The ninth and final season of legal drama Suits is finally making its way to Netflix - but fans will have to get used to one major change.

Since landing on the streaming site last year, the US legal drama has undergone a major revival as a new generation of viewers tuned in to watch the critically-acclaimed show - and it's safe to say they were impressed, with the show topping the top 10 list for four weeks in 2023.

However, fans who've binged the first eight seasons over on Netflix have been left waiting for the final instalment for what seems like forever - but our prayers have now been answered.

If you've been watching along on the streaming platform and wondering how the legal drama comes to a close then you'll be glad to know that the wait is nearly over, as the final season will be arriving on the platform on 1 July.

Suits is already available to watch for anyone with a Peacock subscription, which means that by July, you'll be able to watch the entire show undisturbed on both platforms.

The ninth season of Suits saw Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, Sarah Rafferty, Amanda Schull, Dulé Hill, Katherine Heigl, and Patrick J. Adams all reprise their roles for one last time as the team fought to save their firm's reputation after it was left in tatters.

However one face you shouldn't be expecting to see is Rachel Zane, as Meghan Markle - now known as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex - had already left the role in 2018 when she married Prince Harry.

Meghan's departure also led to the exit of another, with Patrick J Adams - who played Mike Ross, Rachel's eventual husband - also being written out of the series, with the two moving to Seattle after their wedding in the show.

Meghan's departure from the series will no doubt be a (very expected) disappointment for fans, as she had been part of the main cast since the show's premiere back in 2011.

However, once her relationship with Prince Harry became official, show bosses knew it was the end for her character, with plans being in place to have Rachel written out of the show.

When asked about Meghan's character in 2019, producer Aaron Korsh firmly ruled out a return for the Duchess of Sussex, telling the Television Critics Association at the time: "We're not currently pursuing asking Meghan Markle to leave her position with the royal family and join us.

"I would love it, but I think it's pretty close to zero."

However, fans shouldn't feel too sad about the departures, as Adams will pop up as a guest star in the final episodes.
