Summary
The hit TV show Suits is getting a new spinoff show at NBCUniversal after its explosive success on Netflix.
The upcoming show, created by Aaron Korsh, will expand on the original universe but is not a reboot or revival. Suits centered around a prominent New York City corporate law firm, highlighting the ingenious strategies employed by the renowned attorney Harvey Specter and his protégé, Mike Ross, who did not attend law school.
NBCUniversal is moving forward with a new Suits TV show following the explosive success of the show on Netflix. Created by Aaron Korsh, the legal drama revolves around a New York City corporate law firm and their strategic approach to winning lawsuits and closing cases. The main focus is on star attorney Harvey Specter and his protégé Mike Ross, who never graduated from law school. Led by Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams, Suits was a successful nine-season run on USA Network, even spawning a short-lived spinoff centered on Gina Torres' character Jessica Pearson.
According to Deadline, NBCUniversal is greenlighting a new Suits TV show. This decision comes a few months after the legal drama premiered on Netflix and topped the streamer's viewership charts, surpassing previous records set by the Tim Burton-produced Wednesday show. Korsh will be returning to develop the new show, which will not be a reboot or revival, but rather a story set within the larger universe of the original series.
Can The New Suits Show Match Its Netflix Success?
The success of Suits on Netflix made it inevitable that a new version of the show would be announced. It has consistently ranked in the Top 10 charts for 13 weeks in a row. In the weeks following its resurgence on Netflix, the show's creator, Korsh, has discussed the future of the franchise. He has expressed doubts about making it happen, as he is concerned about finding a compelling story for a revival or reboot. Korsh also mentioned that the ongoing writers strike posed a significant obstacle in moving forward. He emphasized the importance of the cast and crew collectively wanting to come back, which he considered to be no small feat.
Although both long-time fans of the show and recent converts after its Netflix debut may initially be thrilled about the new project's development, there is doubt as to whether it can replicate the same level of success as the original run or its record-breaking streaming tenure. Pearson serves as a cautionary example of the challenges the new show may face, as despite airing alongside Suits' final season, it failed to generate comparable interest from audiences, barely surpassing one million viewers per episode. Most viewers watched it later on DVRs rather than live, leading to its swift cancellation.
The one potential advantage the new Suits spinoff has for success is the surge in streaming-specific content since the original's premiere. NBCUniversal has already partnered with Netflix for the highly acclaimed adaptation of The Umbrella Academy, and they also have their own streaming platform, Peacock. This gives the studio multiple options for premiering the show, rather than exclusively on the USA Network. If the spinoff achieves success upon its debut, it may even pave the way for a Suits revival or feature cameo appearances from beloved characters, similar to How I Met Your Father.
