Patrick J. Adams Talks ‘Suits’ 2023 Comeback and Rewatch Podcast ‘Sidebar’
By M Muzamil Shami
Patrick J. Adams reflects on the unexpected revival of Suits and the journey of his rewatch podcast Sidebar alongside Sarah Rafferty.
Adams admitted he thought Suits “was done” until its 2023 resurgence took the audience by surprise.
During an appearance on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s on Me podcast on Tuesday, November 26, the 43-year-old actor shared insights about revisiting the show and creating Sidebar.
“I don’t know that I was [proud] before,” Adams confessed. “Through the podcast, we’re embracing the pride, gratitude, and joy for what we achieved. ‘Look at what we did. This is really good.’”
The Plan B star, who played lawyer Mike Ross in the hit legal drama from 2011 to 2018, revealed he initially struggled to rewatch the series but grew inspired after witnessing its growing popularity.
“I used to get too in my head,” Adams shared. “But the recent resurgence and the idea of rewatch podcasts clicked. I love podcasts, and the chance to sit with Sarah and others to relive those moments felt right.”
Adams believes the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes contributed to Suits reaching a broader audience in 2023.
“It found new viewers, and longtime fans revisited it,” the actor told Ferguson, 49. “Suddenly, people were excited about Mike Ross again. It felt surreal—I thought that chapter was closed.”
