Suits: What happened to Mike, Harvey, and Louis after Season 9

Suits season 9 wraps with shocking exits and new beginnings for its beloved characters.

The popular legal drama "Suits" may have concluded in 2019, but its gripping narrative continues to resonate with audiences, especially as its final season, now streaming on Netflix, unfolds with intense drama and heartfelt farewells. 

Spanning nine seasons on USA Network, "Suits" recently surged in popularity on streaming platforms, amassing a staggering 3 billion viewing minutes across Netflix and Peacock in a single week, solidifying its place as a top-tier acquired title according to Nielsen.

The show's narrative revolves around Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), a brilliant mind hired by top attorney Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) despite lacking a law degree. 

Alongside them are formidable figures like Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty) and Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman), who navigate through a series of legal battles, personal betrayals, and enduring friendships.

In its final season, "Suits" dives into the aftermath of Robert Zane's (Wendell Pierce) sacrifice, leading to emotional upheaval within the firm. Samantha Wheeler (Katherine Heigl) faces the repercussions of her actions, while Louis strives to uphold a tarnished legacy. 

Central to the season is their clash with Faye Richardson (Denise Crosby), whose tenure sparks internal turmoil and legal showdowns.

The season also marks poignant farewells and reunions. Meghan Markle's departure as Rachel in season 7 left a significant void, addressed in sporadic appearances. Patrick J. Adams reflected on their characters' ongoing journey, emphasizing their enduring presence despite physical absence.

Key moments include Harvey's departure from New York, symbolizing closure and new beginnings. Louis achieves personal and professional fulfillment, culminating in a surprise wedding and leadership of the firm. 

Meanwhile, Harvey and Donna's clandestine romance evolves, culminating in a joyous wedding amidst personal trials and tribulations.

While the series concluded without a sequel, fans can look forward to "Sidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast," featuring insights from Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty as they revisit the show.
