USA network renews legal drama ‘Suits’ for fourth season
USA has picked up legal drama “Suits” for a fourth season -- and swanky suits and ties around the world breathed a sigh of relief.
The fourth season of the drama, centered on a Manhattan corporate law firm led by a legendary slick lawyer (Gabriel Macht) and his brilliant (bootleg) associate (Patrick J. Adams), will consist of 16 episodes.
“Suits” recently wrapped the first half of its third season -- and was among TV’s top five scripted shows in the 18-49 demo during its summer run. The remaining six episodes will air in the first quarter of 2014 after the Olympics, and will feature Olympian Michael Phelps as a guest star.
