By Movieguide® Contributor
The infamous Mike Ross and Donna Paulsen are returning to the SUITS world.
Stars Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty have announced a new SiriusXM rewatch podcast about their hit drama.
Per Deadline, “Adams played Mike Ross, who hustled his way into working at prestigious law firm Pearson Hardman, and Raffterty played Donna Paulsen, the legal secretary and confidante of Gabriel Macht’s Harvey Specter.”
Adams and Rafferty will walk viewers through each episode and unpack special behind-the-scenes moments. Other co-stars will join the podcast from time to time.
The two released a statement, saying, “On the heels of the record-breaking SUITS resurgence, it feels like the perfect time to rewatch the show that changed our lives. We are thrilled to collaborate with the incredible team at SiriusXM and look forward to connecting with our friends from the cast and crew, as well as the SUITS fans who made it all possible.”
Senior Vice President of Podcast Content at SiriusXM, Adam Sachs, who will also be an executive producer of the podcast, said,
“As we continue SiriusXM’s mission to bring listeners closer to the stars they love, we are excited to team up with Patrick and Sarah to launch this new podcast dedicated to diving deep on a TV show with a passionate, record-setting audience,” said Adam Sachs, senior vice president of podcast content. “Through their work on the series, the beloved co-stars have developed an off-camera friendship that we know will be a treat for SUITS fans, new and old. We can’t wait for you to listen.”
The show made its television debut in 2011, but this new podcast comes after SUITS’ popularity exploded on Netflix in 2023.
Movieguide® reported on the record-setting year:
Despite first airing in 2011, Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) and Michael Ross (Patrick J. Adams) topped 2023’s streaming charts as SUITS became the number one TV show streamed with the most minutes watched.
According to Nielsen, “While the writers’ strike had an impact on new content this year, the popularity of SUITS was undeniable, landing in the top spot of Nielsen’s top 10 list for a record 12 straight weeks—longer than Netflix originals OZARK (11 weeks), YOU (8 weeks) and STRANGER THINGS (8 weeks). During its 12-week run at the top, audiences watched more than 36.8 billion minutes of the legal dramedy.”
Overall, SUITS totaled 57.7 billion minutes streamed, which means it finished with more minutes streamed than THE OFFICE did in 2020 (57.13 billion minutes).
