TORONTO, April 4, 2024 /CNW/ - SiriusXM today announced a new agreement with actors Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty, bringing the duo back together for the launch of a new original podcast dedicated to re-watching and breaking down "Suits," the record-breaking television series on which they co-starred.
Each week, Patrick and Sarah will go deep on an episode of "Suits," sharing exclusive, behind-the-scenes stories about the making of the series. They'll be frequently joined by special guests who played a part, both in-front of and behind the camera, in the series' nine season run, as well as friends and fans of the show.
"Suits" is a captivating legal drama that follows the exploits of a top Manhattan law firm as they navigate the complexities of corporate law while balancing personal and professional challenges. Originally released from 2011-2019, the series found renewed popularity last year after being released on streaming platforms, becoming the most watched title ever acquired by a streaming service, according to Nielsen.
"On the heels of the record breaking 'Suits' resurgence, it feels like the perfect time to rewatch the show that changed our lives," said Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty. "We are thrilled to collaborate with the incredible team at SiriusXM and look forward to connecting with our friends from the cast and crew, as well as the Suits fans who made it all possible."

"As we continue SiriusXM's mission to bring listeners closer to the stars they love, we are excited to team up with Patrick and Sarah to launch this new podcast dedicated to diving deep on a TV show with a passionate, record-setting audience," said Adam Sachs, Senior Vice President of Podcast Content at SiriusXM. "Through their work on the series, the beloved co-stars have developed an off-camera friendship that we know will be a treat for 'Suits' fans, new and old. We can't wait for you to listen."
The show is co-created and co-hosted by Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty. Producers are Kimmie Gregory, Cassi Jerkins and Kristin Shrader. Executive Producers are Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty; as well as Adam Sachs, Codi Fischer and Colin Anderson for SiriusXM.
