Suits creator Aaron Korsch confirmed that Patrick J. Adams will return as Mike Ross in the final season of the series. In an interview with Deadline, Korsch said, “you can’t contemplate it without contemplating bringing Mike back.”

Adams could not deny his excitement and said, “I couldn’t be happier to be part of the final chapter of Suits.” He added, “I’ve missed my TV family, and am looking forward to seeing what kind of trouble Mike Ross can stir up at the firm one last time.”

On Mike’s episode 5 appearance, Korsch said, “What we tried to do with the case is, we want to have some fun scenes with Mike, we don’t want it to be all contentious. But we also didn’t want it to be just be no conflict, no contention,” Korsch further elaborated, saying, “They are on opposite sides but it doesn’t get too testy for the first chunk of it, and then as it ratchets up, things get a little bit more heated.”

Although, Mike’s appearance in the series finale was neither confirmed nor denied by Korsch. “He leaves and we are not sure if he is going to be back or not after he leaves,” Korsch said. “He may or may not be back again. If you know the history of my answers to that question, I’m leading you down a certain answer.”

How About Rachel?

Now that Adams’ come back is confirmed, a lot of questions are raised by many solid Suits fans about Meghan Markle’s return. “There is always a chance she is going to pick up the phone and call me and say can I come back,” Korsch explained. “And if she did she would be welcome back her with arms wide open. But no, l don’t see that happening.”
