In 2023, Suits became a streaming behemoth. The legal drama, which aired for nine seasons on USA Network from 2011 to 2019, generated 57.7 billion viewing minutes in 2023, according to Nielsen data. The increased popularity can be attributed to its inclusion on Netflix and Peacock. The newfound audience led NBC to develop a spinoff from creator Aaron Korsh.

In 2025, the world of Suits has found a new home in sunny California. Nearly six years after the show ended, Suits returns to television with its second spin-off, Suits LA. The show will introduce a new crop of lawyers who must broker deals with the West Coast's most powerful clients. Ahead of the show's premiere, find out everything you need to know about Suits LA.
