Patrick J Adams: ‘Suits’ walked so ‘Succession’ could run
Actor Patrick J Adams discusses how 'Suits' laid the groundwork for 'Succession', highlighting shared cast members, creative influences, and the evolution of storytelling in both series.
The leading television series Suits is about, to begin with, their 8th season this year. Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams have poised to leave the show already. As Meghan Markle will be off to, marry Prince Harry it’s no surprise that she might have to quit her acting career. However, Patrick leaving the show was quite a surprise for the fans.
Actor Katherine Heigl has joined Suits as a series regular in season eight. She will play Samantha Wheeler, “a talented new partner at Pearson Specter Litt who challenges the status quo and will either become the firms greatest ally… or most powerful enemy,” according to the press release issued by USA Network.
“Joining Suits was the perfect organic way to not only collaborate with an EPI admire deeply, but to also become part of a show and cast that I am an immense fan of. I have watched Suits from the very beginning and feel incredibly lucky to be the newest member of the Pearson Specter Litt family,” Heigl said in a statement issued to Entertainment Weekly.

“On behalf of the entire Suits team, I am extraordinarily excited to welcome Katherine Heigl into our family? I have always been a big fan of her work and was delighted to discover she was an avid Suits fan herself,” said series creator and executive producer Aaron Korsh. The Heigl’s casting comes a day after announcing that the legal drama had been renewed for an eighth season without series leads Patrick J Adams and Meghan Markle.
