Netflix Already Has The Perfect TV Show To Watch While Waiting For Suits Season 9 To Finally Arrive

Netflix has confirmed that Suits season 9 is finally coming to the streaming service, and there’s another fantastic legal drama show to watch while waiting for its arrival. While the series originally premiered in 2011 and ran all nine seasons on USA Network before ending in 2019, Suits saw a massive resurgence in popularity upon becoming available for streaming on Netflix in the summer of 2023. The legal drama’s popularity recently led to a Los Angeles-set Suits spinoff series being ordered and talks of a reunion movie with the original cast, with this excitement being guaranteed to escalate further when the ninth and final season hits Netflix.

The recent phenomenon of Suits’ popularity was largely based on seasons 1 through 8 landing on Netflix, and now subscribers will finally have the opportunity to binge the last season. It’s now been confirmed that Suits season 9 will begin streaming on Netflix starting July 1, 2024, over a year after the first eight seasons became available. With only a few weeks remaining until Suits season 9 arrives, it’s the perfect time to bring more attention to a newer Netflix original legal show, which is currently in production for its third season.

Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer Show Is Another Great Legal Drama Like Suits

The Lincoln Lawyer is perfect to watch while waiting for Suits season 9 on Netflix

Netflix’s hit drama The Lincoln Lawyer is the perfect lawyer-based series to watch while waiting for Suits season 9’s debut on the streamer. Based on Michael Connelly’s book series, The Lincoln Lawyer follows LA-based defense attorney Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) as he takes on high-profile cases around the city, with the lawyer obtaining a unique reputation for working out of the back of his Lincoln car. The show has proven to be quite popular on Netflix during its first two seasons, so there’s plenty of anticipation ahead of The Lincoln Lawyer season 3’s release.

For those who have already seen all nine seasons of Suits or need another legal show to pass the time before watching season 9, Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer offers many of the same entertaining and dramatic series qualities. From the exciting legal elements to the office drama and interpersonal and familial relationships of those in LA’s legal community or Mickey’s team, fans of Suits will find plenty to enjoy in The Lincoln Lawyer. While the two series may differ in tone and set-up for their legal dramas, Suits and The Lincoln Lawyer are great complementary viewings.
