DONNA MURPHY STAR TREK RESURGENCE FULL

It’s just one of those things where, in this day and age, you wouldn’t be surprised if somebody called you someday. But I’m not aware of any serious conversations. You know, I’ve mentioned to Aaron that, in this era of reboots and reunions and all this other stuff, I’m expecting a call at some point. TVLINE | As the show is finding new life on Netflix and streaming in general, have there been any talks about getting the gang back together for a revival? Is that something you and Aaron texted about? But if it’s not, I’m sure the viewers who have loved it for eight seasons will be savvy enough to find it, the goodbye season.

I know nothing about the deal, but I kind of assumed at some point it would be there. I kind of assumed that eventually the ninth season would be on Netflix. You might have noticed this, but Peacock tweeted something about this.

Are you at all worried that people who are discovering the show on Netflix aren’t going to get the full story or see the full show? TVLINE | Peacock, not Netflix, carries the ninth and final season. I think it deserves it, but you know, I’m partial. Hopefully, this is a sign of the strength of the show, and it becomes a little perennial. There’s those shows that become re-licensable and rewatchable and are just sort of out there for all time, and some shows sort of fade away. The other thing that has occurred to me is I hope this is somewhat of a sign that Suits might be a perennial. Hopefully, some of those people are younger people. But anecdotally, all I know is when people reach out to me, it seems like it’s a little bit of both. TVLINE | Are you getting the sense that it’s more people rewatching the show, or it’s people discovering the show for the first time? There’s a hat tip that needs to go to Netflix and the power of their platform because it’s finding people. But then it’s also a tribute to the power of Netflix because it’s been on Peacock for a while. So it’s a tribute to the show, creatively. So there’s an additional set of things about the show that reveal themselves watching it again. You discover new things as you’re rewatching it.

And it’s also, I think, a unique enough show that it’s very rewatchable. There’s people who’ve watched it all when it was coming out and find it very comforting to watch again. But there’s also something about the show that is rewatchable. On the one hand, anecdotally, people reach out to me all the time, so I know it still finds new viewers here and there. I think there’s two different things going on, one set of things that has to do with the show itself and another that has to do with the power of a particular platform. TVLINE | Why do you think something that’s been off the air for years and has been streaming on Peacock is suddenly so extra-bingeable? The most quotable part is he finishes a long rant with, “It’s nuts.” I think we’re all having kind of the same reaction, like, “This is amazing.” Since we found out this news, I’ve only exchanged texts with Aaron, and it was something on the order of, “Holy s–t.” Let me look and see if there’s anything particularly quotable.

TVLINE | Have you spoken to Aaron Korsh or any of the cast about it? The first time the weekly Top 10 came out and the first three seasons were in there, I thought, “Well, if everyone just keeps on watching, this is going to go on for a while because they’ll keep on moving through the seasons,” and that’s exactly what’s happening. I, obviously, had a sense when I found out it was coming to Netflix it would probably get another burst of viewing and that kind of thing, but I did not think this would happen. What was your reaction when you found that out? And the news on Thursday was that it amassed 3.1 billion minutes viewed across Netflix and Peacock, marking a Nielsen streaming chart record for an acquired title. TVLINE | Suits has been in the Top 10 shows on Netflix for weeks now.
