Season 7 will introduce a new rival lawyer whom Harvey (Gabriel Macht) will compete with in terms of gaining good clients. Meanwhile, Stu (Ian Reed Kesler) appears to be returning to the firm, this time, for Donna (Sarah Rafferty).
"Suits" returns with its seventh season this coming July, following Harvey Specter as the new managing partner of Pearson Specter Litt, with Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) by his side as a full-fledged lawyer.
The new season is anticipated to feature big conflicts between Harvey and Louis (Rick Hoffman) in running the firm, and a few complications with Mike's new status, given that his aim is to focus on helping pro-bono cases.
Aside from conflicts within the walls of the firm, Harvey will compete with one of his longtime friends in a pool of clients.
The Hollywood Reporter confirms that "Psych" alum Dule Hill will be playing Alex Williams, one of Harvey's old friends who is a senior partner at a rival firm, Bratton Gould. Williams is described to have an "enviable" list of clients, which is sure to be targeted by Pearson Specter Litt in rebuilding its name.
Meanwhile, "Suits" will bring back the financial guy who rented out Pearson Specter Litt for office space, Stu Buzzini. However, his return might have something to do with Donna.
In the official preview trailer of "Suits" season 7 episode 1, Stu tells Donna, "You want more. You deserve it."
Previously in "Suits," Donna made it clear she wanted more out of her life. It is possible that she continues fighting for her app, and Stu might be one of her investors.
Another possibility is that Stu is a new love interest for Donna. However, the show has never seen Donna replace Harvey as her number 1 man.
"Suits" season 7 will premiere on July 12, Wednesday, on USA.
