Suits season 7: Patrick J. Adams to direct 100th episode
The news was confirmed over the weekend while at the ATX Television Festival; in a statement, Adams jokingly had the following to say about the gig:
“I couldn’t be more excited and honored to be directing the 100th hour of SUITS … We are blessed on this show with an incredible crew and an absurdly talented group of actors and writers. I’m looking forward to stealing all of their good ideas and getting to pretend they are my own.”
This is far from the first episode for Adams in the director’s chair, as he’s taken on the role three times already during the show’s run. He’s also not the only actor on the show to try their hand at directing, either; Gabriel Macht (who plays Harvey Specter) has also directed two episodes of the show in the past. This is a series that welcomes collaboration between its onscreen and off-screen players, which probably is why the show remains so strong so many years into the run.
The Suits season 7 premiere is slated at present to air on USA on Wednesday, July 12. Meanwhile, the 100th episode will air a little bit later in the season. Beyond the presence of Psych alum Dule Hill as a new series regular, there isn’t too much else known about the new season as of yet, beyond of course that Mike is now going to be working closely with Harvey once again. There’ll be some funny moments, but also some serious cases and moments where these characters continue to work through some of their issues.
Also, don’t forget that there is still a potential Gina Torres spin-off show brewing for those who love the Jessica Pearson character; hopefully, something more will be said on that through the coming weeks and months.
For the time being, what do you think about Adams directing the 100th episode, and is there anything that you want to see during the episode? (Personally, we’re hoping for a milestone for Mike and Rachel, and possibly Harvey and Donna looking at their future together.) Share below!
