On the date that the “Suits” series finale aired in September of 2019, Deadline published an interview with its creator and showrunner Aaron Korsh about wrapping up a project that defined his work life for the better part of a decade. As it turns out, Korsh never expected “Suits” to run for as long as it ultimately did. “When I wrote the first script I had no intention of even attempting to sell it,” he said. “I never contemplated even what would happen in episode two let alone episode 134. Then, even if I had, we went so much farther.”

Korsh told Deadline that he and his writing staff only just came up with the major plot beats of its ending near the conclusion of its penultimate season before nailing down some specifics midway, even, into its final run of episodes. Based on this timeline, some details of how and when “Suits” would end seemingly weren’t finalized until its last six months or so of its existence.

By his own account, then, Korsh’s ability to adapt and continue writing new episodes of “Suits” well beyond his initial plans resulted in 134 episodes across nine seasons, becoming one the longest-running dramas in USA Network’s history.
