Meghan Markle’s hit show “Suits” has reached a new viewership record about four years after the series ended.
The USA Network show, which ran from 2011 to 2019, hit 3.14 billion minutes of streaming time during the week of June 26 to July 2 after its debut on Netflix last month, per Nielsen.
The series surpassed the previous record-holder “Manifest,” which tallied up 2.49 billion minutes of watch time, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
But the number of minutes watched for “Suits” may be a tad higher since Nielsen only takes into account television viewing in the U.S., excluding streaming on phones and tablets.
The Duchess of Sussex, 41, starred as paralegal Rachel Zane in the legal drama alongside Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht.

While the show ran for nine seasons, Markle exited after Season 7 following her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017.
The duo tied the knot at Windsor Castle in May 2018 and have since welcomed two children: son Archie, 4, and daughter Lilibet, 2.
The couple currently reside in Montecito, Calif., after stepping down from their royal duties.
Although Markle previously left acting behind, sources told Page Six in May that she inked a deal with Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel’s talent agency, WME, to become a “power player” in the industry.
“Even though she is, of course, an actress, this isn’t about movies or shows for Meghan to star in, it is about creating projects for her to produce – she wants to run the show,” an insider said.
