If you were missing the legal antics and sharp-witted banter of “Suits,” we’ve got some thrilling news! Thirteen years after the series first graced our screens on USA Network, and nearly a year after its surprise resurgence in popularity, stars Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty are taking their love for the series to a whole new level—this time, they’re swapping courtrooms for microphones.
Adams, who brilliantly portrayed the sharp, quick-thinking Mike Ross, and Rafferty, who brought the beloved character of Donna Paulsen to life, are set to host a brand-new podcast series on SiriusXM. Aptly named “Sidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast,” this dynamic duo will dive back into the series with fresh eyes, breaking down each episode and dishing out exclusive never-heard-before behind-the-scenes stories that only they can tell.
Breaking away from the usual rewatch podcast format, “Sidebar” will have Adams and Rafferty viewing the series for the first time, sharing new insights and anecdotes from their time on set. They’ll be joined by a parade of familiar faces—cast members, crew, friends, and fans—who all contributed to making “Suits” the sensation it was over its nine-season run!
“It feels like the perfect time to rewatch the show that changed our lives,” Adams and Rafferty shared via a press statement. “We are thrilled to collaborate with the incredible team at SiriusXM and look forward to connecting with our friends from the cast and crew, as well as the “Suits” fans who made it all possible.”
The “Sidebar” podcast comes hot on the heels of “Suits” smashing streaming records after its Netflix debut, sparking renewed interest and catapulting the show back into the limelight. This surge in popularity led to the announcement of a new spinoff, “Suits: L.A.”, proving that fans can’t get enough of the legal drama. The upcoming series, starring Stephen Amell, Josh McDermitt, Bryan Greenberg, and Lex Scott Davis, will be penned and executive-produced by the original creator, Aaron Korsh.
With Kimmie Gregory, Cassi Jerkins, and Kristin Shrader leading the production, and executive producers Adams, Rafferty, Adam Sachs, Codi Fischer, and Colin Anderson on board, listeners can anticipate high-quality content and an in-depth exploration of the “Suits” universe, set to debut later this year on all the podcast platforms!
Adam Sachs, SVP of Podcast Content at SiriusXM, expressed his excitement about the project, saying, “As we continue SiriusXM’s mission to bring listeners closer to the stars they love, we are excited to team up with Patrick and Sarah to launch this new podcast dedicated to diving deep on a TV show with a passionate, record-setting audience. Through their work on the series, the beloved co-stars have developed an off-camera friendship that we know will be a treat for “Suits” fans, new and old. We can’t wait for you to listen.”
Premiering later this year, “Sidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast” is gearing up to be a must-listen for fans who cherished the drama, humour, and heart of “Suits.” Mark your calendars and get ready to tune in—this is one podcast you won’t want to miss!
