‘Suits’ Season 1- 9 to premiere on Netflix US soon; Here’s all you need to know about Meghan Markle’s show

Fans of the TV series Suits, rejoice! The much loved legal drama will be airing all its seasons on Netflix in the United States of America, starting June 2023. Netflix already airs Suits in other regions, including India. Here’s what we know about the Suits licensing for the Netflix US market.

The reason for streaming all seasons of Suits on Netflix US may be the writers’ strike in the US, which has halted the shooting of many new and recurring TV shows, web series and movies.

As a result, Netflix is focussing on acquisitions and licensing. Other platforms are also going easy on licensing. Hence, Suits is being streamed on Netflix as well as its rival Amazon Prime Video in the US, as well as on Peacock Premium.
