The Streaming Success of 'Suits': Insights from America's Most-Watched TV Show

"Suits," the legal drama series that originally aired on USA from 2011 to 2019 and recently arrived on Netflix, has become America's most-watched TV show of the summer. The show has broken several viewing records, accounting for 18 billion minutes of streaming in July alone. Despite being largely out of conversation in recent years, "Suits" has gained popularity due to its straightforward appeal as a breezy corporate fantasy and its availability on Netflix. The show's success highlights the persistent demand for easy, passive procedurals that streaming services have struggled to replicate. Additionally, the nostalgia factor and the presence of Meghan Markle, who starred in the series before becoming a member of the British royal family, have contributed to its renaissance.
