BBC acquires all of Suits to air on iPlayer and TV
Fans have a big rewatch on their hands.
It's a good day for fans of legal dramas, especially since the BBC has acquired all nine seasons of hit series Suits!
As many fans will know, and have likely still not come to terms with, Suits' final season aired in 2019, and starred a string of well-known faces including Patrick J Adams, Gabriel Macht, Meghan Markle, Rick Hoffman, Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres.
While there have been reports of a spin-off series in the Suits universe, fans can treat themselves to a major rewatch of the main show in the meantime.
Set in a New York City law firm, Suits follows Mike Ross (Patrick J Adams), who uses his photographic memory to talk his way into a job as an associate working for the successful Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), despite never having attended law school.
A TV duo that'll go down in history, the pair win lawsuits and close cases, all while hiding Mike's secret.

The original series came to an end in 2019, starring Katherine Heigl, alongside Amanda Schull, Macht and Hoffman - with Patrick J Adams, Gina Torres and Meghan Markle exiting in season 7.
As for whether fans will get another spin on the iconic series, Deadline reported that the original show's creator Aaron Korsh is developing a new series, which will operate in a similar vein to spin-off shows like CSI and NCIS.
However, Korsh previously addressed these rumours back in August 2023, and said there was "no Suits reboot or anything in the works", noting that the SAG-AFTRA strike would have to come to an end, along with a network wanting to take on the series.
