Netflix and Peacock are currently streaming Suits, according to The Hollywood Reporter. As per Nielsen’s streaming ratings, the series achieved massive viewership when it debuted on Netflix in June 2023, multiple times breaking and setting the record for the most viewing hours in a single week for a library series. Furthermore, in the Nielsen rankings, it broke the record for the most weeks in a row at the top of the list. Stephen Amell (Arrow, The Flash) is starring in Suits: LA, an NBC spinoff series created by Aaron Korsh (Pearson, The Story of the Royals).
