‘Suits’: Meghan Markle, Patrick J. Adams out for Season 8?
The second half of Suits Season 7 is still in production, but news about Season 8 of the legal drama made headlines Monday.
Deadline reports Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams, who play lawyers Rachel Zane and Mike Ross respectively, may not return as series regulars. “The contracts of all Suits original cast members are up after Season 7, so both Adams and Markle will have fulfilled their current obligations,” according to the site.
Suits creator Aaron Korsh told Deadline in September: “They all have things going on in their lives, we’ll see what happens. This is true on all long-running shows, and people have things happening in their lives.”
Speculation about Markle’s departure intensified after she went public with her relationship with Prince Harry in 2016. Could a royal engagement be next?
A Suits spinoff starring Gina Torres is currently in the works at USA.
NBCUniversal/USA has not confirmed either departure.

It wouldn't be Suits if Mike isn't there. I'd understand if Megan doesn't continue--if she marries Prince Harry, so I'm okay with that. But Mike needs to stay.

Can't disagree with either of you. I always need someone to dislike I guess. I just think he's too snotty sometimes but I have never understood what Mike 🙂 or the Prince see in her. Hope she has a great personality.

Excellent. They are my two least favorites.

Ugh, me too. And I'd be just as invested with the show without them. But I can't help but feel like without Mike, the show is fundamentally different. Though in the same vein, it could be fundamentally BETTER, at least without Mike.
