Suits blew up after the series was acquired and released on Netflix. Since launching on the streaming giant in the summer, the show spent 12 weeks at the top of Nielsen's overall streaming chart, earning more than 2.3 billion viewing minutes week after week. The first season spent 11 weeks on Netflix's Top 10 T.V. series in the U.S.
Meghan Markle, who played talented paralegal Rachel Zane, weighed in on Suits' success after being informed that the legal drama accumulated more than 45 billion minutes of streams on Netflix and Peacock combined, per Nielsen's streaming report.
"Isn't that wild? Is that right?" The Duchess of Sussex said when asked at Variety's Power of Women event in Los Angeles on November 26. As for her thoughts on the "renewed love" for the show, she said, "I have no idea. It was great to work on, such a great cast and crew. We had a really fun time. I was on it for seven seasons, so quite a bit."
The overwhelming success of the lawyer show even prompted the creation of a new spinoff set within the same universe. The spinoff is in development at Universal Studio Group's UCP and will feature entirely new characters in Los Angeles. Beatrice Springborn, president of Universal International Studios and UCP, said that the new show will "have the same energy and good looking people that the original did."

"We are working on it right now," Springborn told the audience at U.K. industry conference Content London, per Variety. "It's so fun and happy." She added that a returning show like Suits was now attractive to buyers. "A lot of streamers are looking for ongoing series, things that feel easy to watch," she explained. "Our show 'Suits' is incredibly huge on Netflix."
Stream the Golden Globes on Sunday, January 7, at 8 p.m. E.T. on CBS or Paramount+.
