Fans of the legal drama series Suits have long anticipated more content, and actor Patrick J. Adams has expressed interest in reprising his role as Mike Ross. During a panel at the ATX Television Festival on June 2, Adams, 42, joined former co-stars Sarah Rafferty, Amanda Schull, Dulé Hill, Abigail Spencer, and USA executive Jeff Wachtel to discuss the show’s resurgence in popularity.
Actors Express Interest in Reprising Their Roles
When asked if the actors would return to their roles, Adams promptly responded with a “Yes,” adding humorously, “I say that being a person who has no power or authority.” He hinted at the possibility of reuniting the original cast, potentially for a movie, despite series creator Aaron Korsh currently focusing on the upcoming spinoff series Suits: LA.
New Developments and Spinoffs
Adams revealed that the reunion would depend on multiple factors but believes it is possible. This comes amidst the show’s newfound popularity after becoming available to stream on Peacock and Netflix. The original series aired on USA from 2011 to 2019, featuring Gabriel Macht, Gina Torres, Rick Hoffman, and Meghan Markle, who exited the show after its first seven seasons.
Executive Producers and Reboot Speculations
Gene Klein, an executive producer on the show, noted in an interview with TVLine that a reboot isn’t out of the question. “In this day and age, you wouldn’t be surprised if somebody called you someday,” he said in July 2023. However, Klein was less optimistic about Markle returning as Rachel Zane, stating, “I would assume that’s just not possible.”
Meghan Markle’s Reflection
Markle, 42, reflected on her time with the show at Variety‘s Power of Women event in November 2023, commenting on its streaming success. “Isn’t that wild?” she said, expressing her enjoyment of working with the “great cast and crew.” She speculated that the show’s binge-worthy nature contributed to its renewed popularity.
Suits: LA and New Casting Announcements
Suits: LA has been confirmed, starring Stephen Amell as Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor reinvented as a powerful attorney in Los Angeles. The series will also feature Bryan Greenberg, Josh McDermitt, and Lex Scott Davis, though it is unlikely to include any original cast members. Gabriel Macht mentioned to The Hollywood Reporter that while some characters could return, the series focuses on building a new story with new characters.
Actors’ Reunions and Future Plans
The original cast members have reunited at various events like the Golden Globes and for projects such as a T-Mobile commercial. However, no official plans to reprise their Suits roles have emerged. Adams mentioned, “I have yet to be asked,” highlighting the direction towards a new world with new characters in the spinoff.
