar – most likely in Toronto where Suits was filmed – and shows Hoffman animatedly singing along to the song before the camera pans to Meghan and Mrs Bellisario.
‘April 1, 2012,’ Patrick simply captioned the post.
It comes as Patrick, who played Meghan’s husband in the legal drama, has changed his Instagram profile to reference the Duke and Duchess of Sussex

However in October 2020, he said he had fallen out of touch with the Duchess.
He told the Radio Times: ‘Quite frankly, I think I’m intimidated. I have no doubt I could pick up the phone and call her at any moment, but I don’t know what I would say.
‘We’ve spoken and texted a couple of times, but Meghan’s life is incredibly full and she’s been navigating a lot.
‘We don’t spend any time together, but that’s not because of anything other than how completely enormous her life has become in so many ways.’
Patrick, who has spoken in defense of Meghan on several occasions, last year complained of being ‘pulled into’ debates surrounding his former co-star.
‘Hello to the people and many bots debating all things Markle and including me in the conversation. I just want you to know a couple of things. 1. I don’t read any of it. 2. Life is short. 3. There has to got to be better things for you to be doing. Even you, bots,’ he wrote.
Patrick has also previously described the monarchy as ‘toxic, archaic, and shameless’.
He said that his ‘powerful’ and ‘kind’ friend has been the subject of underhanded behavior on the part of the monarchy after reports were published that Meghan had ‘bullied’ several former staff members at Kensington Palace, claims she has strongly denied.
Patrick previously hit out after being constantly ‘pulled into’ debates surrounding his former co-star Meghan
Following her interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2022, he said: ‘She fell in love, moved to a new country, became a household name across the entire globe and began the difficult work of trying to find her place in a family dynamic that can at best be described as complicated and at worst, seemingly archaic and toxic,’ he wrote in the eight-tweet rant.
At the time Buckingham Palace ‘brought in an external legal firm’ to carry out an investigation into the claims that Meghan bullied royal staff.
Recently, the creator of the legal drama sensationally claiming that the Royal Family insisted the word ‘poppycock’ be removed from her script over fears that clips would be edited to make it sound as though the Duchess of Sussex had said something crude.
Aaron Korsh, 56, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about how things changed on set after Meghan started dating Prince Harry – as well as the bizarre demands he claims the monarchy made when it came to her lines.
His claims echo those made by Harry, who alleged in his explosive memoir Spare that Suits writers had grown increasingly ‘frustrated’ with the ‘palace communications’ team ‘advising’ on changes to Meghan’s lines.
According to showrunner Aaron, the Royal Family ‘weighed in on some stuff’ – including what the Duchess of Sussex’s character said in episodes filmed after she and Harry began dating – which he found ‘a little irritating.’
He said there was one particular word that he threw into the script as a tribute to his own in-laws – ‘poppycock,’ which is slang for nonsense – but claimed he was forced to change it after it was allegedly vetoed by the royals because it contained the term ‘c**k.’
