One of USA Network’s signature series, "Suits", will be coming to an end, but not before getting a final chapter. The network has renewed the legal drama for a 10-episode ninth season to air in summer 2019.
The news comes ahead of "Suits‘" Season 8 winter premiere tonight.
With the pickup, "Suits", from Universal Cable Prods., will become the longest-running original scripted series on USA, edging a few shows that had aired for eight seasons. Its final episode count will be 134.
Created by Aaron Korsh, "Suits", which debuted in 2011, was one of the last entries under USA’s previous programming strategy built around light procedurals. It rose to become the network’s most popular series for several years.
“Suits has played an instrumental role in our network’s DNA for nearly a decade,” said Chris McCumber, President, USA Network and SyFy. “I and everyone at USA Network sincerely thank Aaron Korsh, our partners at UCP and the entire Suits family for their tremendous creativity, devotion and support over a truly amazing run.”
Korsh took the opportunity to acknowledge everyone who had contributed to getting "Suits" on the air and to thank the show’s cast and crew, the fans as well as his wife and kids.
The "Suits" saga is not over as Gina Torres will star in the off-shoot "Pearson" which will debut in the spring.
