Suits star Patrick J. Adams clarifies the status of the upcoming spinoff, while also addressing his willingness to reprise the role of Mike Ross.
Suits has seen a massive resurgence since being added to Netflix last year. Given its continued popularity, a spinoff show has been announced.
Adams also gave a progress update on the series, which is being developed by Suits creator Aaron Korsh, and clarified how the new series connects to the original.
A spinoff was officially announced in October 2023, following the end of the writers strike. Initial reporting mentioned that the project, hailing from NBCUniversal, was being fast-tracked because of the streaming success of Suits.
It was also noted that the project is not a revival, reboot, or strict continuation in the vein of the short-lived Pearson.
This makes the spinoff comparable to CSI or NCIS. In general terms, this approach allows for some crossover with the original Suits cast while allowing the new show to stand independently.
The spinoff does not currently have a home, though reports indicate that this is true for most NBCUniversal productions.
