Netflix’s co-CEO Predicts ‘Bunch’ of New Legal Drama Will Arrive in Future Amid Spin-off Reports
Netflix co-CEO Aaron Korsh has predicted that a bunch of new legal drama series will be made in the future. Suits is arguably the first name that comes to mind when one thinks of the legal drama genre. The series debuted in 2011 and ran until 2019, releasing 9 seasons in the process. The show was created by Aaron Korsh and starred Gabriel Macht as accomplished lawyer Harvey Specter and Patrick J. Adams as his protégé, Mike Ross who was a college dropout.
The show was loved by fans all around the world and a spin-off was released in 2019 named, Pearson. However, it was short-lived. Interestingly, nearly four years after the show was concluded, its popularity reached new heights this year after it was released on Netflix. As a result, the makers are looking to make new spin-offs.

Will Suits’ spin-off be released on Netflix?
While the creator of Suits, Aaron Korsh is eager to make a spin-off of Suits, nothing has been confirmed about where it will be released. However, Netflix’s co-CEO is positive that there will be a bunch of new legal drama shows that will be released in the future.
While speaking at the UBS Global Media and Communication Conference, Ted Sarandos cited the example of Sony and how they are making a movie of Cobra Kai as a result of the show’s success on Netflix. He said:
“I would argue next year you’ll probably see a bunch of lawyer shows… Sony is making a movie of Cobra Kai. Why are they doing that? Because Cobra Kai was a monster on Netflix.”
Aaron Korsh had to change words to respect the Royal Family for Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle who played the role of Rachel in Suits married Prince Harry in 2018. However, the makers of the show had to change words out of respect for the Royal Family when the two were still dating. Speaking about the same with The Hollywood Reporter, creator Aaron Korsh, said:
“My wife’s family, when they have a topic to discuss that might be sensitive, they use the word ‘poppyc**k,’, So, in the episode, Mike and Rachel were going to have a thing, and as a nod to my in-laws, we were going to have her say, ‘My family would say poppyc**k.’ And the royal family did not want her saying the word.”
Aaron Korsh further added that the Royal Family did not want people to cut clips of Meghan Markle saying c**k so they had to change it to bullsh*t and he did not like that because he had told his in-laws that their word poppyc**k was going to be on the show.
