Suits — which also stars Meghan Markle and Gabriel Macht — follows the character of Mike Ross (Adams), who find himself working at a law firm alongside some of New York City’s best lawyers including Harvey Specter (Macht), Donna Paulson (Rafferty) and Rachel Zane (Markle).
The reunion comes after Suits had a resurgence in popularity after debuting on Netflix in June.
The following month, Nielsen reported that the legal drama, which aired on the USA Network between 2011 and 2019, set a new record as the most viewed acquired streaming title nearly four years after its series finale.

The show hit 3 billion viewing minutes between its two streaming platforms Peacock and Netflix for the week of June 26 to July 2.
On Netflix, which has the show’s first eight seasons available for streaming, Suits’ first season accumulated more than 26 million hours viewed during that week alone, according to Netflix’s Top Ten list.
Markle, 42, who departed the show after its seventh season following her engagement to Prince Harry, recently shared her delight at the show’s renaissance at Variety‘s Power of Women event in Los Angeles on Thursday.
When asked by Variety about what she thinks is behind the “renewed love” for the show, the Duchess of Sussex said, “I have no idea. It was great to work on, such a great cast and crew. We had a really fun time. I was on it for seven seasons, so quite a bit.”
“But it’s hard to find a show you can binge-watch that many episodes of these days, so that could have something to do with it,” she added. “But good shows are everlasting.”
