Abigail Spencer, known for her role as Dana “Scottie” Scott on the hit series Suits, has nothing but admiration for her former costar Meghan Markle and her contribution to the show’s ongoing success. In an exclusive interview with E! News at Michael Kors’ New York Fashion Week runway show, Spencer shared her thoughts on Markle’s influence and the renewed interest in the beloved legal drama.
“She’s a phenomenon,” Spencer remarked about the Duchess of Sussex, describing her as “the most wonderful” and one of her dearest friends. According to Spencer, Markle’s “loveliness” shines through both on and off-screen, and has undoubtedly played a significant role in attracting viewers to the show.
Despite ending its run four years ago, Suits continues to captivate audiences, particularly with its availability on streaming platforms like Peacock and Netflix. The show’s resurgence in popularity led to a streaming record, with an impressive 57.7 billion minutes of viewing in the last year alone, as reported by Nielsen rankings.
In light of the renewed interest, a spinoff series titled Suits: L.A. is currently in development by the original series’ creator, Aaron Korsh. Set in the same universe as Suits, the new series will follow the story of Ted Black, a former New York Prosecutor who relocates to the West Coast to establish a successful law firm specializing in criminal and entertainment law. Spencer expressed her excitement for the spinoff, jokingly remarking, “So many suits, so little time.”
As Suits: L.A. prepares to make its debut, it’s clear that the legacy of the original series, fueled in part by Markle’s charm and talent, continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
