Patrick J. Adams, known for his role in Suits, recently discussed the possibility of appearing in a spinoff of the long-running legal drama. Suits, which originally aired in 2011 and spanned nine seasons, seamlessly blended comedy with drama and concluded its run in 2019.
In 2023, Suits was revived when Netflix acquired the series, quickly becoming a top performer on the streaming platform. The ongoing popularity of Suits, also available on Peacock, has sparked demand from fans for a sequel or spinoff series. One of the show's stars has now shared their thoughts on this idea.
Suits star says if he’d return for spinoff series
Patrick J. Adams – who played Mike Ross in Suits – was just asked if he’d reprise the role for a spinoff, and his answer was a resounding yes.
Adams expressed his enthusiasm for returning to the show, saying "If I got the phone call, I’m ready to suit up again. I love the show, I love the character and I loved working with all these people," to Variety at the Golden Globes. Gabriel Macht, who plays Harvey Specter, also commented on the show's resurgence, stating "It’s an amazing thing. We had some great success when the show was on and all over the world, there were people downloading it, pirate downloading it." He also mentioned the impact of Netflix's involvement, saying "And then at a certain point, Netflix came in and said, ‘Why don’t we put this out there?’ And it’s just got incredible eyes and we’re very grateful for it," as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
What’s happening with the spinoff?
Back in October, THR reported that Suits creator Aaron Korsh was in the early stages of developing something new in the same universe, but that it wasn’t a reboot or sequel.
The potential series would introduce new characters and a new setting, possibly with crossover potential with the original show down the road. The most likely setting for the spinoff would be Los Angeles, but no further details were provided.
