Meghan Markle has reacted to Suits' streaming resurgence, sharing a possible theory behind the show's recent popularity.
The legal drama recently broke its own streaming record for the third time since being added to Netflix. Despite the series concluding in 2019, fans have continued to stream the courtroom hit – amassing an impressive total of 45 billion minutes watched.
When asked about the show's unexpected resurgence at Variety's Power of Women event yesterday (November 16), Markle shared her excitement. "Isn't that wild?" she said. "It was great to work on, such a great cast and crew. We had a really fun time."
