There will be a change at the helm of USA Network’s hot new legal drama Suits, which was recently renewed for a second season. Sean Jablonski, who served as executive producer/showrunner for the first season, is leaving. He will be succeeded by the series’ creator Aaron Korsh who is being promoted from co-executive producer to executive producer and new showrunner.
Jablonski was brought in for the series’ launch as Korsh had no producing experience and had only held staff writer jobs on 2 short-lived series, The Deep End and Notes From the Underbelly, before he created Suits. But during the first season, he impressed USA brass with his progress and has been deemed ready to take over the show next season. It is common for TV networks to bring in experienced showrunners for the initial order of a new series until the novice creators learn the ropes. CBS did that with its awards heavyweight The Good Wife, which was run by Dee Johnson for the first 13 episodes, with co-creators Michelle and Robert King taking over after that. Korsh will executive produce Suits alongside Doug Liman and David Bartis.

He’s profiled in a book about the TV industry called “Small Screen, Big Picture” I just read. Good for him
So that’s how the networks do it when the show creator has never run his own show. Good to know.
The Kid’s on fire!
I’ve watched every ep so far this first season and they’ve all been great. Solid writing. Top stuff. All characters really intertwine and get chances to shine. Not too many false notes. it’s good to see a good writer given more responsibility really based on their work — telling the story. keep it going Aaron. Congrats.
I watch very few shows but this one has already stuck in our house. It’s a good one.
I agree. Best show of the summer. Terrific writing, terrific cast, terrific acting. The summer schedule has been so awful, but this new show was a revelation. Hope it will be around for many years.
So rich.
Incredible show!!! Love love love it!!!!
Congratulations to Aaron. He’s one of the good guys and his years of hard work have paid off.
Awesome show. Congrats Aaron.
This is definitely one of the shows on tv. It is solid on every level.
I meant… this is one of the best shows on tv.
Another huge fan of this show, it hooked me right from the pilot – great show.
I haven’t liked a new show in ages, but I love Suits. My favorite show right now.
Its amazing how much it takes from the old show Profit, and not just how much the main characters look alike. This show is more feel good and up to date, but both shows are great.
Amazing show, great writing and great cast. A legal show without courtrooms! Who would have thought it’s possible? But the lawyers are doing more illegal stuff than the crooks… Love it.
I don’t watch much TV, but this one got me from the git go. Can’t get enough and need season 2 to start before next summer..solid writing, well developed characters and talented actors..
I have watch since the first season and enjoy all parts of the show. However, as I watch tonight I was so insulted by the use of God Damn so many times. You do not need to damn God to make the points necessary! If you correct the language I will continue to watch the show.
*Suits is great…language is getting worse. Please remove the use of G__ D___ from the show…it’s not necessary and is destroying the show for me and many of my friends and family.
Watched latest episode…so disappointing to hear G–D—- spoken 3 or 4 times. Profanity and unconnected, inserted sex are 2 signs a writer is off his/her game and lost creativity, cleverness, wit, etc. Also, don’t like the uncharacteristic “new’ Harvey. This is so not him! Hope this was just an “off” day for the writers as I have enjoyed the creativity of the show. Otherwise, another good show gone bad that I have to cross off my DVR list.
We watched the latest episode and were not impressed. Your writer’s came back this season using more profanity and now the G-D word, (using it like they are saying hi to someone). The profanity was bad enough to make us re-think watching a show we had been enjoying, but now you have added a sex seen that was totally un-necessary. You have one more chance/show, to get back to what made the show good to start with or we will change the channel. 03-02-13
