Suits, a long-running mainstay on cable’s USA Network that became a streaming phenomenon last year, will make its broadcast debut this fall on MyNetwork TV.
The show’s slot in Fox’s Monday-through-Friday syndicated programming block, which reaches 97% of U.S. TV homes, will mark the first time it will be available on free television. A premiere date has not yet been announced.
The legal drama, which premiered on USA Network in 2011, became a streaming phenomenon when it landed on Netflix and NBCUniversal’s Peacock in 2023. Even though the Netflix run was non-exclusive (the show’s full nine seasons can only be streamed on Peacock), it racked up viewing minutes in the tens of billions and broke a number of Nielsen records. The surge of interest led to NBCU and creator Aaron Korsh to plot out an entire Suits universe, with new iteration Suits: L.A. landing a pilot order last February.

As “Suits” continues to overperform as a streaming acquisition on Netflix, the hit legal drama is finally coming to broadcast TV. Primetime programming service MyNetwork TV has picked up an off-network run of “Suits” for this fall, making its broadcast TV debut.
The pickup was announced Monday by Frank Cicha, executive VP of programming for Fox Television Stations. “It’s become increasingly more difficult, if not impossible, to launch obscure product on broadcast TV. ‘Suits’ is arguably the most buzzworthy scripted series of the last half decade, and MyNet looks forward to amplifying its success by introducing it to the broadcast television audience. And we’re discussing some fun ways to do just that.”
“Suits,” created by Aaron Korsh, originally ran on USA Network for nine seasons (and 134 episodes) between 2011 and 2019. NBCUniversal Syndication Studios distributes the series to broadcast; this is believed to be the first time a series started...

NBCUniversal’s expansion of the Suits universe is taking another step forward.
Following the runaway success of the former USA Network legal drama on streaming platforms last year, NBC has ordered a pilot for a companion series. The project, from Suits creator Aaron Korsh, is called Suits: L.A. and will be set in the same world as the original show — but will follow a new group of characters.
Universal Studio Group’s UCP, which produced the original, is also behind the Los Angeles-set spinoff. The studio and Korsh started developing the project in October, following Suits’ massive summertime run at the top of the streaming charts after it was added to Netflix (the series also streams on NBCU’s Peacock platform). At the time, it wasn’t clear where the project would land, although somewhere within NBCU was most likely. With USA largely out of the scripted business, NBC became the pilot’s home.

As Deadline reported exclusively in October, the project, from Suits creator Aaron Korsh, is not a revival or reboot of the popular USA Network series and, unlike the 2019 Pearson, the new legal procedural is not a spinoff either — it would be a Suits universe series in the vein of the CSI and NCIS franchises featuring new characters in a new location, Los Angeles.
Like Suits, which was set in New York and filmed in Toronto, Suits: L.A. also will film in Canada, with Vancouver standing in for Los Angeles. Production is slated to begin in March, I hear.
Korsh executive produces alongside David Bartis, Doug Liman and Gene Klein, who were EPs with him on the original series.

After a summer of breaking streaming records, Suits may be opening some new offices.
Series creator Aaron Korsh is in the early stages of developing a show set in the world of his USA Network legal drama for NBCUniversal — but it’s not a reboot or sequel. Instead, the potential series would feature new characters and a new setting, similar to other multi-show franchises (whether there would be any crossover potential with the original is a question for much further down the road). Los Angeles is the most likely setting for the project, sources say.
Universal Studio Group’s UCP produced Suits for USA, and discussions are underway with the studio about the new project. A potential series from Korsh would most likely run on an NBCU-owned platform.

A new series set in the world of “Suits” is in very early development, Variety has confirmed with sources.
The new show would hail from Aaron Korsh, the creator of “Suits.” At this time, it would not be a spinoff, prequel, or sequel to the original show, but rather would feature entirely new characters in a new setting.
Nothing is finalized as of yet, but given the recent success of “Suits” on streaming, it is believed to be a high priority for NBCUniversal. No network is attached to the project at this time. “Suits” and its spinoff “Pearson” originally aired on USA Network, but given the fact that network has largely moved away from scripted fare of late, it is doubtful any potential new show would land there. UCP, which produced the original show, is in talks to produce the new show. David Bartis and Doug Liman, who were on executive producers on the original,...

Banking on the renewed interest in “Suits,” which has become a streaming hit on Netflix 12 years after it first debuted on the USA Network, Peacock has exclusively added the legal series’ short-lived spinoff, “Pearson,” to its ranks.
Gina Torres starred as title character Jessica Pearson in the Chicago-set offshoot, which was canceled after one season. The story picked up after Pearson had been disbarred in New York State and accepted a job as a fixer for Chicago Mayor Bobby Novak (Morgan Spector).
The series, which was more about politics than legal battles, was based on a suggestion by Torres after the 2016 election. She also came on board as a producer.
“I started talking to [executive producers] Aaron Korsh and Daniel Arkin, and we started throwing ideas back and forth, until it became what it is now,” Torres told Collider in 2019.
“Jessica really is a shark… She’s gotta keep moving. She’s...

Peacock is hoping to drive some eyeballs to Pearson, the short-lived Suits spin-off, after the latter became a surprising hit on Netflix this summer.
The NBCUniversal streamer has added the show, which starred Gina Torres, to its service today. It is hoping that new Suits fans may discover the spinoff as well, which is not available on Netflix.
Pearson ran for one season on the cable network in 2019 but was canceled a month and a half after its season ended.
Toplined by mothership series alumna Torres, Pearson centered on her character, powerhouse lawyer Jessica Pearson, as she enters the dirty world of Chicago politics. It also stars Bethany Joy Lenz, Morgan Spector, Chantel Riley, Simon Kassianides, Eli Goree and Isabel Arraiza.
Pearson originated on Suits, whose Season 7 finale served as a backdoor pilot for the spinoff.

Black Adam‘s Noah Centineo is ready to engage in more action by starring in The Recruit for Netflix. Created by Alexi Hawley, who executive produces and showruns the series, The Recruit is an action-packed political thriller with enemies of the state closing in on all sides. Netflix unleashed The Recruit trailer on Wednesday, blending quippy comedy with deadly consequences and scenes of intense action throughout.
The Recruit centers around Owen Hendricks (Noah Centineo), a young CIA lawyer whose first week on the job turns upside down when he discovers a threatening letter by former asset Max Meladze (Laura Haddock), who plans to expose the agency unless they exonerate her of a severe crime. Owen quickly becomes entangled in a dangerous and often absurd world of power politics and mischievous players as he travels the world hoping to complete his assignment and make a mark at the CIA.

Fresh off “Black Adam,” Noah Centineo is back on Netflix, albeit in very different form. The “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” stars in the first trailer for “The Recruit,” a spy series heading to the streamer next month.
The series was created by Alexi Hawley, best known as the creator of the ABC cop procedural “The Rookie” and its spinoff “The Rookie: Feds,” as well as his work as a writer for the crime procedural “Castle.” Like “The Rookie,” the similarly named “Recruit” focuses on a very new member in a prestigious organization: in this case, the CIA.
