Suits continues to shatter streaming records.
The legal drama just broke its own record on the Nielsen weekly streaming chart after garnering 3.7 billion minutes viewed between July 3 and July 9, according to Variety.
The new number marks a 17 percent increase over last week’s record 3.1 billion viewing minutes — which made the series the most watched acquired title in U.S. streaming history. Only streaming originals have done better.
Suits aired on USA Network from June 2011 to September 2019. It began streaming on Netflix and Peacock in June, and has held onto the top spot on the streaming chart for three straight weeks.
