The buzz around Suits LA, the new spinoff of the iconic legal drama Suits, is reaching a fever pitch as its premiere approaches. But if viewers are expecting to binge-watch it on Netflix, they might want to rethink their plans.
Here’s the lowdown on whether Suits LA will be hitting Netflix anytime soon.
Could Suits LA come out on Netflix as well?
For those wondering if Suits LA will be on Netflix, the answer is no—at least not in the near future.
Suits LA is a product of NBC, which falls under the NBCUniversal umbrella. This means the show is tightly linked to NBCUniversal’s own streaming service, Peacock, rather than being available on Netflix.
The original series’ success on streaming platforms played a huge role in greenlighting Suits LA. The spinoff introduces a brand-new cast, including Stephen Amell and Josh McDermitt, and shifts the setting to a high-powered Los Angeles law firm.
Why NBC will not license Suits LA to stream on Netflix
The original Suits became a streaming phenomenon when it landed on Netflix in 2023. Naturally, fans appear to have assumed its spinoff would follow the same path. However, NBCUniversal has other plans. With Peacock still growing its subscriber base, the company is using Suits LA as a flagship show to draw in viewers.
All in all, NBCUniversal’s decision to keep Suits LA exclusive to Peacock seems like a calculated move. By holding onto the streaming rights, they seem to be betting on the show’s popularity to drive subscriptions to their platform. So, to watch Suits LA, viewers will need a Peacock subscription (via Dexerto).
Suits LA will air on NBC at 9 p.m. ET/PT every Sunday, starting February 23, 2025. While there’s a slim chance it could eventually make its way to Netflix, viewers are advised not to hold their breath as it could take months, if not years, for that to happen.
