It has been ages since the Duchess of Sussex bid goodbye to her skyrocketing profession as an American actress. Keeping aside all her other works, Meghan Markle garnered tremendous stardom through her USA network TV show, Suits. First aired in 2011, the paralegal show ranked as one of the most-watched legal shows in the history of the network series. A decade after its release, the show is once again climbing the bars of American charts as Netflix gave it a boost, bringing it back for the ravenous audience. 

The American streaming giant added all nine seasons of the legal thriller to its library on the 17th of June 2023. Ever since the Suits licensing for the Netflix US market has been working wonders. From the time of its launch, the popular legal drama has been ranking among the top 10 most-watched shows on Netflix. 

Suits starring Meghan Markle is already a chartbuster in the US market 

A recent study by TVline shows, the first season of the franchise alone has partially amassed a total screen time of 2.3 billion minutes. It has thus outnumbered all the other shows on the Streamer on Nielsen’s list. According to reports, ranking next to Suits, the sci-fi thriller Black Mirror garnered a total of 1.6 billion minutes viewed.

Following it was The Bear, the recently released comic drama which pulled up a total of 853 million minutes across 18 episodes. Other shows and franchises like Manifest, FUBAR, Never Have I Ever, and Catching Killers cracked the total screen time charts for Netflix. 

And Netflix seems to know just the right time to revive its classics.

Why is Suits ranking so much?

The latest search results by Netflix Tudum show Suits season 4 too, is rising as a popular demand amongst the Netflix junkies. Another famous legal show that is doing well for the American streamer is Lincoln Lawyer. In the era of sci-fi thrillers and adventures, it seems like real-life legal dramas are serving as appetizers for the viewers. 

The writers’ strike in the US, put a halt to the shooting of many new and recurring TV shows, web series, and movies. Thus Netflix is focussing on acquisitions and licensing. And the revival of Suits, especially, has been working wonders for the team as they revealed.
