What’s This TV Show About?
A USA Network legal drama, Suits centers on ace attorney, Harvey Spector (Gabriel Macht) and his college dropout protegé Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams). The cast also includes Rick Hoffman, Sarah Rafferty, and Meghan Markle. Dulé Hill joins in season seven as Harvey’s old friend, Alex Williams, a senior partner at the rival law firm of Bratton Gould. This year, Harvey will step up to fill the void left by Jessica’s (Gina Torres) departure, while Mike is balancing pro bono work with corporate cases.
Season Seven Ratings
The seventh season of Suits averaged a 0.34 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.30 million viewers. Compared to season six, that’s down by 20% and down by 19%, respectively. Check out how Suits stacks up against other USA Network TV shows.
On January 30, 2018, Suits was renewed for an eighth season which debuts July 18, 2018. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Although Suits has been a big hit for USA, the show’s growing a little long in the tooth. In addition, Universal Cable Productions is developing a spin-off with Gina Torres in the lead. Is this the beginning of the end for the legal drama, or will USA order season eight? The ratings are down again this year but it’s still one of USA’s highest-rated original scripted series. Unless the costs are an issue, I suspect Suits will return for another season. I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and will update this page as needed.

I stopped watching Suits in season 6 when they starting using God’s name in vain in every other sentence. I can handle a lot of swear words but NOT God’s name in vain.
really liking this season of Suits so far. 6 episodes in and the show feels revitalized. Gone are the soap opera romances and the dialog is sharp, characters actually growing and rounding out in surprising ways. THIS is the show it used to be and always remained in my heart throughout the mid life crisis of season 4 thru 6. That magic I felt from the first season is in full swing again now and while the other seasons were exciting….they weren’t sustaining. Like a cheap one night stand each episode from that period was exciting for one week, but… Read more »
I think we should have programmers from each age group. Evereything is focused on the young people and their game shows, reality, and sensless sitcoms. Adults over fifty watch more tv and have brains to think with. We like dramas, mystery anything good to keep our minds sharp and alert.
