In an interview, Korsh admitted that he had no intention of having the two characters marry. But after hearing the arguments to just have the wedding and then have Mike go to prison to give something sweet to the fans in addition to something better, they decided to change it.
Eventually, the show decided to stick to the original plan so that was what happened during the Season 5 finale when Mike called off the wedding with Rachel.
The Season 5 finale of “Suits” saw Mike Ross making a plea agreement with the court to serve a two-year sentence for fraud on the condition that his colleagues in the law firm Pearson Specter Litt shall be spared from persecution.
“Suits” Season 6 would premiere on July 13 and it will pick up where the Season 5 finale left off, with Mike Ross about to start his two-year jail time.
While Mike checks in at Danbury Prison and begins to adjust to his new life behind bars, Pearson Specter Litt has to deal with the fallout of the Mike situation.
After partners of the firm left, the rebuilding of the legal entity shall be left to the hands of Harvey Specter, played by Gabriel Macht, Jessica, played by Gina Torres, Louis, played by Rick Hoffman, Donna, played by Sarah Rafferty, and Rachel.
