Katherine Heigl Suits Up For ‘Suits’ Season 8 As Series Regular!

It looks like Suits has found it’s first new cast member post the Mike & Rachel era. Katherine Heigl will be joining the show in Season 8 it has been announced.

Heigl will be playing Samantha Wheeler, a talented new partner at Pearson Specter Litt who challenges the status quo and will either become the firm’s greatest ally or most powerful enemy.

“Joining ‘Suits’ was the perfect organic way to not only collaborate with an EP I admire deeply, but to also become part of a show and cast that I am an immense fan of,” she commented about the new role. “I have watched ‘Suits’ from the very beginning and feel incredibly lucky to be the newest member of the Pearson Specter Litt family.”

Heigl will join Gabriel Macht (Harvey), Sarah Rafferty (Donna ) and Rick Hoffman (Louis) who are all set to return, along with Dulé Hill, who joined this season as recurring character Alex Williams, and is being bumped up to series regular for Season 8.

The Emmy-winning and Golden Globe-nominated actress is probably best known for her work as Dr. Izzie Stevens on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, a show she left after clashing with producers. She has since gone on to take lead roles in ‘State of Affairs’ and ‘Doubt’, both of which only ran for 1 season. Let us hope her run on ‘Suits’ fairs better!

Suits Season 7b, is set to return to Netflix UK on Thursday, 29th March 2018 (around 8am), the day after the US airing.
