Now it’s official.
We all guessed Meghan Markle would be leaving Suits. Between her body double on the show posting well wishes, her move to England and now her engagement to Prince Harry, the official statement only seemed imminent.
USA Network has now confirmed that our beloved character Rachel Zane will be leaving Suits after season seven which has just wrapped up filming.
In the statement, USA Network, producers of the hit television show said:
“Following the news of Meghan Markle’s engagement to Prince Harry, the beloved Suits star will depart from USA’s legal drama at the end of season seven, which returns to the network in early 2018.”
They continued…
“From all of us at USA Network and Universal Cable Productions, we want to send our most heartfelt congratulations to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on their engagement. Meghan has been a member of our family for seven years and it has been a joy to work with her. We want to thank her for her undeniable passion and dedication to Suits, and we wish her the very best.”
