Suits season 7 release: Will Mike Ross finally marry Rachel Zane in this series?
SUITS season 7 is going to be kicking off its second half tomorrow in America before dropping on Netflix. But the big question that all fans want to know is: will Mike Ross will finally marry Rachel Zane in the new series?
Patrick J Adams and Meghan Markle return for Suits season seven
Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams have confirmed that they are going to be leaving Suits at the end of season seven as Rachel Zane and Mike Ross respectively.
Markle, 36, is going to be getting married in real life to Prince Harry and confirmed last year that she’d be moving away from acting, while Adams, also 36, stated family commitments for his exit.
The duo have been part of Suits since the show first aired back in 2011 and an item for nearly all that time.
Their joint departure from the US legal show has prompted questions over whether the onscreen couple will tie the knot in the drama.
Will Mike Ross marry Rachel Zane in Suits season 7?
The couple have had their ups and downs over the years, particularly with Mike trying to hide big secret: he isn’t really a lawyer and didn’t graduate from Harvard.
As Suits fans will remember, Rachel was left jilted at the altar after Mike was arrested and thrown into prison.
Mike eventually got out of jail and the first half Suits season seven saw the couple getting back on track with sorting out their impending nuptials.
One of the big moments was changing the venue from Harvey Specter’s (played by Gabriel Macht) apartment to a swanky hotel in Manhattan.
Suits creator Aaron Korsh has confirmed that Mike and Rachel will finally get married, announcing to Deadline earlier this year: “I’m going to go ahead and say ‘Yes’, how’s that?”
The writer went on to tease that the wedding would “probably” be taking place in the latter half of season seven.
More recently, Korsh spoke to Variety about the couple: “There is no doubt that we are going to honour the relationship of Mike and Rachel before we send them off.”
He added: “We absolutely had all those moments in mind when we decided how we’re going to send them off and what we’re going to do.”
Korsh said that he knew “early on” that the pair were going to be leaving and that he didn’t have to re-write season seven.
The producer said that Markle’s relationship looked like it was “going well”, going on to explain: “I guessed that if she married a prince that she wasn’t going to stay on the show.
“So we decided, in our hearts, to bank on her finding love and kind of having a fairy tale ending in her own life and assuming that good things were going to happen for her.”
Talking about how he planned to write Markle out of the show, Korsh stated: “Plus it would be easier to undo a decision to write her off than it would be to at the last minute have to make her leave.
“She would have to get hit by a bus or something, and I didn’t want to do that.”
So, it looks like both Mike and Rachel will be getting the happy ending that they deserve and walking off together into the sunset.
A promo released by the USA Network called Time to say Goodbye charted the couple’s biggest moments on the show from Mike first seeing Rachel to the marriage proposal.
New footage telling saw Rachel telling Mike: “It will be the adventure of a lifetime”, suggesting that the couple would be leaving the Big Apple for a new life somewhere else.
Suits season 7, Part B starts on Netflix on March 29.
