Katherine Heigl is laying down the law again: The ex-Doubt attorney is joining Suits as a series regular, TVLine has learned. Heigl’s casting comes a day after USA Network renewed the long-running legal drama for an eighth season — its first without original cast members Patrick J.Adams and Meghan Markle.
The Grey’s Anatomy vet will star as Samantha Wheeler, a talented new partner at Pearson Specter Litt who “challenges the status quo and will either become the firm’s greatest ally or most powerful enemy.” She joins an ensemble that includes returning series regulars Gabriel Macht (Harvey), Sarah Rafferty (Donna), Rick Hoffman (Louis) and her former Doubt co-star Dulé Hill (Alex).
