It\u2019s absolutely wild that the biggest hit show of the year was a cable show which ended four years ago. Suits<\/em> was popular in its day, and it ran for eight years, between 2011 through 2019. Suits<\/em> arrived on Peacock and Netflix this year and it became the most-watched, most-streamed show over the summer, appearing at Nielsen\u2019s Streaming #1 for twelve weeks. People have watched 45 billion minutes of Suits<\/em> this year, and even now, Suits<\/em> is at #2 on the streaming viewership, just behind The Fall of the House of Usher<\/em>. I don\u2019t think people understand how rare this phenomenon really is – this isn\u2019t Friends<\/em>, which was a huge, hit show in real time and then became a hit show years later on streaming. While Suits<\/em> had a good audience in its day, it was nothing like this. Well, the ATX TV Festival is preparing their 2024 lineup, and they\u2019re going to reunite the cast of Suits.<\/p>\n The ATX TV Festival is beginning to roll out its programming for Season 13. The event, taking place May 30-June 2 in Austin, Texas, will include both \u201cSuits\u201d and \u201cHalt and Catch Fire\u201d reunions.<\/p>\n The creatives and cast of \u201cSuits\u201d will get back together, marking five years since the series finale. The legal drama has had a resurgence in popularity over the summer after it became available on Netflix and Peacock, spending 12 consecutive weeks at the top of the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 chart and has crossed 45 billion minutes viewed.<\/p>\n Creator Aaron Korsh and cast members Patrick J. Adams, Sarah Rafferty and Dul\u00e9 Hill are confirmed, with more to be announced soon. The USA series also starred Gabriel Macht, Abigail Spencer, Rick Hoffman and Meghan Markle \u2014 the latter whom commented on the show\u2019s \u201cwild\u201d recent popularity when speaking to Variety at our Power of Women event on Thursday. \u201cIt was great to work on, such a great cast and crew. We had a really fun time. I was on it for seven seasons, so quite a bit,\u201d she said. \u201cBut it\u2019s hard to find a show you can binge-watch that many episodes of these days, so that could have something to do with it. But good shows are everlasting.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From Variety]<\/p>\n There\u2019s been a lot of seething and Britsplaining about the Suits streaming phenomenon, but it\u2019s perfectly clear that the Duchess of Sussex is a HUGE part of the resurgence in interest. While I think it\u2019s bigger than Meghan, she\u2019s a major factor and it would so, so cool if she came to this reunion. Fingers crossed! If Patrick Adams is going, I could see Meghan being talked into it. They\u2019re buds.<\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Avalon Red, Suits\/NBC.<\/small><\/p>\n\n
