These days that&#8217;s a common thing, but forty-seven years ago when I first wrote the <em>Untitled Korsh Project<\/em>, nobody did it. Nobody except the people at USA and UCP. First and foremost I would like to thank <strong>Alex Sepiol<\/strong> and <strong>Dennis Kim<\/strong>, without whom <em>Suits<\/em> would never have gotten made. I also cannot thank <strong>Bill McGoldrick<\/strong>, <strong>Jeff Wachtel<\/strong>, <strong>Bonnie Hammer<\/strong>, Chris McCumber, <strong>Ted Chervin<\/strong>, <strong>Dave Bartis<\/strong>, <strong>Gene Klein<\/strong>, <strong>Doug Liman<\/strong>, <strong>Dawn Olmstead<\/strong> and everyone at the network and studio enough for their dedication and support throughout the years. And to the exceptional writers, cast and crew \u2013 thank you for your passion and devotion, without which, <em>Suits<\/em> would be nothing. And last but never least, to the fans who have stuck with the Suits family through thick and thin, through can-openers and flashbacks \u2013 thank you for always speaking your mind. Without you, I might start to think I&#8217;m getting the hang of this writing thing. And once that happens, nobody wins. I look forward to enraging and hopefully sometimes delighting you with the final episodes. Finally, to my wife Kate and my children Cooper and Lucy. Thank you for enduring countless late nights and times away, for me to get to live my dream. I love you.
