Suits Season 9 Netflix Release Date Confirmed

After being absent for nearly a year, Netflix has finally confirmed that Season 9 of Suits will be joining the service. Netflix has been one of the streaming homes for Suits Season 9 in the United States since the summer of 2023. Although the series arrived on Netflix US for the first time, it didn’t see the entire collection of the show added. Season 9 has remained unavailable on Netflix, but at the ATX Festival, it was announced that the new season would join Netflix US in July 2024.

A Note for International Viewers

For those living outside the United States, this article might not be relevant to you. This is because Season 9 of Suits has been streaming on Netflix in various international regions for several years.

Netflix’s Journey with Suits Season 9

Initial Arrival

What’s on Netflix was the first to report that Netflix US would be picking up multiple seasons of the hit USA Network show back in May 2023. At the time, it was suggested that all seasons of Suits Season 9 would be headed to the service. However, by June 17th, only Seasons 1 through 8 were added.

Popularity on Netflix US

Since its addition to Netflix US, Suits has consistently ranked in the Netflix TV top 10s. It spent four weeks in the global top 10 charts, and according to the latest Netflix Engagement Report, the show had 1.5 billion viewing hours throughout 2023, equating to 144.10 million views.

Why Wasn’t Season 9 Added Earlier?

Rights Issues

The delay in adding Season 9 to Netflix US primarily comes down to rights issues with an existing deal. Before Netflix started streaming the show, Suits Season 9 was available on Prime Video and Peacock.

Prime Video’s Role

The existing deal prohibiting Season 9 from coming to Netflix was with Prime Video, which was the streaming home for the entire catalog until Netflix picked up Seasons 1-8. Prime Video saw Seasons 1-8 leave the service in July 2023, with only Season 9 remaining. Thus, Netflix couldn’t stream Season 9 while it was still on Prime Video.
