Suits Star Sarah Rafferty Hints at Meghan Markle Joining the Show’s Rewatch Podcast

Actress expresses excitement over the resurgence of Suits and its impact on fans and cast alike

Sarah Rafferty, known for her role on Suits, has expressed her hopes that her former co-star, Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, might join her and co-host Patrick J. Adams on their newly launched rewatch podcast, Sidebar. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Rafferty extended an open invitation to Markle, saying, “Everybody’s invited, and everybody has been so supportive.”

Rafferty, clearly thrilled by the ongoing support from the show’s cast and crew, added, “It’s amazing. I’ve just been texting one of our directors, Mike Smith. Rachael Harris had some comments on our Instagram Live this morning — cannot wait for Sheila Sazs to be introduced into the show. I can’t wait to talk to Max Beesley [who played Stephen Huntley] and all the British actors we worked with.”

The podcast, which launched in late September, was first reported by Deadline and was inspired by the show’s recent resurgence in popularity. Suits, which aired for nine seasons, saw a massive spike in streaming numbers during the Hollywood strikes after being added to Netflix, breaking records and sparking conversations about the show’s lasting impact. Additionally, a new spinoff series, Suits L.A., has been greenlit by NBC, adding to the excitement for longtime fans.

Reflecting on the show’s renewed popularity, Rafferty explained, “We were on strike when that surge happened, and it was like, ‘What does this even mean?’ It was hard to process. That’s one of the reasons we went ahead with the podcast — it’s a chance to make sense of what the show has meant to the cast, crew, and viewers.”

Sidebar joins a growing list of popular rewatch podcasts dedicated to iconic series, like The Office, Veep, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Suits follows the high-stakes world of a top Manhattan law firm, centering on the relationship between Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), a brilliant lawyer, and Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), a young prodigy with a photographic memory who manages to talk his way into a prestigious legal career despite lacking a law degree.
