Meghan Markle, wife of Prince Harry, recently shared her astonishment over the resurgence in popularity of the legal drama “Suits” on streaming platforms such as Netflix and Peacock.
She spoke about it when interviewed during her appearance at Variety’s Power of Women event.
The show “Suits,” which features Markle in the role of Rachel Zane, has achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing 45 billion minutes of streaming time.
Her reaction to being told about the popularity of the series was “Isn’t that wild?”
“Suits,” originally airing on the USA Network, has seen a significant upswing in viewership, especially on streaming services. Markle starred in the series for seven seasons during her acting career. Despite being unable to pinpoint the exact reason for this renewed interest, she speculated that the show’s appeal could be attributed to its binge-worthy nature, offering numerous episodes for viewers to immerse themselves in.
Throughout its run, “Suits” was celebrated for its engaging storyline and dynamic cast. Markle fondly recalled her time on the set, highlighting the talent and camaraderie of the cast and crew. Her portrayal of Rachel Zane, a paralegal who later becomes an attorney, was a significant part of the series until she retired from the show in 2018.
The show’s success on streaming platforms is noteworthy, particularly in an era where viewers have a lot of options to choose from. The ability of “Suits” to capture and retain a large audience years after its original air date speaks volumes about its quality and the lasting impact it has had on its viewers.
It also shows that viewers are curious and intrigued about Markle’s life before Prince Harry.
While there are no plans for a revival or reboot of the series, the show’s legacy continues to thrive through its streaming success.
