With fans still hungry for more of the USA Network series, the BBC decided to take a gamble and bring the legal drama back to the airwaves.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, three popular titles from NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution, including Suits, are set to hit screens in the UK. Suits will join the lineup alongside St. Denis Medical and The Best Man: The Final Chapters. Despite already being available to UK Netflix subscribers, the addition of Suits to the BBC lineup is expected to draw a larger audience, with all nine seasons scheduled for broadcast on both TV and iPlayer for the first time. However, BBC is keeping the show's airing schedule under wraps, leaving fans eagerly anticipating its debut.

For Meghan Markle, who portrayed the skilled paralegal Rachel Zane from 2011 until 2017, this presents a golden opportunity to shine beyond the royal family's recent controversies. Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition, expressed enthusiasm for the trio of star-studded series, including Suits, labeling them as a thrilling addition for BBC viewers to savor.
