A new Suits spin-off is reportedly in the works by US broadcaster NBC Universal, following the legal drama's renewed success on Netflix.

The series, which aired for nine seasons from 2011 - 2019, starred Patrick J Adams as an attorney who lands a job at a prestigious New York legal firm despite never attending law school.

It returned to Netflix earlier this summer and has been a huge hit with audiences around the world.

The show also starred Meghan Markle before she left in 2018 ahead of her royal wedding to the UK's Prince Harry.
