How Meghan Markle’s Popularity Impacted Suits’ Netflix Dominance
Suits' resurgence in popularity has been attributed to a variety of factors in recent weeks. Despite its moderate success during its time on USA Network, the legal drama managed to cultivate a dedicated fan base. The show's newfound popularity can be attributed to a range of reasons, including its clever and engaging writing, as well as its excellent ensemble cast. In addition to these factors, it is worth noting that Markle's rise to fame, much like that of Adams, likely contributed to the increased interest in Suits when it became available on Netflix.
Prior to its availability on the streaming platform, it is worth mentioning that Suits was preceded by the Netflix-exclusive documentary series, Harry & Meghan, featuring Markle and Prince Harry. This series currently holds the record for the largest documentary debut on the service, with a staggering 81.6 million hours of viewership within its initial four days. The viewers of this series likely had an interest in seeing more of Markle as an actress, which ultimately contributed to the increased popularity of Suits on Netflix.
The resurgence of Suits on the streaming platform has sparked requests for a revival. However, due to Markle's retirement from acting, it would be challenging to bring back the entire cast despite the recent success. Nonetheless, if Adams returns as Mike, it is conceivable that he could provide fans with an update on Rachel's current situation, a tradition the legal drama upheld during the last two seasons whenever he made appearances in New York after leaving Pearson Hardman.
