14 Shows Guaranteed to Fill the ‘Suits’-Sized Hole in Your Heart
And where to watch 'em!

It’s official, Suits fans, we won. Not only did we get 9 whole seasons of a charming, drama-filled legal drama, now thanks to Suits LA, we get another spinoff too. The only downside is that, as a network drama, new episodes of Suits LA will be released the old fashioned way—week to week—so you’re going to need a few shows like Suits to watch as you wait between episodes.
Obviously, you can always stream Suits again if you need a little fast talking, lawyer fix, but there are other options out there. Shows like The Good Wife, which will introduce you to a whole new firm and whole new legal loopholes, or White Collar, which similarly toys the line between legal and, well.. not. Bottom line: If you’re a Suits fan looking to diversify your television watchlists, I promise these 14 shows are for you.
Suits LA
Ok, I know I said that you have to wait between episodes, but season 1 will be over before you know it, meaning you'll have 10 brand new Suits LA episodes to marathon to your heart's content. Just be warned: the show isn't so much a revival as an expanding of the universe. The downside: No Mike Ross (yet!). The upside: Tons of new lawyers and legal challenges to explore!
Pearson
Believe it or not, the show actually had a spin-off series that followed Jessica Pearson as she worked in Chicago politics. In fact, if you head back to season 7, episode 16 of Suits, you'll actually see the backdoor pilot that inspired the show. Sadly, it got canceled after just one season. But any excuse to see Jessica Pearson on our screens works with us.
The Good Wife
If you loved Suits for the legal intrigue and the salacious interpersonal (and sometimes inappropriate) workplace relationships, then you should definitely have The Good Wife on your list. The show is about a woman who, upon discovering that her state’s attorney husband cheated on her (and broke the law while doing so), goes back to work as a lawyer, despite having not practiced for decades. The set up sounds more melodramatic than Suits, but trust me, it’s got the same sexy will-they-won’t-they work couple subplot, firm mergers and splits, and courtroom shenanigans you know and love.
All Rise
One role in the legal apparatus that isn’t explored much in Suits is the judiciary. All Rise fills that gap while still providing all the workplace drama you could want. The show stars Simone Missick as Lola Carmichael, a new judge in Los Angeles, who is determined to make the courtroom her own. The show only lasted three seasons, but I promise if you like lawyer shows, you won’t stop until you’ve watched every episode. Twice.
High Potential
Part of what made Suits work was that it was the story of an underdog, Mike Ross, who wasn’t able to fulfill his dream of being a lawyer because of his circumstances. High Potential has a similar story. Morgan is a single mother of three who works odd jobs because her high intellect keeps her from being able to quiet her mind long enough to actually focus on a regular 9-to-5. That is, until she accidentally books a gig as a consultant for the local homicide department. This show is perfect if you’re looking for the goofy, slightly off beat humor of Suits and a family-friendly show.
The Lincoln Lawyer
What's the best thing to watch after finishing up a great law show? Well, how about another show about a lawyer? This time it's Mickey Haller who has everyone wondering if the returning defender has what it takes after taking on some of the biggest cases in LA. With some new enemies out to get him and his past constantly creeping up, will he prove his client's innocence?
White Collar
True Suits fans remember the peak of USA Network's TV picks. Not only was Suits a must-watch, but White Collar was also up there as a weekly favorite and yes, it even has some of the same vibes. White Collar follows a former con man who gets the chance to get out of prison by helping the FBI catch other con men. So basically, it's like season 6 of Suits just like all the time.
Lucifer
Yes, it's a show about the devil. But he's solving some major cases thanks to his special ability to figure out everyone's desire. It's just as witty as Suits and yes, he's even rocking some major ensembles that even Harvey would want in his closet. Oh, and there are some very familiar faces that you'll be excited to see!
Younger
Another character who lies to get their dream job? Well, it's not exactly the same as Liza only lies about her age. But hey, that's some high stakes in the publishing industry.
Mad Men
We're heading back to the 1960s to see a different kind of side to NYC as advertisers took over. While we can't say Don Draper is exactly like Harvey or Mike, you can definitely see bits of other characters in this series as they try to make a name for themselves in this big world that also involves some name changes to their office.
Better Call Saul
Surprisingly, there are a lot of lawyers who seem to be hiding something and one of them just happens to be Saul Goodman, the lawyer from Breaking Bad. Fans got to see his story unfold in this Emmy-winning series, but just like the women in Suits, it's Rhea Seehorn's performance as Kim Wexler that you'll be obsessed with at the end.
9-1-1: Lone Star
Yes, the one and only Gina Torres stars in this drama series that follows the lives of some of the members of different emergency services in Austin, Texas. Not only that, but D.B. Woodside is also joining in on the fun as her love interest. So if you're missing their chemistry, definitely tune in!
Psych
Before he was on Suits, Dulé Hill starred in another USA Network series, Psych, and yeah, it's just as good. With a recent movie revival and more seemingly on the way, there's no better time to dive into this series and all it has to offer.
Grey's Anatomy
Katherine Heigl won a freaking Emmy Award for her portrayal of Izzie Stevens on Grey's Anatomy before she switched her scrubs for some high heels. And with more people discovering her performance on Suits, it only feels right to go back to the beginning of her career where she became a huge hit.
