'Suits' experienced resurgence in popularity on Netflix
Suits, which aired from 2011-2019, saw a resurgence in popularity after its release on Netflix last year and reportedly became the most-watched title ever acquired by a streaming service. "It feels like the perfect time to rewatch the show that changed our lives," said Adams and Rafferty. "We are thrilled to collaborate with the incredible team at SiriusXM and look forward to connecting with our friends from the cast and crew [and] the fans who made it all possible."
Meanwhile, some of the cast met for a reunion
The announcement of Sidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast coincided with a recent Suits cast reunion at the ATX TV Festival in Austin, Texas. Adams and Rafferty were joined by fellow cast members Dulé Hill and Amanda Schull, as well as executive producer Jeff Wachtel for a retrospective conversation. Notably, the popularity of Suits has also led to a new upcoming spinoff pilot, Suits: LA, for NBC, featuring Stephen Amell, Josh McDermitt, Bryan Greenberg, and Lex Scott Davis.
Plot of the show and streaming platforms
IMDb describes the show as, "On the run from a drug deal gone bad, brilliant college dropout Mike Ross finds himself working with Harvey Specter, one of New York City's best lawyers." Created by Aaron Korsh, it starred Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle, and Gina Torres, among others. In India, it's streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and JioCinema.
