'Suits' continues on with Season 6, return date may be mid-June
The fifth season of "Suits" is almost coming to an end. Only six episodes left before it moves on to another season and this is something that the fans are certain of. The sixth installment of the American legal drama television series created and written by Aaron Korsh has already taken a spot in USA Network.
According to Deadline, "Suits" will consist of 16 episodes in Season 6. It was revealed after its fifth season premiere garnered 3.4 million viewers and 1.3 adults 18-49 in Live+3. The results proved the show's large fan base as well as its great performance in terms of its ratings and storyline that invites viewers to keep coming back for more. And even though it had a slight decrease from the Season 4 opener, from 2.50 million to 2.13 million, the show remained at its spot as USA's top drama.
TVLine revealed that this was the show's earliest renewal ever. In fact, they were just one episode into the fifth season. Apparently, they beat their previous record which was the legal drama's Season 2 order that was announced seven weeks into its first season.
