What The Suits Cast Is Up To Now

At a time when the USA Network was known for airing scripted series unlike most of anything else on television, it premiered an irresistibly unique legal drama in the form of Suits, which ran from 2011 to 2019. Created by Aaron Korsh, the series followed the unlikely partnership of Mike Ross — a college dropout on the run from a drug deal gone bad — and a top-ranking New York attorney named Harvey Specter, who accepts him on to his team at Pearson Hardman LLC. 

We already know that at least one member of the original Suits cast will appear in the upcoming spin-off, Suits L.A. We shall reveal whom and what else the talented ensemble has been up to since closing the case below.

Gabriel Macht (Harvey Reginald Specter)

Prior to playing Harvey Specter, Gabriel Macht (the son of actor Stephen Macht, who once had recurring role on Suits) was best known for movies like 2001’s Behind Enemy Lines, Robert De Niro’s The Good Shepherd from 2006, and a comic book movie that deserves a reboot, 2008’s The Spirit, as the titular vigilante. Following the end of Suits, the actor told would appear in a Super Bowl T-Mobile ad with Patrick J. Adams in 2024 and is set to recur on the upcoming spin-off, Suits L.A.

Patrick J. Adams (Michael James Ross)

Despite debuting in a classic comedy like 2003’s Old School and guest-starring on several hit series like Lost and Friday Night Lights, playing Mike Ross on Suits really saw a career breakthrough for Patrick J. Adams. After leaving the series in Season 7, he led Disney+’s The Right Stuff cast as John Glenn and a 2023 time travel miniseries called Plan B, Amazon Prime’s A League of the Their Own series reboot, and did movies like 2022’s The Swearing Jar and He Went That Way from 2023. That same year, Adams joined a Johann Wolfgang von Goethe adaptation called Young Werther and, the following year, he was cast in an upcoming Netflix/BBC miniseries called Lockerbie.

Meghan Markle (Rachel Elizabeth Zane)

Easily the Suits cast’s most famous face is Meghan Markle, who had many notable small roles (including as a Deal or No Deal briefcase model) before she was cast as paralegal-turned-attorney and, later, Mike’s wife, Rachel Zane. She would also leave her role in Season 7 and retire from acting after she became engaged to Prince Harry, but after the couple stepped down from their working positions in the Royal Family, the Duchess of Sussex started hosting her podcast, Archetypes, and appeared in the Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan. There are also rumors suggesting Markle will show up in Suits L.A., but without confirmation.

Rick Hoffman (Louis Marlowe Litt)

The shady former managing and name partner of Litt Wheeler Williams Bennett, Louis Litt, is played by Rick Hoffman, whose first major small-screen role after the Suits finale was a recurring part on Showtime’s Billions as Dr. Swerdlow. In 2023, he reunited with his Hostel director, Eli Roth, to star in the 2023 slasher, Thanksgiving, and appeared in a Hallmark original time loop movie called Round and Round from the same year. According to THR, Hoffman will next star in an action comedy titled London Calling and a drama called Wildfire.

Sarah Rafferty (Donna Roberta Paulsen)

As Harvey’s assistant-turned-wife, Donna Paulsen, we have Sarah Rafferty, whose first major follow-up to the end of Suits was a recurring role on Grey’s Anatomy in 2020 and, that same year, she appeared opposite still-acting former child star Lukas Haas in a thriller called Browse. She went on to have a recurring stint on NBC’s Chicago Med and a starring role on the Netflix original 2023 TV show, My Life with the Walter Boys. As Variety reported in June 2024, Rafferty is teaming up with Adams for Sidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast, in which the former co-stars will discuss their experiences watching the series for the first time. 

Gina Torres (Jessica Lourdes Pearson)

Previously best known for playing Zoë in the Firefly cast, Gina Torres starred on Suits as Jessica Pearson, who led her own short-lived, self-titled spin-off in 2019. In addition to voice acting roles (the most recent being Ms. Moreno on the Disney Channel series Kindergarten: The Musical), the actor would find a starring TV series role again in Tommy Vega on 9-1-1: Lone Star. She was also in a 2023 Netflix rom-com called The Perfect Find and her upcoming film The Everything Pot premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2024.

Amanda Schull (Katrina Amanda Bennett)

Before corporate attorney Katrina Bennett became a main character in Season 8, Amanda Schull recurred in the role on Suits from 2013 to 2018 while starring on SyFy’s 12 Monkeys series. Schull would later appear in Netflix’s action-comedy series The Recruit, reunite with Torres for five episodes on 9-1-1: Lone Star in 2023, and has found success starring in Hallmark movies — including 2024’s Family Practice Mysteries: Coming Home. Next, she will appear in the upcoming Spider-Man TV show, Spider-Noir.

Dulé Hill (Alex Williams)

Also recurring before joining the main ensemble was Alex Williams — played by Emmy nominee Dulé Hill, who was previously known from the West Wing cast and fellow USA hit Psych, which spawned three feature-length continuations he also starred in. Today, Hill plays Bill Williams on ABC’s The Wonder Years reboot and has been cast in an upcoming Hulu miniseries based on the story of Natalia Grace called Good American Family. He is also reuniting with Psych co-star James Roday Rodriguez for a dramedy called American Dog.

Katherine Heigl (Samantha Wheeler)

Essentially brought in as Meghan Markle’s replacement was former Grey’s Anatomy cast member Katherine Heigl as Zane Specter Litt’s newest partner, Samanatha Wheeler. The Emmy-winner later found a starring role on Netflix's hit drama Firefly Lane in 2021 and starred in a psychological thriller called Fear of Rain the same year. Heigl is set to star in a romantic-comedy musical called That’s Amore! and is playing the first female presidential candidate, Victoria Woodhull, in an upcoming miniseries called Woodhull.

In addition to these main Suits cast members, we also wanted to highlight Robert Zane actor Wendell Pierce (who went on to star on Amazon Prime’s Jack Ryan series), Abigail Spencer (who currently stars on NBC’s Extended Family) as Scottie, and Rachael Harris, whose notable credits after playing Sheila Sazs include Hulu’s Goosebumps series and Netflix’s Unfrosted. Could we see any of them reunite with Gabriel Macht in Suits L.A.? For now, the jury is still out.
