USA Network has renewed “Suits” for a fifth season. It will consist of 16 new episodes presumably airing next summer.
The popular legal drama is a Top 10 summer scripted series with the advertiser-coveted Adults 18-49 demographic (1.6 million), the network’s key demo of Adults 25-54 (1.7 million), and total viewers with an average of nearly 4 million viewers.
“‘Suits’ continues to fire on all cylinders, delivering provocative storytelling and complex characters that viewers can’t get enough of,” said USA Network president, Chris McCumber, in a statement. “With some of the best writing on television, and a brilliant ensemble cast, we anticipate a spectacular fifth season for a series that has become a marquee property for USA.”
