The seventh season of the American legal drama Suits was ordered on August 3, 2016,[1] and started airing on USA Network in the United States July 12, 2017. The season has five series regulars playing employees at the fictional Pearson Specter Litt law firm in Manhattan: Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle, and Sarah Rafferty. Gina Torres is credited as the sixth regular only for the episodes that she appears in, following her departure last season.[2]
The season featured the 100th episode of the series, which was directed by Patrick J. Adams and aired August 30, 2017.[3] To celebrate the series' milestone, the main cast (including Gina Torres) and creator Aaron Korsh came together at ATX Television Festival for a live read-through of the series' pilot script. They were joined by Abigail Spencer and Nick Wechsler to read for the episode's guest stars.[4]
After Markle's engagement to Prince Harry was announced on November 27, 2017, it was confirmed by show producers the next day that she would be leaving the show at the end of the season.[5] The back half of the season aired from March 28, 2018, to April 25, 2018, concluding the season with a finale that saw the departure of both Markle and Adams.[6]
