We can’t WAIT for this.
The trailer for Suits‘ next season has officially landed – and, with it, Katherine Heigl’s first appearance on the show.
The seventh season finale saw both Patrick J. Adams and Meghan Markle exit the series, with Rachel and Mike tying the knot (among, y’know, some other spoilery things).
But now the legal drama has now given a first glimpse at what fans can expect when it returns in July.
And, as per the usual, there’s plenty of drama in store.
It was announced this year that Katherine Heigl would be joining the legal drama in the wake of Meghan Markle’s departure.
No stranger to TV roles, having shot to fame after starring in the series Roswell and later Grey’s Anatomy. She also had a string of popular movies; 27 Dresses, Knocked Up and The Ugly Truth, to name a few.
She will play the role of Samantha Wheeler, a new partner at Pearson Specter Litt who will “challenges the status quo”.
Speaking about joining the show, she told USA Network:
“Joining Suits was the perfect organic way to not only collaborate with an [Executive Producer] I admire deeply, but to also become part of a show and cast that I am an immense fan of.
I have watched Suits from the very beginning and feel incredibly lucky to be the newest member of the Pearson Specter Litt family.”
