Suits star reveals the revival pitch that could reopen the case

If you thought we’d seen the last of Suits when USA Network called it a day back in 2019, think again. The legal drama that somehow made lying about having a law degree look almost charming (don’t try it at home) has found a second wind thanks to Netflix and Peacock. Not only did the show clock up an absolutely absurd 57.7 billion streaming minutes in 2023 alone—yes, billion—but it’s apparently inspired some “what if?” daydreaming from the cast, particularly Patrick J. Adams, who played Mike Ross, the world’s least qualified lawyer.

How Suits Refused to Die

Quick recap for anyone just wading in: Suits follows Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who, despite being a college dropout, manages to blag his way into a top Manhattan law firm with help from hotshot Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). The catch? He’s not actually a lawyer. Not legally, anyway. But he’s got a photographic memory and a thing for contract law, which, in TV land at least, is apparently all you need.

The series wrapped up in 2019 after nine seasons, but it barely had time to catch its breath before it landed on streaming. That move paid off—ridiculously so. In 2023, between Netflix and Peacock, people streamed Suits for the equivalent of several human lifetimes. The popularity surge was strong enough that there was a whiff of revival in the air.

Spin-offs and False Starts

As for official add-ons, there’ve already been two attempts—Pearson (which followed Gina Torres' Jessica Pearson into the world of politics), and Suits: LA. Neither stuck around for long. Both spin-offs got the axe after a single season, with Suits: LA officially cancelled in May 2025. So, if you blinked, you probably missed them.

Patrick J. Adams' Revival Pitch

Enter Patrick J. Adams, gently prodding the fanbase’s sense of nostalgia on Instagram. He laid out a detailed pitch for a possible Suits revival—one of those wish lists that’s both tongue-in-cheek and genuinely intriguing. Here’s the gist of what he proposed:

• Mike Ross and Rachel Zane (yes, Meghan Markle, and yes, this bit is probably wishful thinking) taking on a huge class action lawsuit against an AI giant.
• The ghosts of 'years of past indiscretions' at Pearson Hardman coming back to bite everyone, with the threat of old illegal moves being exposed.
• Harvey and Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty) facing the possibility that 'their life could be over before it’s even really begun'.
• Jessica Pearson’s political career potentially getting ‘cut off at the knees.'
• Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) on the brink of losing the law firm he’s poured his entire soul into.
• Mike, wanting to make a difference, brings the old gang back together for ‘one shot at wiping the slate clean’ and actually giving everyone a shot at a future they don’t need to hide from.

Adams even tossed in the promise of classic "skinny tie" jokes, obligatory bike riding montages, and floated the idea of Harvey and Donna navigating parenthood. He didn’t stop there—he wondered out loud about further spin-offs, jumping to other cities with new branches of the firm.

Any Actual Reunion Plans?

If you’re hoping Adams has secret insider info, brace yourself. He later clarified online that he knows "nothing" about any genuine reunion talks. From everything he’s heard, 'the powers that be walked away after Suits: LA.' Apparently, there are no meetings, no negotiations, no grand plans to haul everyone back into the office. Adams did share that he’d love to see the team 'try and do the right thing in a world determined to do all the wrong things,' but as of now, it’s no more than him having a daydream and posting about it. Hardly breaking news, but it does show how much he still cares about these characters.

Not the first time Adams has floated ideas, either—he’s shown up at various celebration panels since the original run wrapped, always dropping little hints about what more could be done. But for now, it’s all talk and no contracts, no matter how many billions of minutes fans keep watching on loop.

Suits is streaming now on Netflix and Peacock.
