Is Pearson Hardman hiring? Because word on the street is that there’s a newSuitsshow in the works atNBCUniversal.
In a breaking report fromDeadline, it was revealed that the creator ofSuits,Aaron Korsh, is working on a new legal drama set in the same universe. However, the show is not being billed as a “reboot” or a “spinoff,” and it is likely that the series will contain an entirely new cast of characters (at least, in the beginning). Sorry, Meghan Markle fans.
Reporter Nellie Andreeva writes: “Deals are still being negotiated, but I hear the project is expected to be fast-tracked with a serious commitment.”
Suitsran for nine seasons, from 2011 to 2019, and the first eight seasons wererecently uploaded to Netflix, where the show quickly shot into the site'slist of most-watched shows. Just last month, the proceduralbroke a major record, becoming the first-ever show on the site to garner 3 billion minutes viewed for seven weeks straight. (However,Stranger Thingsstill holds the recordfor most minutes watched after a total of eight weeks.)
It is likely that this streaming success on both Netflix and Peacock (where the series was also uploaded) has been the cause for talks of a new show. Not to mention,Suitsalum Patrick J. Adamsgot fans buzzinglast month, fueling rumors of a reboot after he posted a behind-the-scenes photo from the show.
As dedicated fans of the series might already know, a spinoff, titledPearson, was released in July 2019, but it was canceled that same year after only one season.
Now, creator Korsh seems to have faith in another crack at expanding theSuitsuniverse. While responding to the streaming success of the show, hewrote, “I always thought we were underestimated, but it turns out, even I underestimated #Suits. It’s good to be the King.”
According to Andreeva, theSuitsseries that's in the works is being pitched similarly to aCSIorNCISoffshoot. Los Angeles is being considered as the backdrop for the series.
Another show likeSuitswould certainly please the court.
