There’s some good, but also bittersweet, news coming out this morning regarding the future of Suits — USA has confirmed that there will be a season 9! Yet, they also confirmed that it will also be the show’s last.

The final season is set for ten episodes, and we imagine that the goal here is going to be to tie up some loose ends and give us a proper goodbye for some of these characters.

In a statement, creator Aaron Korsh had the following to say:

“Though I know it isn’t true, it seems like only yesterday USA Network took a chance on an unestablished writer’s very first hour long script. These days that’s a common thing, but forty seven years ago when I first wrote the Untitled Korsh Project, nobody did it. Nobody except the people at USA and UCP. First and foremost I would like to thank Alex Sepiol and Dennis Kim, without whom SUITS would never have gotten made. I also cannot thank Bill McGoldrick, Jeff Wachtel, Bonnie Hammer, Chris McCumber, Ted Chervin, Dave Bartis, Gene Klein, Doug Liman, Dawn Olmstead and everyone at the network and studio enough for their dedication and support throughout the years. And to the exceptional writers, cast and crew – thank you for your passion and devotion, without which, SUITS would be nothing. And last but never least, to the fans who have stuck with the SUITS family through thick and thin, through can-openers and flashbacks – thank you for always speaking your mind. Without you, I might start to think I’m getting the hang of this writing thing. And once that happens, nobody wins. I look forward to enraging and hopefully sometimes delighting you with the final episodes. Finally, to my wife Kate and my children Cooper and Lucy. Thank you for enduring countless late nights and times away, for me to get to live my dream. I love you. Love, Aaron”

Do we think that Suits could have lasted longer than this? Where we are at this point with the story we would say yes there could’ve been more stories to tell — the show is still very good, and the new iteration of it with Katherine Heigl, Dule Hill, and Amanda Schull as series regulars has turned out to be so much better than anyone could’ve imagined. Yet, all things must come to a close, and Suits already has the distinction of lasting on USA longer than Monk or Psych, which are two of the network’s most-popular series.

We’re going to be sad to see Harvey, Donna, Louis, and the rest of the firm go off into the sunset, but at least there is that Jessica Pearson spin-off (entitled Pearson) still out there and that’s something to look forward to!
