Suits Revival: Will It Happen? Everything We Know
For eight seasons, USA Network’s hit legal drama Suits captivated audiences with its witty banter, intricate plotlines, and unforgettable characters. The show, which premiered in 2011, followed the story of a brilliant college dropout, Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who landed a job at a prestigious law firm despite not having a law degree. The show’s success was largely due to the chemistry between its leads, including Gabriel Macht’s charismatic Harvey Specter and Meghan Markle’s intelligent Rachel Zane.
In July 2018, USA Network announced that Suits would be coming to an end after its ninth season. Fans were devastated by the news, but the show’s creators promised a satisfying conclusion to the series. The final season, which premiered in September 2018, saw the return of many beloved characters and tied up loose ends in a dramatic and emotional finale.
However, in recent months, rumors have been circulating about a potential Suits revival. With the success of USA Network’s other revivals, such as Psych and Monk, could Suits be next?
Rumors and Speculation
In February 2022, Gabriel Macht, who played Harvey Specter, hinted at a possible Suits revival during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. When asked about the possibility of a reboot, Macht replied, "I think it’s definitely possible. I think the characters are so beloved, and the show was so popular, that I think there’s definitely an appetite for more."
Patrick J. Adams, who played Mike Ross, also expressed interest in a potential revival, stating that he would "love to revisit the characters" and that he’s "sure the writers could come up with some great new storylines."
What Would a Suits Revival Look Like?
If a Suits revival were to happen, it’s likely that the show would follow a new direction. The original series concluded with Harvey and Rachel getting married and starting a family, while Mike and Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) had also found happiness. A revival could explore new storylines, introducing fresh characters and challenges for the beloved characters.
One possible direction could be a spin-off series, focusing on a new group of characters working at Pearson Specter Litt or a new law firm. This would allow the show to maintain its core elements while introducing new faces and storylines.
Another option could be a revival that jumps forward in time, perhaps 5-10 years after the original series ended. This would allow the show to explore the characters’ personal and professional lives as they navigate new challenges and responsibilities.
USA Network’s Stance
While there has been no official confirmation from USA Network about a Suits revival, the network has expressed interest in reviving popular shows. In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, USA Network said, "We’re always open to exploring new opportunities and revisiting beloved shows. If the right idea and creative team come together, we’d definitely consider it."
Conclusion
While there’s no concrete evidence of a Suits revival, the rumors and speculation have left fans excited and hopeful. With the success of other revivals and the show’s enduring popularity, it’s not impossible that Suits could make a comeback. Whether it’s a spin-off, a continuation, or a new direction, fans would likely welcome the return of their favorite characters.
Only time will tell if a Suits revival will become a reality. For now, fans can hold onto the memories of the original series and the characters that stole their hearts.
