How Suits Season 9 Compares With The Rest Of The Show
Suits was a very different show at the end.
Suitsseason 9 may not have been as good as the show’s best seasons, but it was a significant improvement from season 8. The first season ofSuitswithout Mike, Rachel, and Jessica was always going to be a hard sell, as viewers had grown used to a very specific dynamic at Pearson that no longer existed.Much ofSuitsseason 8 revolved around Samantha Wheeler and Robert Zane, the former of which was a new addition to the show. As with any new characters that join an ensemble several seasons into the show, Samantha was initially not a fan-favorite character.
Patrick J. Adams returned as Mike Ross for three episodes ofSuitsseason 9, including the finale.
By season 9, however, Samantha Wheeler was already an established character whose dynamic with Harvey Specter and the rest of the firm was quite interesting. This tied into the main plot ofSuits’ final season, which sawHarvey and his partners trying to get rid of Faye after the Special Master fired Samantha.Suits’ final case was a complicated legal battle in which Harvey and Louis had to fight Mike and Samantha. With 10 episodes instead of the usual 16,Suitsseason 9 was fast-paced and wasted no time with “filler” or low-stakes storylines.
Faye had a zero-tolerance policy regarding lawyers crossing lines, which is something theSuitscharacters were used to doing daily.
Most ofSuitsseason 9 was about those at Specter Litt Wheeler Williams – one of manynamesSuits’ legal firm went through– trying to do their jobs while Faye watched over them. The Special Master designed by the New York State Bar believed that Harvey Specter was“a cancer,”and that the partners’ affection for him was going to be the end of the firm. Faye had a zero-tolerance policy regarding lawyers crossing lines, which is something theSuitscharacters were used to doing daily. Therefore,Suits’ final season was about fighting for“the soul of the firm.”
Will Suits Season 10 Happen After The Show’s Streaming Success?
Suits: L.A. is the only Suits project currently in development.
Suitsseason 9 arriving on Netflix is a reminder of how successful the show has been on streaming, which is one of the reasons whySuits: L.A.is happening. However, as of now,there are no announced plans for aSuitsrevival.Suitsis only returning through the LA spinoff, which will follow brand-new characters in a different setting. Even ifSuitscharacters appear inSuits: L.A.as cameos, it is still an all-new show. That said, the possibility of aSuitsreunion cannot be ruled out, especially because most actors would be born with it.
Suits’ Reunion Movie Would Have To Solve A Major Mike Ross Problem Season 9 Struggled With
A potential Suits reunion movie would need to solve a major problem in season 9 regarding Mike Ross that the show initially struggled with.
Patrick J. Adams, who played Mike Ross inSuits, recently commented on the idea of aSuitsmovie reunion(viaVariety). Adams noted that it all“depends on a million things,”but that he believesSuitscreator Aaron Korsh would be interested in it. The actor pointed out, however, that Korsh’s focus is currently onSuits: L.A.Considering how greatSuitsseason 9’s finale was, there may be no need for a revival to happen after all. However, a movie could be an interesting way of revisiting Harvey, Mike, and the others without ruining the show’s finale.
