Despite Suits becoming a streaming phenomenon in 2023, its spin-off has been short-lived. Suits: LA has been canceled before even finishing airing season 1, and now we know some of the reasons why this decision was made at NBC.
"Suits: LA has had a very short run, but it really just has not resonated the way we thought it would," Jeff Bader, NBC’s president of programming strategy, revealed to the media this week (via The Hollywood Reporter), following the announcement of this unexpectedly early cancelation for the show. It's also surprising that the news broke out even before all episodes have aired on TV.
"There can be many, many reasons – people are speculating why it hasn't resonated, but it's just not really showing the potential to grow for us in the future, unfortunately," Bader continued.
"Those are the decisions we have to make. We have to look at the performance of the shows both on linear and on digital. We have to see the ones that look like they have growth potential in the future. So we're looking at how stable they are in their linear performance, how stable they are on digital, which ones are growing, which ones are declining – and we had to make some hard decisions," Bader explained.
