Summary
Suits continues to dominate the streaming charts, breaking its own viewership record for the third consecutive week with 3.88 billion minutes streamed.
Premiering on Netflix in June, the legal drama series originally aired on the USA Network and quickly became the most-watched acquired series in a single week. The streaming success of "Suits" has also secured its position as the 13th most-watched single week streaming program since Nielsen began tracking streaming in 2020.
Suits has maintained its impressive success on the streaming charts, surpassing its own viewership record for the third consecutive week. This legal drama series, which aired on the USA Network from 2011 to 2019, boasts a talented ensemble cast including Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle, Sarah Rafferty, and Gina Torres. Since its premiere on Netflix in June, where it was already available for streaming on Peacock, Suits has shattered the record for the most-watched acquired series, accumulating a staggering 3.14 billion viewership minutes in a single week.
In the latest Nielsen streaming report for the week of July 17, TVLine has revealed that Suits' dominance in the streaming realm continues unabated. Having already set and broken its own record in the second week, the series has surpassed all expectations in week 3, amassing a remarkable total of 3.88 billion minutes of streaming. This achievement also ranks it as the 13th most-watched streaming program in the history of the chart since Nielsen started measuring streaming in 2020.
Is There a Future For Suits?
With its enormous streaming fanbase, it is logical to consider the possibility of a Suits season 10. However, no official announcement regarding a reboot has been made yet. This could be attributed to various factors, including the unlikely collaboration between Peacock and Netflix, which complicates the licensing agreement necessary for a potential reboot.
Another significant reason for the absence of a reboot is the influential role played by Meghan Markle, the star of the show. Following her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018 and her subsequent title as the Duchess of Sussex, Markle has abandoned her acting career. Having left Suits after season 7, her departure may diminish the allure of a reboot series, despite the strong performance of previous episodes on streaming platforms.
The potential success of Suits in the future may be hindered by a factor that previously contributed to its popularity in the streaming world: the writers strike. Currently, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) is advocating for fair compensation, and they have been joined by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA). This fight has resulted in the halt of numerous new projects, including the potential continuation of the series. Even if Suits receives approval to proceed, it will very likely be impacted by the strike, causing delays until the resolution of the dispute. By that point, the audience's interest in the show might have dwindled to some extent.
