The legal drama—which perhaps is most known because it starred Meghan Markle as paralegal Rachel Zane—became the most streamed series in the U.S. for 12 weeks straight after arriving on Netflix in June.
The show's renewed popularity has sparked NBC Universal’s interest in a new project, and Tatler reports that series creator Adam Korsch is in the early stages of development of the show, which will take the series from New York City to Los Angeles and “will not be a reboot or sequel,” Tatler reports. “It will instead be a companion piece, perhaps much like The Good Wife’s The Good Fight and Cheers’ Frasier.”
The new project would actually become the third Suits show, following the one-season spinoff Pearson, which starred Gina Torres as Jessica Pearson and was set in Chicago; the third project will feature not just a new location but new characters, as well.
Markle left the series at the end of season seven, with her last episodes airing just one month before her wedding in May 2018. All of Meghan’s Suits castmates were in attendance when she married Prince Harry.
Aside from Netflix, Suits is also available to stream on NBC’s streaming platform Peacock. Between those two streaming services, viewership for the show hit the 2.359-billion-minute mark, The Daily Mail reports. The series spans nine seasons and 134 episodes.
