Charles Barkley to Guest on Season 5 of USA Network's SUITS

When season five of the usa network fan-favorite series SUITS returns this summer, viewers will be treated to a cameo by TNT NBA Analyst, Charles Barkley.

Adams) and Rachel (Meghan Markle) must decide how and when to share their big news, but their excitement about their future together will take a back seat to Harvey and Mike's latest case.
