The Real Deal Behind Suits Season 10: Unveiling the Truth Behind Revival Talk & Netflix Resurgence
Suits Season 10: Debunking Revival Talk & Netflix Resurgence Why a possible return may tarnish the show's legacy, with satisfying closure in Season 9, cast departures, and potential for disappointment
Summary
Suits had a satisfying series finale that brought everything full circle, making a possible season 10 unnecessary.
Meghan Markle's return for Suits season 10 is highly improbable, and omitting her character would be detrimental to the story.
Given the show's carefully crafted farewell for each main character, reintroducing them in season 10 would lack coherence and potentially diminish the enchantment of the original series.
Netflix introduced the legal drama series Suits to its streaming library in the summer of 2023, resulting in a newfound surge of popularity even four years after its original airing. Viewers who had not previously watched the show are now discovering its allure and understanding why it enjoyed a successful run. The series continues to dominate Netflix's charts, sparking speculation about a potential revival or a tenth season. However, it may not be wise to revisit the world of Suits at this time. Suits, which starred Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle, Sarah Rafferty, Gina Torres, Amanda Schull, Dulé Hill, and Katherine Heigl, concluded with its ninth season in 2019. Despite its enduring appeal and strong foundation, it is advisable to leave Suits untouched for the foreseeable future.
7 Suits Season 9 Featured A Satisfying Series Finale
The Suits series finale, which aired on September 25, 2019, marked the beautiful culmination of the nine-season long story on the USA Network. With the awareness that the season 9 finale would also serve as the series finale, the writers skillfully crafted a final narrative that elegantly tied up all the loose ends. In this last episode, Harvey and Mike rekindled their friendship and working relationship, Harvey proposed to Donna and the long-awaited couple finally tied the knot, and both Harvey and Donna made the decision to move to Seattle and join forces with Mike and Rachel. This conclusion was a perfect finish for Suits, and it would truly be unfortunate to potentially tarnish its brilliance if season 10 is given the green light.
6 Meghan Markle Likely Wouldn't Be Able To Return For Suits Season 10
Reviving Suits for season 10 on networks like the USA Network or Netflix would be a valuable decision. One compelling reason is that Meghan Markle, who played Rachel Zane, is unlikely to reprise her role. Markle departed from the show after season 7 due to her impending marriage to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. Even though Markle and her husband stepped down as working royals in 2020 and relocated to California after facing media scrutiny and royal family tensions, Markle's busy schedule would probably prevent her from returning for a potential tenth season of this legal drama series.
5 Every Suits Character Had A Perfect Send-Off By The Series Finale
A Suits revival would not feel complete without the presence of Rachel, portrayed by Markle, particularly if Adams were to reprise his role as Mike. The story of Mike and Rachel in the television show on the USA Network is deeply intertwined, as the series concluded with them getting married and establishing a joint professional partnership in Seattle. To omit Rachel's character while Mike remains a central figure in Suits season 10 would be a disservice to the narrative arc that the first seven seasons meticulously developed for her.
By the time the legal drama series came to an end, all the main characters in Suits had received satisfying farewells. It wouldn't make sense to revisit characters that fans have already bid adieu to. The central couples, Harvey and Donna, as well as Mike and Rachel, tied the knot and found their happily-ever-afters. Meanwhile, Louis and Sheila got married and welcomed their first child, Lucy. Harvey, Donna, Mike, and Rachel also found closure in their careers as they worked together at a law firm in Seattle. Additionally, Katrina's hard work paid off as she was promoted to partner at the law firm, resulting in the name change to Litt Wheeler Williams Bennett. Considering all of these satisfying conclusions, Suits season 10 is unnecessary.
4 A Suits Prequel Would Be More Interesting
If the USA Network were to continue expanding the Suits universe, opting for a prequel rather than a tenth season would be a more captivating approach. Specifically, delving into Harvey's formative years in law school at Harvard would serve as a riveting premise. Naturally, Gabriel Macht wouldn't be able to reprise his role as an older Harvey since the network would need to cast a college-aged actor, considering Macht is presently 51 years old. However, a prequel focusing on Harvey's early experiences, likely including Jessica, could be a possibility that wouldn't compromise the integrity of Suits' nine established seasons.
3 TV Shows That Last For Too Long Often Lose Their Footing
While we all hope for our favorite TV shows to last forever, there inevitably comes a time for them to conclude. Ideally, they can conclude on their own terms and tie up loose ends like Suits did. However, there are instances where shows either end prematurely or overstay their welcome (such as Grey's Anatomy). If Suits were to be revived for a tenth season, there is a possibility that it may lose its former glory and attempt to prolong something that ceased to be vibrant long ago.
2 A Disappointing Suits Season 10 Could Ruin The Show's Magic
If Suits were to return for a tenth season more than four years after its original series finale on the USA Network, it could potentially disappoint fans due to the tremendous amount of anticipation surrounding it. Season 10 would have a substantial reputation to uphold, thanks to the show's increased popularity on Netflix. It would be unfortunate if the continuation of the series failed to measure up to the brilliance of its original 134 episodes.
A similar situation occurred with Dexter, which made a comeback after eight years with a limited series called Dexter: New Blood. Regrettably, despite the fans' adoration for the original series, some did not appreciate the new show and its conclusion. The same scenario could transpire with Suits if a tenth season is produced. A new storyline has the potential to diminish the enchantment of the nine previous seasons, which would be incredibly disheartening.
1 1 Suits Continuation Already Failed
Attempting to keep the Suits universe alive by producing a season 10 might not be advisable for several reasons. One crucial factor is the lack of success enjoyed by the spinoff series, Pearson, which featured Gina Torres reprising her role as Jessica Pearson. Unfortunately, the show only managed to air for a single season on the USA Network before getting canceled in 2019. This decision was primarily attributed to its poor ratings and low viewership totals. Evidently, Suits fans did not show much interest in watching a series centered around Jessica's relocation to Chicago. Therefore, it might not be a prudent choice to make another attempt at reviving this universe.
