Both Adams and Markle didn’t return for Suits Season 8 for personal reasons. Adams wanted to spend more time with his wife and fellow actor Troian Bellisario and felt that Mike’s story was complete.

As for Markle, she began dating Prince Harry during her time on the show and made the decision to leave in Season 7 because their relationship was getting serious and the Royal Family has extremely strict rules about employment and being in the public eye, so she couldn’t keep her role.

Despite not returning for Season 8, Adams did make a few cameo appearances in Season 9 as one of his Seattle cases forced him to return to New York to face off against Harvey. The actor even returned for the series finale.

Adams has spoken candidly about how the idea to return was always in the cards, even after his departure. He told Entertainment Tonight, “Ultimately, it was about coming back. It was about, ‘We’d love to get the band back together,’ basically. Do one last trip around the world. It was as simple as that. For me, it was just an excuse to come and see everybody and really be here for the final moment.”
