Question: Was Suits on the bubble this season? Because that sure looked like a series finale on Sept. 14. When they wrote that episode, they were either anticipating not being renewed, or they are rebooting the show come winter. —Rick
Matt Roush: That will be music to their ears, I’m sure. I don’t think the suits behind Suits thought their show was in any danger. This was the season when everyone had to face the consequences of the fraud they had been perpetrating since the very first episode, and with (spoiler alert) Jessica now taking her leave, the show is basically rebooting for the future. I just hope it can get some of the fun back, now that Mike will be acting more as consultant than lawyer. (Lorri also wrote in to wonder if the summer finale might have been an actual series finale, so Rick isn’t alone in his reaction.)
Question: Will there be a spin-off to Rizzoli & Isles following Jane Rizzoli and her FBI buddies at Quantico? They did a big episode with her there, and the instructor came to visit and they slept together. — Deirdre
Matt Roush: It’s unlikely. TNT is moving away from this sort of light procedural in its drama development, and if there were to be a Major Crimes-type offshoot forthcoming, we’d probably already be aware of it.
