Suits is Heading Back to Broadcast Television This Fall

Suits is headed back to broadcast television, this time via syndication. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the former USA Network series is set to make debut this fall on Fox’s MyNetwork TV programming services. All nine seasons of the hit series will be available via MyNetwork TV.

“It’s become increasingly more difficult, if not impossible, to launch obscure product on broadcast TV,” Frank Cicha, executive vice president of programming for Fox Television stations said. “Suits is arguably the most buzzworthy scripted series of the last half decade, and MyNet looks forward to amplifying its success by introducing it to the broadcast television audience. We’re discussing some fun ways to do just that.”

Suits heading to broadcast syndication comes just over a year after the series hit Netflix in June of last year and reached a whole new audience, bringing in record breaking viewing numbers, making it one of the biggest hits in the streamer’s history. Shortly after, a new Suits series — Suits: L.A. — went into development with NBCUniversal working alongside series creator Aaron Korsh.

What is Suits: L.A. About?

You can read a description of the spinoff series here: “Suits L.A. centers on Ted Black (Stephen Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York, who has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career. Ted is surrounded by a group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives. All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved. Fifteen years ago, Ted joined forces with his old buddy, Stuart Lane (Josh McDermitt), to build an L.A. law firm, Black Lane Law, that specializes in criminal and entertainment law.”
