Netflix knows the business and Netflix shows know the chemistry, and no matter how many times they partner up, we are not going to have enough of them. The American streamer might have an influx of lucrative deals and chartbuster content serving itself. However, none have catered to it like the classics from the bygone era, reports have shown. Its current top-ranking new age series has garnered much traction. But the growing appetite of users for age-old third-party catalog programming has worked wonders for the platform. For instance Suits, courtesy Meghan Markle. 

As reported by Media play news, via PlumResearch, the aging US Tv network legal drama series, Suits has been in high demand from Netflix. Catering to its audience, the giant brought back the Meghan Markle starrer months earlier. And the records since have been quite surprising for all of us. 

The first season of the paralegal series has generated a staggering 6.1 million views with a watch time of 21.4 million hours soon after its relaunch. These records don’t go back to the time it was aired, but come fresh from the month of June 26th to the 2nd of July, 2023. The series has thus been consistently in the top ten most-watched series on Netflix. The top spot, however, belonged to the Henry Cavill-led, The Witcher followed by another legal drama series, The Lincoln Lawyer.

But what are the numbers that Suits has garnered so far?

How well did relaunching Suits by Meghan Markle work for Netflix? 

The success rate has gone out of bounds at this point. The Markle starrer, Suits finished at the number 9 mark with a total time period of 2.9 million hours watched worldwide. PlumResearch also wrote in a statement, “We have repeatedly observed how older titles rule in the weekly rankings.” And Suits especially, is the most eloquent example of this, PlumResearch affirmed. “This classic series not only attracts new viewers but also successfully lures those who want to relive their favorite moments.”

Originally aired from 2011 to 2019, the show’s number even exceeded today’s franchises that the streamer boasts. With its total unique viewership record of 6.1 million, Suits even topped the Netflix original series Black Mirror Season 6 at 5.7 and The Witcher Season 3 which stood at 5.7, yet again.
