Suitsran for eight seasons on USA Network from 2011 to 2019, with a cast that included Adams, Rafferty,Gabriel Macht,Meghan Markle,Rick HoffmanandGina Torres.
The series became a runaway hit for Netflix after it released the show in June 2023 and became one of Netflix’s most-streamed shows of 2023. In July of that year,Nielsenreported that the drama set a new record as the most-viewed acquired streaming title nearly four years after its series finale after racking up3 billion viewing minuteswithin its first week on Netflix.
Its popularity arguably paved the way for an upcoming spinoff series entitledSuits L.Aon NBC.
Speaking about theresurgence to PEOPLEin January, Adams said the “second swell” had been “really, really strange” to witness.
“It happened. And then it was one week and then it was two weeks and five weeks, and it kept going. And I think we had a twelve-week run at number one,” he recalled. “It’s just crazy. So we feel very grateful. And I think there’s something about the show that clearly continues to speak to people.”

“But it’s hard to find a show you can binge-watch that many episodes of these days, so that could have something to do with it,” she added. “But good shows are everlasting.”
