It premiered alongside the final season of suits on July 17, 2019. This season didn't take place in New York City either, and instead focused on Jessica taking on the Chicago law scene.
Rumours swirled recently that the beloved television show would have a reboot. Patrick J. Adams fueled these rumours by posting throwback pictures on his social media pages from behind the scenes of Suits.
"Let's get serious. Seriously. I miss my friends. Each and every one of them," He captioned one of his posts. The photos included unseen pictures of Meghan as well as other cast members. Patrick's character Mike fell in love, and eventually married, plucky Rachel played by Meghan.
"Law is a precise endeavour, Patrick. Be clear. The reboot is coming, right?" one person commented on Patrick's post. Another added: "I miss you all of you! Please do another season!!! Bring Rachel back too!"
