The original Suits series wasn't canceled but ended after Season 9 because main cast contracts ended (Meghan Markle's royal duties, Patrick J. Adams' personal reasons), and creator Aaron Korsh felt it was time to conclude after a successful run, with the recent Suits: L.A. spinoff canceled by NBC due to low ratings and poor audience resonance compared to the original's streaming success.
“Suits (LA) has had a very short run, but it really just has not resonated the way we thought it would. There can be many, many reasons — people are speculating why it hasn't resonated, but it's just not really showing the potential to grow for us in the future, unfortunately.”
No, Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) and Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty) are not married in real life; Gabriel Macht is married to actress Jacinda Barrett (who played Harvey's love interest Zoe Lawford on Suits), while Sarah Rafferty has been married to her Yale sweetheart Santtu Seppälä since 2001, but they are good friends. The actors have a close, long-standing friendship, but their characters' romantic relationship on the show is separate from their real-life marital statuses, though it's amusing to fans that Gabriel's real wife appeared as a love interest on the show.
Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) left Suits after Season 7 because actor Patrick J. Adams wanted to pursue other opportunities, felt his character's arc was complete, and was struggling with mental health issues, including depression and excessive drinking, during that time; additionally, co-star Meghan Markle (Rachel Zane) also departed to marry Prince Harry, which influenced the decision as their characters' storyline was intertwined.
No, there will not be a Season 10 of Suits, as the series officially concluded with its ninth season in 2019, wrapping up the main storyline with a definitive finale. While the show's popularity surged on streaming, creator Aaron Korsh confirmed no Season 10 or reboot is currently in the works, though a new Suits: LA spinoff with new characters is planned, and a revival would require immense coordination and desire from the original cast.
Meghan Markle left Suits because of her incoming role with the British royal family. "Suits" was a big show, no question of that, especially in the ranks of basic cable fare in the mid-2000s, but when the British royal family comes calling, priorities have to make a dramatic shift.
Adams does not appear in Season 8, as Mike married Rachel and they moved to Seattle to run a legal clinic in the Season 7 finale. However, he does return in a few episodes of Season 9, including the finale.

He was “seeking redemption,” show creator Aaron Korsch told “Deadline” at the time, but there was also a real-life reason: scheduling conflicts. “This is the only con to working with such a talented actor, that he is in demand,” said Korsch, adding, “I would like to see more of Robert Zane.”
Despite getting a job offer at his firm (Rand, Kaldor, Zane), Rachel goes to work as a senior paralegal at Pearson Hardman. She later becomes an associate at Pearson Specter Litt, the first who attended a law school other than Harvard. She marries Mike Ross and moves to Seattle in the season 7 finale.

The "5 suit rule" is a men's style guideline, popularized by Steve Harvey, suggesting that owning five essential suits—black, navy, gray, brown, and tan—allows you to create numerous outfits (often cited as 75+) by mixing and matching the jackets and pants with basic shirts (white, cream, powder blue) for maximum versatility. It's a strategy to build a foundational wardrobe with versatile pieces that can be combined to form many different looks.
