Meghan Markle’s Theory On Why Suits Is Resurging In Popularity

When thinking about her TV show, “Suits,” Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex noted that not every series has the power to entice audiences. “It’s hard to find a show you can binge-watch that many episodes of these days, so that could have something to do with it,” she explained at Variety’s Power of Women event. “But good shows are everlasting.”

In addition, “Suits” may benefit from a combination of first-time viewers as well as people who are rewatching it. This nostalgia isn’t just limited to audiences, either. In September 2023, “Suits” star Patrick J. Adams reminisced about his time on the series by posting behind-the-scenes pictures of Meghan on Instagram from the show’s production days. Adams has also had fans approach him and mention the show’s binge-watchable quality. Speaking to Esquire, the actor characterized “Suits” as “the show I just want to watch because I love these people, and they make me feel good.” This positive tone in “Suits” was intentional, as the show was part of a programming category that the USA Network termed “blue skies.” 

Fans are also drawn to watch multiple episodes due to its dramatic premise, since the plot is built around the fact that Adams’ character Mike is only posing as an attorney. Over the course of the series, there’s a continual danger that his duplicity could be exposed. However, Adams has observed that while “Suits” had occasional sad/difficult moments for characters, the show primarily maintained its upbeat feel.
