The departure of Gina Torres in the Season 6 midseason finale left a hole in the cast that the show couldn’t quite satisfactorily fill in the second half of Season 6.
Something tells me that Dule Hill may have the dramatic and comedic chops to fit right into the series and help usher Suits into a new era.
The arc for Alex Williams is slated to run for the whole of Season 7, according to THR, although it is not yet known if Dule Hill will appear in every episode.
It does bode well that Suits is bringing in fresh blood to lived things up next season.
