The American legal drama ‘Suits: The Key to Success’ is experiencing a historic moment. Since the series arrived on Netflix at the beginning of summer, it has broken all records and expectations.
A few weeks ago, creator Aaron Korsh denied that any project related to the series was being produced. Now, Deadline He denies it and confirms that a new series in the ‘Suits’ universe is in the works.
It is not a revival or reboot as we are used to lately. Not a spin-off either. In this case, NBCUniversal is in the negotiation phase with Korsh about a new fiction linked to the original but not directly related. It would be something similar to what happens with other franchises like ‘CSI’ and ‘NCIS’, where the name is kept but there are new characters and locations. Sources talk about the city of Los Angeles as a possible setting in which the new series would develop, while ‘Suits’ takes place in New York.
Although they still have to reach an agreement between the production company and the creator, if everything goes well, the project would be positioned as one of NBCUniversal’s priorities. According to the same source, it is not ruled out that it will be signed for several seasons from the beginning. . All this a few months ago was a true utopia, but by becoming a phenomenon on Netflix the situation has changed.
The failed spin-off
It is not the first time that the production company wants to exploit the success of ‘Suits’ by creating a new series. He already tried it in the summer of 2019 with the premiere of the spin-off ‘Pearson’ that followed the character of Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) in Chicago. It released a total of ten episodes while the ninth and final season of the original series was still airing.
The fiction failed to attract the expected audience, barely reaching half the audience of its predecessor, and ended up being canceled after its first season. Will the new project suffer the same fate?
