Summary
AlthoughSuitsofficially finished in 2019, some fans are still hopeful for season 10, but it just became more difficult after Partick J. Adams' update. The legal drama was widely praised during its eight-year run and received wonderful reviews, making it one of the most popular shows of the 2010s. Even after its conclusion,the series became globally popular on streaming and captured a whole new audience, proving there was still plenty of life in the franchise. While the finale wrapped up the main story nicely,Suits' ending also set up potential spinoffs, meaning the IP wasn’t done for good.

Getting the cast back together would be tough after so many years, especially asPatrick J. Adams exitedSuitsafter season 7. He played the show’s main protagonist before Gabriel Macht took over, but for the show to warrant a tenth season, it would need both actors back.Adams' role inAccusedmade hisSuitsreturn as MikeRoss even more desirable, but one big update means producing season 10 could be incredibly complicated.

Patrick J. Adams’ Reported Yellowstone Spinoff Role Makes Suits Season 10 More Difficult
Adams' Yellowstone Spinoff May Leave Little Time For A Suits Reunion If It’s A Long-Term Project
Patrick J. Adams' newYellowstonespinoffofficially makesSuitsseason 10 even more difficult, as the actor is far less likely to return. Although Mike Ross is easily his most recognizable character, Adams has had some strong performances since then and this new project could provide his biggest role sinceSuits.Yellowstonehas been one of the biggest drama shows on TV since its debut in 2018 and has already had several successful spinoffs. Therefore, Adams' show should continue the franchise’s positive momentum, and with1923reportedly getting a second season,The Madisoncould also become a long-running series.
Given Mike and Harvey reunited at the end of season 9, the story won’t be able to continue without Adams, and if hisYellowstonespinoff ends up being a long-term project, he’ll have little time forSuits.
While this is great news for the franchise and for Adams, it hurtsSuits' chances of coming back for a tenth season. Given Mike and Harvey reunited at the end of season 9, the story won’t be able to continue without Adams, and if hisYellowstonespinoff ends up being a long-term project, he’ll have little time forSuits. The show’s strong ending suggests a return could be divisive anyway, but givenMike Ross provided some ofSuits' best scenes,season 10 would need Adams, who may be devoting most of his time toThe Madison.
Suits Is Coming Back (But Not With Season 10)

There is no confirmation of a tenth season ofSuits, but the franchise will be coming back in the form of a spinoff.Suits L.A.was officially confirmedin October 2023 and while it won’t follow the original show’s characters, it will provide the same legal drama that made the franchise so popular.Stephen Amell will play the leading role and will be joined by Josh McDermitt and Lex Scott Davis, with several other names also being tied to the project. The change in setting and cast will give the spinoff its own identity while cashing in onSuits' popularity.
Suits L.A.has shifted filming locations from Vancouver to Los Angeles.
Opting to follow new lawyers and exploring a fresh dynamic seems like a strong idea afterSuits’Pearsonspinoff got canceledafter just one season. While other shows have made successful spinoffs based on supporting characters, the demand forPearsonsimply wasn’t there as the rating disappointed compared to the main show.

Will Patrick J. Adams Ever Play Mike Ross Again?
Adams Could Still Return As Mike Ross, Even If It Doesn’t Happen In Season 10
WithSuitsseason 10 looking unlikely and the franchise continuing through spinoffs, it is unclear if Patrick J. Adams will ever play Mike Ross again. Even if hisYellowstonespinoff winds up being a short project, it would be hard to make a tenth season ofSuitswork without undoing certain aspects of the ending that made it so great. Thankfully, the main show doesn’t have to return for Adams to reprise his role as Mike. Thanks toSuits L.A.,Adams could appear as a guest or simply feature in a small cameo, satisfying audiences who miss the character.
Making Adams a permanent part of the cast would hinder the spinoff’s growth and make the new characters feel less important, butallowing Mike to help work a case or appear for a brief conversation would honor his legacy. Additionally, rumors of aSuitsmovie have emerged, which could help bring Adams back one last time without ruining the show’s finale. Adams will also be hosting a podcast where he rewatchesSuitsalongside Sarah Rafferty, meaning even if he doesn’t take up the mantel of Mike Ross again, he’ll still be heavily associated with the franchise.
