But in 2023, Suits received a new lease of life when Netflix picked up the series, the show quickly taking up residence at the top of the streamer’s charts.

As for the show’s resurgence, Gabriel Macht – who plays Harvey Specter – said: “It’s an amazing thing. We had some great success when the show was on and all over the world, there were people downloading it, pirate downloading it. And then at a certain point, Netflix came in and said, ‘Why don’t we put this out there?’ And it’s just got incredible eyes and we’re very grateful for it.”

What’s happening with the spinoff?

Back in October, THR reported that Suits creator Aaron Korsh was in the early stages of developing something new in the same universe, but that it wasn’t a reboot or sequel.

As per the article, “Instead, the potential series would feature new characters and a new setting, similar to other multi-show franchises (whether there would be any crossover potential with the original is a question for much further down the road).”

The piece adds that the most likely setting for the spinoff would be Los Angeles, but that was it in terms of details.

Suits is streaming on Netflix and Peacock now. Check out more coverage below:
