The Next Chapter in the Suits Saga
Hold onto your legal briefs, Suits fans! The courtroom drama that has captivated audiences for nearly a decade is far from over. According to a Deadline report, series creator Aaron Korsh is in the process of developing a new offshoot for NBCUniversal. But don’t call it a revival, reboot, or even a spin-off. This project is an “offshoot,” introducing entirely new characters and shifting the setting to Los Angeles.
“While a network or streamer hasn’t been determined, yet, the project is expected to be fast-tracked with a serious commitment.”
The Netflix Effect on Suits Popularity
Ever since Netflix acquired the rights to Suits, the series has not only found a new audience but also served as a nostalgic trip for long-time fans. The show has been dominating viewership charts for the past four months, breaking numerous records along the way.
“With the new-found popularity of the series, Peacock also brought in the Pearson spin-off to the platform which also had a great reception from fans.”
What Sets This Offshoot Apart
Unlike the Pearson spin-off, which took us to Chicago, this new series is expected to unfold in the sunny landscapes of Los Angeles. It’s a fresh take, steering clear of being a revival, reboot, or traditional spin-off. Instead, it’s more in line with how NCIS expanded its universe—new faces in a new city but with the same DNA that made the original series a hit.
“This time around the series is expected to take place in Los Angeles, as opposed to New York or Chicago as seen in the Pearson spin-off series.”
High Expectations and Fan Reactions
The bar has been set incredibly high by the original series, which ran for nine successful seasons and boasted a star-studded cast. How will fans react to a completely new ensemble and storyline? Aaron Korsh, who will also serve as a producer, assures that the new series will capture the essence of what makes Suits so compelling.
“So, it is no big surprise that another offshoot is in development, however, it’ll be curious to see how fans respond to a completely new cast and plot while the bar has been raised so high by the mothership.”
The Legacy of the Original Series
Suits has been a cornerstone of NBC’s programming, especially with the final season that saw Meghan Markle‘s character, Rachel, exit the show before her royal wedding. The original cast, including Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, and Gina Torres, has left an indelible mark on the show’s legacy.
“The original series ran for nine seasons between 2011 and 2019 and was among the most successful ones for NBC.”
Stay Tuned for More
While we await more details, one thing is certain: the news of this offshoot is bound to attract even more attention to the already popular series. All seasons of Suits are currently available on Netflix and Peacock, so there’s no better time to catch up or revisit this legal drama.
So, whether you’re a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the series, keep your eyes peeled for this exciting new chapter in the Suits universe. It promises to be a thrilling ride through the legal landscapes of Los Angeles.
