Suits has set a new streaming record, becoming the highest-viewed acquired show in a single week with 3.674 billion minutes of watch time.
Viewership centered around the first season of Suits indicates that the show's appeal may continue to expand in the future. Having already premiered 9 seasons, Suits has the capacity to sustain its popularity and potentially set new milestones in the weeks ahead.
Suits has surpassed its own streaming record just one week after setting it, indicating that the series may become even more popular in the upcoming weeks. The show centers around Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Adams), a law firm associate with an exceptional memory, who works at the fictional Pearson Hardman law firm in New York alongside partner Harvey Specter (played by Gabriel Macht). Recently, Suits achieved a significant streaming milestone on platforms like Netflix and Peacock, securing the highest viewership for an acquired streaming show in a single week on the Nielsen charts, amassing a total of 3.14 billion minutes.
Now, the latest data from Nielsen reveals that Suits has once again broken its own streaming record, reaching an impressive 3.674 billion minutes of watch time during the week of July 3 to July 9. A report from Deadline highlights the substantial viewership focused on Suits season 1. With 9 seasons already aired, Suits has the potential to either maintain or surpass its current record-breaking popularity in the weeks ahead.
Why Suits Has Become A Massive Streaming Hit
Suits has broken streaming records for several weeks due to a combination of factors. The show's availability on both Netflix and Peacock attracts viewers from multiple streaming services, resulting in a higher number of minutes watched. Additionally, the character Rachel Zane, portrayed by Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, adds to Suits' success. Industry experts attribute the show's popularity to its alignment with the long-standing appeal of procedural television shows, particularly as a legal drama. Furthermore, Suits' nine-season completion provides viewers with a sense of longevity and a definite ending, attracting even more viewers.
Suits' success is noteworthy, as a significant number of viewers are only tuned in to season 1. This implies that there is a multitude of remaining episodes for them to enjoy, potentially boosting the show's overall viewership in the upcoming weeks. The extent of Suits' popularity on Netflix and Peacock is yet to be determined.
