why did suits end

The TV show "Suits" ended primarily due to several key reasons: the departure of major cast members including Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams, contract negotiations uncertainties, and creative decisions by the show's creator. Meghan Markle left the show after season 7 because she became engaged and later married Prince Harry, joining the British monarchy and leaving acting behind. Patrick J. Adams also chose to leave around the same time, citing personal reasons including mental health. These departures led to the show's creators deciding to end the series after its ninth season rather than continuing without the original core cast. The final season was shortened to 10 episodes instead of the usual 16, which made the ending feel abrupt but allowed the show to wrap up storylines and set up a spin-off, "Suits L.A." The show's creator wanted to end on a high note, balancing cast changes and storytelling needs.
