Summary
- The title “Suits” has three meanings: the clothing the characters wear, the lawsuits they handle, and the people who work in the business world.
- The women in the show also wear suits, expanding the meaning of the title to include them.
- Reviving the series without the original characters is technically possible, but the chances of that happening are currently very small.
The Suits title has three different meanings, show creator Aaron Korsh reveals. Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams’ USA Network-led legal drama found its second life after arriving on Netflix back in June 2023. Aside from Suits‘ actual narrative, there has been increased interest in some of the show’s behind-the-scenes process, which Korsh has been happy to address.
In light of Suits‘ streaming domination, Korsh hosted a Q&A on Twitter and revealed the three different meanings of the show’s title. Read his full post below:
In Korsh’s tweet, he reveals the three meanings he intended for the Suits‘ title: the suits that the characters wear, the suits that the lawyers deal with, and the actual people who work in their industry.
Breaking Down All Three Meaning Of The Suits’ Title
All three meanings of the Suits‘ title actually make sense. Even the women of Pearson, Hardman wear suits in the show, which means that the title also applies to them. It’s also worth noting that one of the very first mandates that Harvey Specter when he hired Mike Ross was for him to get new suits. Still naive about why his clothes had a bearing on his job, Mike opted for ill-fitting and cheap suits, which Harvey chastised him later, explaining that how they present themselves impacts their clients’ confidence in them.
The second and third meanings are quite straightforward. Suits is a shortened version of lawsuits, which Pearson, Hardman handled all the time. Finally, Suits refer to the actual characters themselves. However, aside from the firm’s lawyers, suits can also be FBI agents, private bankers, and anyone else who tends to wear a full suit on their day-to-day jobs. In its 9-season run, Harvey, Mike, and their cohorts have dealt with all kinds of suits, considering the variety of cases they handled.
Since the title Suits doesn’t refer to a single character from the show, reviving the series without any of the beloved characters from Pearson, Hardman is technically possible. After the show found new life on Netflix, there has been interest in seeing it return for new stories. That being said, Korsh has been blunt about not having any concrete ideas to do a revival, so the chances of the proposed project pushing through are currently very small.
