Netflix can turn even old series into a mega-success. We saw that last year with Suits. Now a new series from the series universe is looking increasingly likely.
Presumably no one expected to hear another sign of life from Suits. From 2011 to 2019, the lawyer series starring Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams ran on the USA Network. A success, no question. But not a success that necessarily needed a sequel.
After nine seasons, the Suits chapter seemed to be closed for good. But then Netflix added the entire series to its program in the USA last year and caused an incredible surge in popularity. Although Suits had already been over for four years at that point, the series suddenly conquered the streaming charts.

As Comic Book notes, there are some parallels in the character description to another well-known Suits character: Rachel Elizabeth Zane. She was played by Meghan Markle. However, Markle left the series after seven seasons. The reason for this was her relationship with Prince Harry. Her character was not recast
