The potential spinoff would have focused on Zane's journey as he began his legal career in the 1990s, right after graduating from law school. Despite the network's disinterest, Korsh is still considering the possibility of exploring Zane's backstory through a prequel series.

Suits creator Aaron Korsh recently discussed a prequel show that ultimately did not come to fruition. With the show's immense success and popularity, there is a lot of curiosity surrounding its potential future and any spinoff projects that were left unrealized. Producer Gene Klein had previously mentioned a potential spinoff centered around Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman), but it never came to be. In a recent social media post, Korsh expressed his interest in a prequel focusing on Wendell Pierce's character, Robert Zane.

Pierce appeared frequently in the series, portraying the role of Rachel's (Meghan Markle) father. The proposed prequel would have taken place in the 1990s, focusing on Zane right after he finished law school. However, the USA network, which originally aired Suits, did not express interest in the concept at that time. Despite this, Korsh remains open to pursuing the idea.

What Does The Future Of Suits Look Like?

The future of a Suits revival remains uncertain, despite its headline-grabbing success in the legal drama realm. The potential project has faced setbacks due to ongoing strikes involving both the writers and actors. Although they have returned to the negotiating table, key issues still need to be resolved. Even if a deal is reached, it would require a voting process for final agreement. Additionally, the end of the actors' strike, which could be a lengthy process, is also necessary.

Another consideration is the availability of the ensemble cast and their willingness to reprise their roles. Although it is probable that a revival will occur due to the show's growing audience, there are practical obstacles that prevent an immediate reboot or revival.

Nevertheless, a potential revival could take the shape of a spinoff or a prequel. It is possible that the main cast could agree to return for a limited number of episodes in order to lay the groundwork for another project that expands the Suits franchise. This will be a significant factor to anticipate once productions resume, as both Netflix and Peacock will be eager to revive this popular legal drama.
