ABOUT ‘SUITS’:
Season 6 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c; Season 7 in 2017
From the beginning, SUITS has centered on the fast-paced Manhattan corporate law firm, Pearson Specter Litt — but last season, their world was shaken to its core when Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) signed a two-year plea deal admitting his fraud to spare his colleagues Harvey (Gabriel Macht), Jessica (Gina Torres) and Louis (Rick Hoffman). In Season 6, Mike deals with the harsh realities of prison life, while his relationship with his fiancé Rachel (Meghan Markle) and the future of the firm is unknown. With Pearson Specter Litt’s troubles at a peak, Donna (Sarah Rafferty) must help bring them all together to not only save the firm, but also the friendships they have all dedicated their entire career and lives to.
From Universal Cable Productions, SUITS was created and is executive produced by Aaron Korsh (“The Deep End”). Doug Liman (“Covert Affairs,” ”The Bourne Trilogy,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”), David Bartis (“Covert Affairs,” “The O.C.”) and Gene Klein (“Covert Affairs”) of Hypnotic serve as executive producers. Daniel Arkin (“90210”) and Rick Muirragui (“Men of a Certain Age,” “The Good Guys”) and Silver Tree (“The Real O’Neals,” “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce”) also serve as executive producers.”

Im very happy they have renewed Suits love the show Kathy
I am delighted to hear the series is being renewed for. Another season. I have watched it since the beginning and find the writing excellent. It continues to be unpredictable and as such really a must watch.
I am truly relieved that there will be a 7th and possibly final season. The season 6 finale left a few too many unanswered questions. Thank you to the network as well as the writers, actors, and staff for putting together an amazing program.
I love this show!! The characters are unique, entertaining and interesting. Not sure why the storyline doesn’t utilize them as well as it should!
My husband and.I always look forward to Wednesday to watch “Suits”. It’s one of the best dramas on TV! We’re so happy that Suits has been renewed for season 7. The final episode in season 6 could very well have been the end of the series. But.there were alot of “loose ends” in the story line. After 6 years of great episodes, we just couldn’t believe that the finale of season 6 would be the finale of this creative, sweet, yet suspencful show! Kudos to the writers! Thanks to the network for renewing this great series!
Is the character “Jessica” leaving show, if so, why? I love character (Jessica) especially along with other character (Harvey) put the character (Louis Litt)in his place sort of speak. …its hilarious and love Michael and Rachel love story as well as Donna helps save the day, including new character (Louis’ secretary)! All in all great show!!!! Stay “Jessica” !!!
Yes I’m soooo happy suits going to be staying on air I look for for another season and seasons after!!!
Great decision to renew Suits for Season 7. You keep canceling series like RUSH bad decision. No more canceling or cancel yourself.
Thank goodness USA you renewed 7 Season for Suits. You keep canceling series like RUSH a good one you will end up canceling your station. Great decision.
SUITS is one of the best dramas on TV….I love Gabriel Macht, who truly makes the show. All the other characters revolve around his high-powered attorney Harvey Spector and to me, he and Rick Hoffman ( Louis Litt ) are
the ” irreplacable” ones on the show. Suits is a sharp, sexy, fast moving drama that never lets you down for a second. I love it and glad they renewed it.
I watch SUITS every week. It is my #1 program since its beginning. I would have been devastated if the show had been cancelled. I hope, with the new format, that all is well and regains its ratings.
