Patrick J. Adams Wants a “Suits” Revival — and His Pitch Includes Meghan Markle’s Character: ‘Get the Band Back Together’

In a recent social media post, actor Patrick J. Adams shared his vision for a potential revival of the popular legal drama “Suits,” which originally aired from 2011 to 2019. His proposal prominently features characters played by both him and Meghan Markle, hinting at an exciting storyline that could resonate with contemporary themes.

Adams, who portrayed the character Mike Ross, initiated his pitch by detailing a plot in which Mike and Rachel Zane, played by Markle, embark on a class action lawsuit against a powerful artificial intelligence corporation. This sets the stage for a dramatic reunion of the show’s charismatic ensemble cast. He suggested that long-buried secrets and past misconduct at the firm, Pearson Hardman, could emerge, jeopardising the futures of key characters like Harvey Specter and Donna Paulsen, as well as Louis Litt and Jessica Pearson.

In his post, Adams elaborated on the high stakes that the characters would face. He expressed the notion that Mike’s noble intentions could unite his colleagues for one last chance at redemption, offering them the possibility of wiping the slate clean and achieving a future they could be proud of. He teased the addition of light-hearted elements, including jokes about skinny ties and nostalgic montages featuring bike rides, while also suggesting that the couple, Harvey and Donna, could welcome a child.

Despite these creative ideas, Adams pointed out that he is unsure about any existing plans for a “Suits” reunion, acknowledging that “the powers that be” seemed to have moved on since the series concluded in Los Angeles. He remarked that it seems odd not to explore a reunion, particularly in a world that has become increasingly convoluted. “It would be fun to watch the team try and do the right thing in a world determined to do all the wrong things,” he noted, humorously adding, “Anyway. I’m available.”

“Suits” follows the journey of Mike Ross as he navigates life at a high-powered law firm alongside some of New York’s most talented legal minds, including Harvey Specter, Jessica Pearson, and Louis Litt. The series also features Donna, Harvey’s devoted assistant, alongside Rachel who starts her journey as a paralegal. Following its initial run, the show saw a surge in popularity after arriving on Netflix in 2023, where it captivated a fresh audience.

Statistics show that “Suits” broke records on Netflix shortly after its debut on the streaming platform, accumulating 3 billion viewing minutes over multiple services, becoming the most-watched acquired series. The buzz surrounding its renewed popularity is indicative of the enduring appeal of its characters and storylines.

In early 2024, NBC announced the launch of a spinoff titled “Suits: LA,” designed to exist within the same universe as the original show. This series, which followed a character named Ted Black, portrayed by Stephen Amell, entered into the legal drama realm, but ultimately ran for just one season before being cancelled in May 2025.

Adams has previously suggested the potential for further reunions, including the intriguing idea of a “Suits” movie. At the ATX TV Festival in Austin, Texas, in June 2024, he and several key cast members gathered to commemorate five years since the series finale. When asked about the possibility of a cinematic project, Adams conveyed enthusiasm about bringing the original team together again. However, he acknowledged that various factors would influence whether such a film could come to fruition. Nonetheless, he expressed optimism about the potential for this reunion, leaving the door open for future possibilities.

As fans await any official announcements regarding the future of “Suits,” Patrick J. Adams’ imaginative pitch serves as a reminder of the show’s lasting impact and the nostalgic connection many viewers have with its characters. Whether or not a revival materialises, the dialogue surrounding it highlights both the ongoing affection for the series and the potential for storytelling that resonates with contemporary audiences.
