The final season stars Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, Sarah Rafferty, Amanda Schull, Dule Hill, and Katherine Heigl, with Patrick J. Adams making a special guest appearance.

In the final season, Zane Specter Litt Wheeler Williams faces uncertainty and change after Robert Zane sacrifices his career to save Harvey.

Season 9 delves deeper into the characters' personal lives as they balance their relationships and work to restore the firm's reputation. The core characters, including Louis Litt, Alex Williams, Katrina Bennett, and Samantha Wheeler, must decide who they are and what kind of lawyers they want to be.
