Summary

• Suits experienced a resurgence on Netflix, leading to speculation about a potential season 10 revival of the show.
• The demand for a Suits reboot has been growing since the finale of season 9 in 2019.
• The chances of a Suits revival depend on having a suitable story and narrative justification, rather than just meeting audience demand.

Legal dramedy Suits experienced an explosive resurgence thanks to new streaming home Netflix, meaning speculation around the oft-discussed season 10 revival of the hit Aaron Korsh show. Initially running on the USA Network between 2011 and 2019, Suits followed Patrick J. Adams as Mike Ross, a man with a photographic memory who talks his way into landing a job as an associate for one of New York’s most prestigious firms. More specifically, Mike lied his way to the side of superstar attorney Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). While there were never plans for Suits season 10, the cast-chemistry and intricate drama meant many felt the show ended prematurely.

Helping launch the careers of several actors including Meghan Markle, Suits kept up the momentum throughout all 9 seasons, and a fresh audience finding the show on Netflix in such numbers proves just how skillfully put together the show was. A revival of Suits has been demanded almost since the moment the finale to season 9 aired in 2019. Now, thanks to the Aaron Korsh legal dramedy experiencing a surge in viewership thanks to Netflix, a Suits reboot looks likelier than ever before.

A Suits Spinoff Is On The Way

With the show's explosion in popularity taking the internet by storm, the Suits revival is still an uncertainty even as a Suits spinoff is currently in the works. Announced in early 2024, Suits L.A. is an off-shoot of the original series starring Stephen Amell as entertainment lawyer Ted Black. It's important to note that the spinoff is not a total reboot of the franchise, and that opens the door for future crossovers with the original cast. However, despite a robust ensemble already announced for Suits L.A., no original Suits cast are currently slated to reprise their roles.

Suits L.A. also stars The Walking Dead alum Josh McDermitt.

The Suits Revival Isn’t Confirmed

No Word On A Continuation Of The Original Series

with the announcement of the new series, Suits L.A., the future of the franchise is likely in the spinoffs.

While it’s been discussed numerous times by both show creator Aaron Korsh, his fellow producers, and several cast , a Suits revival isn’t confirmed. Should Aaron Korsh have an idea of where to take the story and signal his interest it’s incredibly likely that Netflix would renew Suits for season 10. However, with the announcement of the new series, Suits L.A., the future of the franchise is likely in the spinoffs.

The Suits Revival Cast

Would Any Original Actors Return?

The Suits was a key factor behind the success, legacy, and eventual Netflix resurgence of the show. It would be difficult to envisage season 10 of Suits being a success without Patrick J. Adams returning as Mike alongside Gabriel Macht as Harvey Specter. The chemistry between the pair was proved almost essential to the show during season 8 when Mike first moved to Seattle, so any Suits reboot would likely need to see Adams and Macht back to go ahead.

Several other Suits cast would likely be necessary for a Suits revival to work too. Chief among these is Sarah Rafferty as Donna Paulsen. Harvey's wife by the end of the show, the screentime shared by Donna and Harvey made for some of the best moments in Suits. The big question mark for the Suits revival cast is around Meghan Markle as Rachel. Rachel and Mike left Suits in season 7 after they moved to Seattle and settled down. However, in the time since, Meghan Markle married Prince Harry of the United Kingdom, and her duties as the Duchess of Sussex appear to have halted her acting career.

The Suits Revival Story

Did Season 9 Wrap Things Up?

A suitable plot for a new season of Suits is perhaps the key reason the revival has yet to go ahead. Series creator Aaron Korsh has been candid that he’d need to have a good story for Mike and Harvey to return on. What’s more, he’s also stated on numerous occasions that he’s proud of the ending of Suits season 9.

Korsh has been clear on social media and in numerous interviews over the years that he was given plenty of warning by the USA Network when it came to the show's conclusion, and managed to wrap up the story of Suits in a way he felt happy with. With no burning unanswered questions or cliffhangers to resolved, the plot of the Suits revival beyond it likely focusing on Mike and Harvey in Seattle is a total mystery.
