The Big Bang Theory prequel series wrapped things up on CBS May 16 with a two-episode finale that scored 8.95M viewers. Not only was it the top broadcast of the night, it was also the most-watched episode of Young Sheldon in four years — since the Season 3 finale in April 2020. That episode managed 10.15M same-day viewers.
As we already know, Suits has enjoyed a bang-up run on Netflix. All nine seasons (season 9 was not available in the U.S. on Netflix) rounded up nearly 146M views in the second half of 2023 — not nearly as huge as when it exploded last year, but still something to write home about. Season 1, which sits at No. 21, remained the most popular at around 26.9 million views, followed by season 2 (21.7M), season 3 (19.3M), season four (16.8M), season 5 (15.5M), season 6 (14.6), season 7 (13.8) and season 8 (12M).
Because of its huge success on the streamer, UCP is working on a spinoff called Suits: LA that stars Stephen Amell.
