Could the original ‘Suits’ get a spin-off movie?

The show's creator didn't shut down the idea of the cast reuniting for a movie.

When it hit Netflix a few years back, many were surprised to discover that Suits had become something of a phenomenon on the streamer. Now, as we prepare for Suits: LA, a spin-off series set in in Los Angeles, creator Aaron Korsh is also making it clear that the original gang could eventually get back together.

“I was very satisfied with the way Suits ended, and at some point we might do a Suits movie and that could be fun,” Korsh said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly for Suits: LA.”It’s more in the hypothetical or theoretical stages, so I wouldn’t have many answers for you [now]. But it’s not an insane notion for us to someday do that.”

The show originally ran for nine seasons on USA, starting in 2011, and starred Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams as two legal minds who work on a variety of cases together. When the show hit Netflix in 2023, though, it dominated the streaming charts for months, and became a much bigger phenomenon that it had ever been while it was airing.

Of course, part of the reason for all that fascination was the presence of Meghan Markle in the show’s earliest seasons. Even so, Suits became such a hit that it helped make Suits: LA a reality.

“I wasn’t able to finish saying what I wanted to say about the Suits universe, so this is meeting a whole new group of characters and exploring their dynamics and their passions and their fears and their hopes and their dreams,” Korsh explained. “It’s fun going back to the beginning of something again.”

Is ‘St. Denis Medical’ coming back for a second season?
The show has been one of the highest rated series on NBC through its first season.

The slate of new network comedies in 2024 was well above average, and St. Denis Medical was one of the best. The hospital-set sitcom is a mockumentary that follows a group of nurses, doctors, and staff who are working in an underfunded hospital in Oregon, and Variety is reporting that it has been renewed for a second season.

Like Abbott Elementary before it, St. Denis Medical is at least partially about good people working inside a broken system. As they treat their patients, they find themselves constantly working against policies that seem designed to make providing great care impossible.

Will ‘Landman’ be back for a second season?
The Paramount hit is facing an uncertain future.

The future of Landman is, somewhat mystifyingly, a little uncertain. The show has yet to be renewed for a second season, which is probably a surprise to anyone who enjoyed the first. The first season definitely doesn't resolve all of the ongoing plot threads of the show, and it was also a massive success for Paramount. Given that context, it seems like an obvious decision for Paramount to renew the show, but they haven't done so yet.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, star Billy Bob Thornton shared what he knew about the potential for a second season. “I understand that if we're going to do that, Season 2, that it's going to be sometime around February, March, somewhere in there. I mean, we'll see. It just depends on how the chips may fall. You never know in this business," he said.

Thanks to a stacked cast, an incredible theme song, and some of the best writing in the history of television, Succession has already cemented its legacy as one of the best shows in HBO history. Now, Variety is reporting that Jesse Armstrong, the show's creator, is teaming up with HBO again for a film focused on financial crisis.

According to the reporting, the film focuses on four friends who convene during a "dramatic international financial crisis." Armstrong is teaming up with Succession executive producer Frank Rich for the project, and HBO is taking it on because both are under contract with the company.
