VIDEO: Check Out New SUITS Promo, Now Starring Katherine Heigl

A new partner joins the firm, and she's not here to make friends. Katherine Heigl joins the cast of Suits when Season 8 premieres July 18th on USA Network.

Katherine Heigl joins the 8th season of the USA hit SUITS. Heigl, known for her role on GREY'S ANATOMY and 27 DRESSES, will play 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 returning series regulars Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, Rick Hoffman, and new series regular Dulé Hill. The new season premieres this July on USA.

One of Manhattan's top CORPORATE lawyers (Gabriel Macht) sets out to recruit a new hotshot associate and hires the only guy that impresses him -- a brilliant but unmotivated college dropout (Patrick J. Adams). Though he isn't actually a lawyer, this legal prodigy has the book smarts of a Harvard law grad and the street smarts of a hustler. However, in order to serve justice and save their jobs, both these unconventional thinkers must continue the charade. The series also stars Meghan Markle, Gina Torres, Rick Hoffman and Sarah Rafferty.
