Could the original ‘Suits’ get a spin-off movie?

The show's creator didn't shut down the idea of the cast reuniting for a movie.

When it hit Netflix a few years back, many were surprised to discover that Suits had become something of a phenomenon on the streamer. Now, as we prepare for Suits: LA, a spin-off series set in in Los Angeles, creator Aaron Korsh is also making it clear that the original gang could eventually get back together.

“I was very satisfied with the way Suits ended, and at some point we might do a Suits movie and that could be fun,” Korsh said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly for Suits: LA.”It’s more in the hypothetical or theoretical stages, so I wouldn’t have many answers for you [now]. But it’s not an insane notion for us to someday do that.”

The show originally ran for nine seasons on USA, starting in 2011, and starred Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams as two legal minds who work on a variety of cases together. When the show hit Netflix in 2023, though, it dominated the streaming charts for months, and became a much bigger phenomenon that it had ever been while it was airing.

Of course, part of the reason for all that fascination was the presence of Meghan Markle in the show’s earliest seasons. Even so, Suits became such a hit that it helped make Suits: LA a reality.

“I wasn’t able to finish saying what I wanted to say about the Suits universe, so this is meeting a whole new group of characters and exploring their dynamics and their passions and their fears and their hopes and their dreams,” Korsh explained. “It’s fun going back to the beginning of something again.”

Saturday Night Live is now in its 50th year, and the show is commemorating the occasion in a wide variety of ways. One form of commemoration has come from New York Magazine, which published a series of conversations with many current and former members of the show. It was in that roundtable that former cast member Pete Davidson mentioned how much he got paid while he was on the show.

Davidson brought the topic up after he was asked what he did with his first paycheck. “Do you guys know what they pay us?” he said. “It’s like three grand an episode. I think I got dinner.”

The mid-2000s was a golden age for sitcoms, especially on NBC. Recent reporting from Variety suggests that one of those shows is making a return. Bill Lawrence, who created Scrubs, is currently working on a reboot of the series. Lawrence went on to co-create series like Ted Lasso and Shrinking, and now, he's back at ABC working on a reboot.

The show originally aired on NBC before moving over to ABC for its final seasons. Lawrence is under an overall deal at Warner Bros. TV, but the company carved out space for him to work on the reboot. He would not serve as the showrunner if the show proceeded to a series, and no other deals or cast members are currently in place.

“We appreciate that such a high-profile series will draw a lot of rumor and speculation. As we make our way through pre-production, we will only confirm details as we finalize deals," HBO said in response to Variety's reporting.
