Suits: Where to Watch All The TV Shows & Spinoffs
Fourteen years after Suits first premiered, and following its streaming success on Netflix, a second spinoff is set to introduce a new team of lawyers. Created once again by Suits' original creator and showrunner Aaron Korsh, this series is not the only show set within the Suits universe.
While one show doesn't create a universe, three shows with overlapping characters do create that feel. There have been other successful legal dramas on TV, like Boston Legal and Ally McBeal, not to mention Better Call Saul and the recent hit The Lincoln Lawyer. But those are standalone, making Suits perhaps the most successful pure legal series on television. It’s a significant legacy as the third series in the Suits world begins.
For those wanting to catch up on everything in the Suits universe, here’s a guide on where to watch all the Suits shows and spinoffs, in order of their original air date.
Suits
Part mystery, part corporate law drama, Suits centers on Harvey, a charismatic attorney known for his reputation of never playing fair who takes on Mike, a new associate, despite knowing that Mike never attended law school—he just possesses a photographic memory. If you guessed this involves Harvey and Mike skillfully avoiding detection while excitingly solving cases together, you're spot on. There's also a good dose of romance, a future Duchess, and Gina Torres in a role so iconic she eventually got her own spinoff.
Pearson
This first Suits spinoff follows Jessica Pearson, played by Gina Torres, as she transitions from the corporate sector to the gritty world of Chicago politics, becoming a fixer for the mayor. With occasional appearances from Suits characters, the show is much darker and edgier than Suits. If you appreciated Jessica Pearson in the original series, you'll likely enjoy this deeper dive into her life, both in the current scenario where she's occasionally not in command and her past.
Suits LA
Consider Suits LA a snappier, more stylish cousin, set against the backdrop of Los Angeles with a shift in focus from corporate to entertainment law. This results in many cameos by well-known actors and reimagined characters that capture the spirit of the original show’s archetypes. There's still a main mystery, numerous flashbacks, and characters you may not always warm to, but they remain compelling enough to keep viewers hooked. Additionally, there's a connection to the original Suits, courtesy of Harvey and Ted Black's friendship. Welcome to the evolving Suits universe.
