Suits cast - where are they now?
Gabriel Macht and Patrick J Adams starred in the hit legal drama - but where are the cast now?
Long-running legal drama Suits may have been popular during its initial run, but it's reached an even wider audience in recent years, since its debut on Netflix.
Now, it will reach even further in the UK, as the series comes to BBC One and BBC iPlayer. With a spin-off series currently in development, it seems like the Suits resurgence is full steam ahead.
The new spin-off is expected to feature a whole different cast of characters, meaning viewers shouldn't expect to see Gabriel Macht or Patrick J Adams popping up. But, with a cast including the now Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, fans may be wondering where the stars of the original show are now.
Read on for everything you need to know about where the cast of Suits are now.
