Suits is one of the most popular show on streaming right now, even though it was first released over 10 years ago in 2011. Of course, its resurgence is largely due to its recent addition to streaming powerhouse, Netflix, in June. The legal drama broke a Nielson streaming record for acquired titles with 3.7 billion minutes streamed in a single week, and it continues to reside in Netflix's top 10 list. If you're watching for the first time or rewatching, you'll probably be left wanting more after you finish all nine seasons (only 8 of which are on Netflix but the 9th season is on Peacock).

With the show's major revival, you may be wondering if a reboot or spin-off series is on the table. Unfortunately, no such conversations have taken place. "You know, I've mentioned to Aaron [Korsh, the show's creator] that I keep, in this era of reboots and reunions and all this other stuff, that I'm expecting a call at some point. But I'm not aware of any serious conversations. It's just one of those things where, in this day and age, you wouldn't be surprised if somebody called you someday," Suits'executive producer Gene Klein told TV Line.

It seems fans would welcome a reboot, but it may be complicated to get all of the actors on board, especially Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, for obvious reasons. It was even a bit tricky to keep all of the Suits actors around during the original nine seasons. Fans may be surprised to know that there technically already is one spin-off of the show called Pearson. Pearson follows Jessica Pearson's life after she is disbarred. The series ran for only one season in 2019 and did not receive great ratings, so it was cancelled. Pearson is not currently streaming, but it is available for purchase on Prime Video.

So for now, we'll just have to manage with nine season of Suits and one of Pearson, but there's nothing stopping you from rewatching after you finish both!
