Even though they’re passing on their legal pads to a new group of eager lawyers,SuitsstarsPatrick J. AdamsandDulé Hillsaid they’d be down to return to the dog-eat-dog world of Pearson Hardman in a movie off-shoot. In fact, those in attendance at ATX’sSuitsretrospective learned that, according to Adams, the idea is already being kicked around by the universe’s creator,Aaron Korsh. When asked by a fan if there were any chances of the USA Network giving suits a similar feature-length makeover as the network has done with other shows in the past, Adams said, “It’s definitely something [Korsh] is interested in doing, trying to get the band back together. It’s gonna depend on a million things if that can happen, but it is possible.”
Joining Adams in his enthusiasm for a film spin-off, Dulé said that he would happily sign his name to the call sheet for such a project, adding “I say as a fan of USA shows becoming films, I would definitely like to be doing another one.” A promising vote of confidence for how the network may handle the next chapter inSuits, Dulé’s comment directly reflects his own experience of working with USA on a feature-length follow-up to his seriesPsych. While other members of the original series, includingSarah Rafferty,Amanda Schull, andAbigail Spencerwere in attendance at the event, they didn’t directly throw their hats into the ring on whether aSuitsmovie would be something in their future.
This year will mark the fifth anniversary ofSuitsgoing black following the final episode of its ninth season and audiences are still thirsty for more. The hype came to an all-time high last summer when the show dropped its first eight seasons on Netflix, quicklynot only landing itself on the streamer’s Top 10but also enjoying a lengthy stay on top of Nielsen’s streaming charts. We can expect to see those viewership numbers catapult even higher this summer as it was recently announced thatthe ninth and final season will finally be available on the streamer beginning on July 1.

Even though rumblings of aSuitsspin-off movie have started, audiences are still a long way off from seeing such a story grace their screens. But that doesn’t mean that reruns are the only way to get yourSuitsfix.
