The iconic TV series Suits, which made its Netflix debut on June 17th, experienced a record-breaking resurgence, captivating millions of fans.
Stars Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, and Gina Torres joyfully reunited at the Golden Globes shortly after the series re-released in June. Originally premiering on USA in 2011, Suits shattered the Nielsen streaming record for acquired programming, amassing an impressive 3.1 billion viewing minutes during the week of June 26th to July 2nd.
On January 7th, the quartet of Patrick, Gabriel, Sarah, and Gina took the stage at the Golden Globes, not as co-stars but as presenters. They announced the winner for Outstanding Drama Series, the HBO hit Succession. While on stage, the stars playfully joked about the drama category coming late in the program, with Gabriel humorously remarking on the anticipation and anxiety of waiting for the category's announcement.
On the red carpet, Patrick and Gabriel, who portrayed Michael Ross and Harvey Specter, respectively, were inevitably asked about the "Meghan Markle effect" on Suits. Patrick, whose character was the love interest of Meghan's Rachel Zane, playfully endorsed the idea of a spin-off, envisioning the on-screen life of the characters in Seattle. When asked about the next iteration of Suits, Gabriel suggested it could explore a completely separate world within the Suits universe, teasing the possibility of appearances in Los Angeles.
As for Meghan Markle's potential involvement in future Suits projects, Patrick Adams and the interviewer engaged in light banter, with Adams playfully alluding to the character of Miss Marco, implying she needed to return to the series. Adams emphasized the character's popularity and teased the idea of Mike and Rachel dealing with matters in Los Angeles. The exchange concluded with a humorous reference to Megan, leaving the interviewer inquisitive about recent events involving her.
Despite Meghan's absence at the mini-reunion on the Golden Globes stage, her non-participation was considered understandable, given the likely heightened security requirements and the fact that she wasn't nominated for an award. Meghan did make an appearance at an industry event in November, expressing surprise at Suits' newfound streaming success and attributing it to the show's binge-watchable nature. While she hasn't announced any new projects, a source at the end of December hinted that new endeavors were in the pipeline, emphasizing that quality, not quantity, is the couple's focus in the entertainment industry.
