Suits Revival Series
With as big as Suits has been over the summer, and as hyper-focused as Hollywood as been on reboots in recent years, it wouldn’t be very surprising to hear of a potential Suits reboot or revival. Unfortunately for those hoping to see more Suits in the future, there’s nothing in the works. At least, not yet.
“Let me say right off that there is no Suits reboot or anything in the works,” series creator Aaron Korsh said on social media during a recent Q&A. “{The Writers’ Guild of America] strike would have to end, some network or streamer would have to reach out and then we could have to collectively want to. Which is no small thing…”
Series executive producer Gene Klein spoke to about the surprising Suits success, and he admitted that he’s expecting to be contacted about a reboot at some point, though he’s not sure if anything will actually come out of that.
“I’ve mentioned to Aaron that — in this era of reboots and reunions and all that other stuff — that I’m expecting a call at some point,” Klein explained. “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. But so far, nothing that I’m aware of.”
