With only a couple of weeks until “Suits” Season 6 episode 1 premieres, fans of the hit USA network series are tirelessly looking for spoilers online, eager to find out what will happen next to Harvey (Gabriel Macht) and Mike (Patrick J. Adams).
Speaking to Wet Paint, "Suits" creator Aaron Korsh said that nothing will ever be the same after that season 5 finale. He shared that while they were all scared to take that risk of sending Mike to prison, there was just no other way to bring the story forward. Korsh, however, believed that the risk eventually paid off.
On the other hand, Gabriel Macht, who plays Harvey Specter, shared that he is actually looking forward to the show's "reboot" come season 6. Now that the air has been lifted, Mike's secret is finally out, the actor believed that things can only go up from here. While there is still that issue with partners and associates leaving Pearson Specter Litt after the scandal, Macht believed that they will all be able to pull through it.
"Maybe we'll see these people smiling a little bit more or we'll see some more witty banter and more playful elements of the show. I think there will be more of a balance and a playful nature when we come back [for Season 6]," he said.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Korsh said that "Suits" Season 6 episode 1 will immediately pick up where the season 5 finale ended. It seems like Macht may have to wait a little bit longer before the lighter scenes kick in. The "Suits" showrunner said that the premiere will focus on Mike's first night in prison and the first night back at the firm after Jessica (Gina Torres), Louis (Rick Hoffman), Rachel (Meghan Markle) and Donna (Sarah Rafferty) found out that all the partners and associates decided to leave.
"What are they going to do based on this whole thing happening? Are they going to shatter, or are they going to come together and start fresh?" Korsh wondered.
"Suits" Season 6 episode 1 is expected to premiere sometime in June. Tune in for more spoilers and updates.
