‘Suits Surpasses All Expectations, Holds Top Spot in Streaming for 12 Weeks’
USA Network’s legal drama ‘Suits’ has exceeded all expectations by consistently holding the top spot in streaming for 12 consecutive weeks, according to recent reports. Even the show’s creator, Aaron Korsh, expressed surprise at its soaring popularity. In a tweet, Korsh admitted underestimating the show’s success and mentioned, I always thought we were underestimated, but it turns out, even I underestimated #Suits. It’s good to be the king.
This milestone achievement for ‘Suits’ means that the show now holds the record for the most overall number one finishes on Nielsen’s streaming chart, surpassing the previous record holder, Netflix’s thriller ‘Ozark.’
Nielsen, a leading global measurement and analytics company, reported that viewers streamed ‘Suits’ for an impressive 2.36 billion minutes during the week of September 4 to September 10, making it the most-streamed program among both Netflix and Peacock users.
In second place on Nielsen’s chart of top streaming viewed programs was ‘Virgin River,’ accumulating 1.92 billion minutes of streaming viewing. ‘One Piece’ followed closely behind with 1.39 billion minutes, with the live-action movie ‘The Little Mermaid’ and ‘S.W.A.T.’ rounding out the top five with 1.37 billion and 1.04 billion minutes, respectively. Other notable shows in the top 10 include ‘Bluey,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ ‘NCIS,’ ‘Cocomelon,’ and ‘The Big Bang Theory.’
However, ‘Virgin River’ and ‘One Piece’ claimed the top spots on Nielsen’s chart for top 10 streaming original programs.
The success of ‘Suits’ in terms of viewing time was previously demonstrated when it broke the record for an acquired series on streaming, garnering 3.14 billion minutes of watch time between June 26 and July 2.
Despite its immense popularity, Aaron Korsh, the creator, dismissed rumors of a ‘Suits’ reboot. He shared this information on his X (formerly Twitter) account in response to fans. Korsh also acknowledged a fan’s view that the nine-season series had wrapped up beautifully, stating that he did not disagree and remarking on his willingness to explore a prequel focused on young Robert Zane, played by Wendell Pierce, fresh out of law school in the early 90s.
In conclusion, ‘Suits’ has defied expectations and held the top spot in streaming for an impressive 12 weeks. With its record-breaking viewing figures, the show has firmly established itself as a streaming powerhouse. Fans of the legal drama eagerly anticipate any future projects from the talented team behind ‘Suits.’
