Suits could have had more seasons, so why did this legendary series end?

The receptivity of the audience and the comments of specialized critics raise the question: how did such a successful series come to an end?

While it is true that the broadcast of the program lasted longer than the average series, 134 episodes divided into nine seasons were not enough for the followers. In this way, although nothing lasts forever, and we take into account the success of Suitsits ending was a surprise in multiple ways.

We cannot deny that the last season received the appropriate treatment for a farewell. We also didn’t have to deal with the frustration that comes with canceling a show prematurely. Despite certain creative complications, the production managed to give the ideal closure to both the story in general and each of its characters; however, the question remains: could Suits add more seasons?

The answer is in the ninth season

It’s all because of the last season, ironically

season nine of Suits It is framed in a display of transcendental events for the development of the plot. First, the relationship between Donna and Harvey is cemented. Although it marked the arrival of a new antagonist, the obstacles generated were all overcome. If we add to this the drama and all the tension caused by Mike’s appearance, we can say that the combination of these elements allowed for a successful conclusion to the program.

Unlike the classic endings, the company’s triumph over Faye brought with it an unexpected twist. Thus, Suits It breaks the mold and becomes one of the best series of all time. The farewell left no loose ends. Katrina and Samantha were hired back into the company, Louis and Sheila welcomed their baby, and our beloved protagonists even ended up married.

Perhaps the successive parade of events is what aroused the discontent of some followers, since the closing of the story could be perceived as too hasty.

Challenges marked the path to the end

As disconcerting as it may seem, It was not stipulated that Suits will last so long. To begin with, the contract with the talent was scheduled for seven seasons, in this way, two of its central figures took advantage of the opportunity to leave the project once the agreement ended.

According to his own statements, the retirement of Patrick J. Adams He was subject to the feeling of playing a character whose narrative arc had nothing more to offer, while Meghan Markle left the series to become the Duchess of Sussex upon marrying a member of the royal family.

Faced with this scenario, Aaron Korsh’s intention to give his program the ending he had dreamed of became a real challenge. On the one hand, he was trying to renew the contract with the network and, on the other, facing the departure of a couple of key pieces from the cast.

The absence of Patrick J. Adams and Meghan Markle affected production

The retirement of these two stars changed everything completely

During an interview granted to deadline, Korsh confessed the imbalance that generated the retirement of both stars. Likewise, he assured that The only way out was to continue and try two more seasons. If the plan is consolidated, the series would have an eighth season of 16 episodes and a final season of 10 episodes.

Definitely, Compensating for the absence of Mike and Rachel was not easy.. Fortunately, Katherine Heigl’s interest in forming the show’s Samantha became a major turning point for the story. The introduction of Samantha’s character helped not only fill part of the void, but also extend the franchise and give fans an ending worth remembering.

In short, although we would like to continue enjoying one of the best cult series of recent times, Suits it has the ending it deservesIn fact, we should feel lucky to have enjoyed such a complete closure, considering the challenges the production faced. At the moment, there is no hope of a possible replacement, so we can only settle for waiting for the arrival of the most spin-off.
