The core cast, including Gabriel Macht as Harvey Specter, Patrick J. Adams as Mike Ross, Rick Hoffman as Louis Litt, Sarah Rafferty as Donna Paulsen, Gina Torres as Jessica Pearson, and Meghan Markle as Rachel Zane, are the heart of the series. The show's later seasons saw the departure of both Jessica Pearson and the couple Mike and Rachel, but the addition of Katherine Heigl as Samantha Wheeler and Dulé Hill as Alex Williams helped carry the show to its satisfying conclusion.
The First Spin-off: Pearson (One Season)
Following her departure from the main series in Season 7, the character of Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) was given her own spin-off, a political drama titled Pearson. This series shifted the focus from the high-octane corporate law of New York to the messy world of Chicago politics.
- Total Seasons: 1
- Total Episodes: 10
- Premiere Date: July 17, 2019
- Status: Canceled after one season.
- Plot: Jessica Pearson attempts to start a new life in Chicago, where she quickly becomes entangled in the city's corrupt political landscape as a fixer for the mayor.
Despite critical praise for Gina Torres' performance and the show's darker, more politically charged tone, Pearson failed to capture the massive viewership of its parent series and was canceled after just one season.
The Future of the Franchise: Suits: L.A. (Premiering 2025)
The biggest and most current news in the Suits universe is the development of a new series, Suits: L.A., which is a major reason why the franchise is back in the spotlight.
