'Suits' Season 6 Spoilers: Patrick J Adams Teases A 'Whole New Show', Mike Takes A Beating [VIDEO]
It's time for Suits to trade Hugo Boss for prison duds. Mike Ross is headed to prison, and his two-year stint will be a little less Orange is the New Black and a little more Shawshank Redemption.
Suits faux Harvard grad fell on his sword as "25th Hour" came to a close, and season 6 will not skirt around the impact his prison sentence has had on all involved. "To Trouble" will find everyone's lives in turmoil, whether their behind bars, missing their fiancé, or battle off a scourge of law suits.
"Mike's decision to go to jail affected everyone in the show differently," Patrick J. Adams (Mike) revealed. "There are characters who are more affected. Obviously, Harvey was a part that's been in this lie for a long time so it's going to have a profound effect on him. I think he feels responsible. Rachel, who, obviously they were in love and were about to get married, this is going to have a hard effect on her. She's going to have to figure out what her life looks like without Mike in it for a while."
As Mike struggles though his life on the inside, you can expect to see a few new faces, including his cellmate Kevin Miller (Erik Palladino). Redemption lies on the other end of sentence, but he'll have to survive if he ever wants to wipe the slate clean (watch Mike take a beating here).
"Mike is a strong character and I think he knows it's a scary time, but it he can just put these two years in then he can atone for everything he's done and hopefully start fresh again," Adams teased. "It's a whole new show. The stakes are high and Mike really wants to figure out a way to get out of there, to get back to the people he loves, and to not get killed while he's in the process of doing it."
Do you think Harvey (Gabriel Macht) will be able to perform a little legal legerdemain to spring his pal early? Find out when Suits returns to USA on July 13.
