“I always thought we were underestimated, but it turns out, even I underestimated #Suits,” Korsh tweeted on Saturday after Deadline reported that Suits had topped Nielsen’s chart of the top 10 streaming programs for a 12th week. “It’s good to be the king.”
Suits’ 12-week run atop Nielsen’s streaming Top 10 means that the show now has the most overall No. 1 finishes on the chart, surpassing the Netflix thriller Ozark, the previous record holder.
Between Netflix and Peacock users, viewers streamed Suits for 2.36 billion minutes for the week of September 4 to September 10, the most recent week for which Nielsen has released streaming figures.

In August, Korsh told followers on X (formerly Twitter) that there wasn’t a Suits reboot in the works, even with the show’s streaming success. He also “[didn’t] really disagree” with one fan’s assessment that the nine-season series “wrapped up everything beautifully” and that “very few reboots ever really work.”
Korsh did admit, however, that he “would still do” a “prequel explore young Robert Zane [Wendell Pierce’s Suits character], fresh out of law school in the early ‘90s.”
