Last season, the ratings for the Suits TV show dropped quite a bit. Will they continue to fall so that the series is in danger of being cancelled, or is it essentially guaranteed to be renewed for a fifth season (so there will be enough episodes for syndication)? Stay tuned.
Suits revolves around the exploits of superstar attorney Harvey Spector (Gabriel Macht) and his associate and protegé Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams). The show’s cast also includes Rick Hoffman, Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty, and Meghan Markle.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
8/11 update: USA has renewed Suits for a fifth season for Summer 2015.
Final season averages: 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.26 million total viewers.

Reference point: Season three of Suits averaged a 0.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.73 million total viewers.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Suits TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
I really like the series. Would want it to be renewed beyond the Summer of 2016. With the demise of some other USA series that I liked, this one, Graceland and Royal Pains are ones that I watch each week…..
The show should continue. There are still a lot of plot lines that can be developed.
All the bickering and disfunctionality. I could have just stayed at work longer. I used to like the show, but this season turned me off.
It used to be us versus them, but now it’s everyone versus everyone.
The shows I did watch were a struggle.
Suits is waaaay off the path. They have made almost all the characters people we can no longer have respect for. This focus on Mike “secret” has made the show MUCH less enjoyable. Internal warfare may be drama but it is not uplifting nor likable in any way. Return us to the law firm that represents others and helps to improve lives rather than a firm that continually lies. Sheesh. Give it a break and let us rediscover why we originally like the show.
Everyone I know loves suits . It’s great entertainment, with a little bit of humor, drama, mystery & style. Keep it on tv. There is a faithful audience .
I love suits so much… one of my best series for sure.
Breaking bed, prison break, suits, il commissario montalbano, il tenente colombo, shameless, last cop.

Suits should stay and return for season 6!!!!!!
I watched the entire 5 seasons over the 3-day holiday weekend for the first time. Really enjoyed it. Character and actor very appropriate match, ie Litt – strange fella with a real need for meds. But I love his facial expressions. The storyline in season 5 was not great, but held your interest, as you might have thought it was going to be final season. Unfortunately it just opened another can of worms. If it is ending, what a tacky way to drop your loyal audience. I hope the writers create a closing story to each character, good or bad.… Read more »
i can’t wait for the season finale to see if mike gets out of his mess. Suits has always been a favorite of mine it’s never dull. I really hope it doesn’t get cancelled
Use to love the show. Apparently the writers vocabulary is limited to cuss words. Done with it!
This show is headed for the scrap heap. They have made Lewis so unlikeable there is almost no reason to continue with him as a character. They have turned the whole law firm into a dysfunctional mess that would have a tough time surviving in life. They have made INTERNAL conflict the focus and we end up liking no one. Donna is wasted as Lewis’ assistant. Harvey has become such an emotional wreck that he can’t really do good work for his clients. Mike’s “Secret” is so pervasive that we can’t like or respect him and they REALLY need to… Read more »
great show great acting good story lines.
Hate this show now. Situations for most part are unrealistic. The Donna character is unbelievable. Litt is a whining, weak and thus unattractive character. They’re both ruining what has otherwise been a fun show to watch. Both these characters need to be killed off. Louis most of all. Didn’t he have a heart attack? Just have it stop permanently. As for Donna, just let her leave already – it’s not even interesting drama between her and Harvey. Deleting from DVR.
Suits is a great show I think that the ratings would be more consistent if the timing of the show was.
ie: why do they show six episodes and then have a break of 5-6 months and then restart for another six or so. I think ppl sometimes lose it. A regular schedule would be better. I love it though and look for it when it’s gone, but should it be an effort?
