Despite Suits airing its last episode in 2019, the series has experienced a recent resurgence in popularity, especially after Netflix secured the streaming rights.
The legal drama claimed a prominent position on the Nielsen streaming charts, holding the number one spot for 12 weeks in the second half of 2023, following its addition to the platform.
Viewers who discovered the show on Netflix are now curious about the possibility of a continuation.
Suits, spanning nine seasons, with eight initially available on Netflix, prompts questions about the return of beloved characters like Harvey (Gabriel Macht), Louis (Rick Hoffman), Donna (Sarah Rafferty), and the potential comeback of Mike (Patrick J. Adams) as a regular.
The prospect of Suits returning for a tenth season seems unlikely at the moment.
The show underwent a soft reboot in season 8, with significant cast changes, and season 9 marked the expiration of contracts for key cast members.
Series creator Aaron Korsh also revealed that the decision to conclude the show after nine seasons was made after finishing season 6.
While the show concluded on its terms, its unexpected success on streaming platforms has sparked inquiries about a possible reboot.
Korsh, however, has tempered expectations, stating that there is currently no discussion about a Suits revival.
Despite the series finale leaving room for potential storylines, Korsh pointed out that industry challenges, such as the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, have impeded any revival talks.
Bringing back the ensemble cast and securing network or streaming support during these turbulent times remains a formidable challenge.
Suits’ only official spinoff, Pearson, which explored Jessica Pearson’s (Gina Torres) new career in Chicago, was unfortunately canceled after one season.
This highlights the importance of the ensemble cast to Suits’ success.
In the end, although the characters were given satisfying conclusions, the lingering question remains: could there be more in store for Suits in the future?
