ALTHOUGH Suits concluded its original TV run in 2019, the show’s legacy has lived on due to its streaming popularity.
The series is available on Netflix but not all of the program’s nine seasons are on the platform.
Suits season 9 and its eight previous seasons are available to stream via Peacock.
Viewers can also watch Suits on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
However, only seasons 1 through 8 can be streamed on the former.
Originally, Suits ended its 9th season on September 25, 2019.
In the years following its initial conclusion, the series has maintained its acclaim.
The show’s success is often attributed to a combination of its streaming access, the buzz surrounding cast member Meghan Markle, and finding a new audience through TikTok.
According to Nielsen Soundscan, the program has broken streaming records with over 3.5million minutes.
Regarding the show’s legacy, showrunner Aaron Korsch told The Hollywood Reporter: “I think why people are tuning into it is a combination of that TikTok thing, there’s no doubt that there’s some curiosity about Meghan [Markle], and then Netflix knows how to entice you to watch a television show and then that builds on itself.
“Now, the reason I think people are responding to it? I think with the characters in Suits, people either see themselves in someone and or see who they wish they were, and it also has an inherent optimism to it, even though sad things do happen.
“It’s funny, I took a lot of heat over the years whenever something bad would happen to someone on the show, people really get upset about it.
“But in this period of time in the world, I think the characters and the underlying base optimism are why people are connecting to the show.”
Korsch added: “And then, maybe some of it is tonal because it has drama but also, it has humor.
“The other thing I’ll say is that some fans are enjoying watching it again, and I think some of the people who are rewatching are having a different experience with it the second time because they know what’s going to happen.
“It just relieves them of the burden of being angry when something doesn’t happen that they wanted to happen.”
On June 23, 2011, Suits made its debut on the USA network and the cast consisted of:
The team behind Suits has expressed their desire to move on from the series but has also kept their options open to possible sequels and spinoffs.
Korsch confessed: “It’s not like I can think of a ton of shows that have been rebooted that I’ve watched, where I was like, ‘Yeah, that was great.’
“Usually, I’m not even interested in watching them. So, again, if someone reached out and the cast was into it, I would consider it, if I could come up with something that excited me.
“But if I could wave a magic wand and get another show on the air, it wouldn’t be a continuation of Suits.”
On October 12, 2023, Deadline reported that Korsch and NBC are developing another Suits-related TV series.
The insider clarified the new program is not considered a spinoff or a sequel to the original show but takes place in the same universe.
The new show supposedly takes place in Los Angeles with a new roster of characters.
