While she failed to score the role of Rachel Zane, which ultimately went to the royal, Schull joined the cast as Katrina Bennett, who later became a fan favorite.

AceShowbiz - Amanda Schull, known for her role as Katrina Bennett on "Suits", revealed that she auditioned numerous times before landing the part. Initially, she aspired to play Rachel Zane, a role that ultimately went to Meghan Markle. However, Schull believes destiny had a different plan for her.
Katrina became a fan favorite, evolving from an assistant district attorney to a name partner at Litt Williams Wheeler Bennett. Schull admits that while Rachel Zane might have seemed like a suitable fit, Katrina turned out to be the ideal role for her.
On the other hand, despite the absence of a traditional spin-off for "Suits," the cast has expressed interest in a potential reunion film or series. Schull, Patrick J. Adams, Sarah Rafferty and Dule Hill discussed the possibility at the ATX TV festival.
Hill envisions a film model similar to the one used for "Psych." Rafferty enthusiastically supports the idea, stating they would "have so much fun." Adams, being more pragmatic, acknowledges the possibility but emphasizes the need for the right time and story.
The cast agreed that the creator, Aaron Korsh, has expressed excitement about a film format. However, his current focus is on the spinoff "Suits: LA."
As for future appearances on "Suits: LA," the cast members expressed willingness if Korsh reached out. They believe there are more stories to tell, and as life progresses, they appreciate the opportunity to reconnect through a potential follow-up project.
Adams even joked about a possible Seattle-based spinoff, exploring the region where Mike Ross and Rachel Zane settled. While admitting Markle's involvement might be unlikely due to her other commitments, the cast emphasized their enthusiasm for future collaborations.
