Congratulations: You've officially forced a Suits revival to exist

Congratulations, streaming obsessives: Your long con to get NBC to not just bring back well-liked USA legal drama Suits, but to get it on its actual flagship network, has come to genuine fruition. And all it took was spending something like 5,000 years of human attention a week, for the span of months, to make it happen.This is per Deadline, which reports that the network has officially extended a series order to Suits L.A., created by original series creator Aaron Korsh, who went from "Look, I don't have any other Suits ideas to make right now" to "Well, uh, let's see what I can do" pretty quickly once the show's Netflix numbers started getting really stupid. The series, which won't focus on any of the characters from the original series, will star Arrow's Stephen Amell, back on network TV after spending the last three years starring on wrestling drama Heels on Starz.Now… do we, personally, suspect that this show will drift, not to the stratosphere, but in the direction of Korsh's actual last Suits spin-off, the Gina Torres-starring Pearson, which lasted for exactly one season on USA? That "everybody is watching Suits" was a phenomenon of the show's blend of comedy, drama, stakes, slow-burn romance, and sexy people in, well, suits, fitting the streaming model perfectly, and that a new show, with new characters, will be a less accurate fit for network TV? Who can say? You could go bankrupt betting against Suits, and we're not interested in losing our (suit) shirts.In other NBC news not directly connected to the most unlikely streaming story of 2023: NBC also announced a series order for Grosse Pointe Garden Society,  created by Good Girls' Jenna Bans and Bill Krebs. The series stars Melissa Fumero, AnnaSophia Robb, Ben Rappaport, and Aja Naomi King as a quartet of garden society members whose lives become intertwined with "mischief and murder."NBC released first-look photos at both shows today.Melissa Fumero and Aja Naomi King in Grosse Pointed Garden Society.
