Meghan Markle and Patrick J Adams to leave Suits next year

US drama Suits looks set for a major shake up as two of its main stars look set to exit at the end of the next season.

A number of reports suggest that Patrick J. Adams and Meghan Markle, who play love birds Mike Ross and Rachel Zane on the hit show, have yet to sign on for the likely eight season.

Rumours around Meghan's departure has been circulating for months, with many speculating that the star, who has been in a relationship with Prince Harry since 2016, will move to the UK once her contract ends.

With the two actor's characters due to marry in season seven, it seems only right that the pair would leave their roles at the same time.

However, before you start thinking that Patrick got dealt a bit of a raw deal, an insider has told US Weekly that he was leaving the show regardless.

“He was always leaving the show. He made his mind up a while ago,” the source explained.

“Patrick wants to pursue other things and he’s realised his time at Suits has come to an end."

Meanwhile, The Chicago Tribune is reporting that a Suits spin-off is scheduled to start filming in Chicago this week.
