Hit Series SUITS to Air in Spanish on NBC Universo, Beg. 7/7

NBC UNIVERSO, the modern sports and entertainment cable channel for Latinos, today announced the premiere of Suits, the original usa network and Universal Cable Productions series that has already spawned a cult following and droves of fans who call themselves "Suitors." Suits is now set to appeal to a Spanish-language audience when it airs for the first time on U.S. television in Spanish beginning Tue., July 7, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Already a hit show in English, Suits delves into the fast-paced, high-stakes world of a top Manhattan corporate law firm, where Mike Ross (Screen Actors Guild Award Nominee Patrick J. Adams), a brilliant young hustler and college dropout, impresses macho cutthroat attorney and Harvard Law graduate Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) with his extensive, encyclopedic knowledge of the law, and gains a coveted spot among the law-degree staff. The two soon become an unstoppable duo, inciting jealousy and tension among senior partners and associates alike, as they try to hide the fact that Mike did not attend law school.

Working to manage the combustible staff and keep the firm on top of its game is Jessica Pearson (ALMA Award Winning Actress Gina Torres), the cool and calculating leader who knows how to play the corporate game, and is not afraid to pick a fight with anyone who threatens the practice she has built.

Torres was also nominated for an ALMA Award for Favorite TV Actress - Supporting Role for her part in the premiere season of Suits, which NBC UNIVERSO viewers can watch every week on Tuesdays from 10-11 p.m. ET/PT, followed by Season Two (28 total episodes). The series also stars Rick Hoffman as the ruthless Louis Litt, Meghan Markle as the ambitious paralegal Rachel Zane, and Sarah Rafferty as the top law secretary in the business, Donna Paulsen.

"As we continue to build our primetime offerings with edgy programming for Hispanics, NBC UNIVERSO is thrilled to be the first channel to introduce Suits to Spanish-speaking audiences in the U.S.," said Bilai Joa Silar, Senior Vice President, Programming & Production, NBC UNIVERSO. "Now an entirely new audience will be able to follow the series from its inception, and be captivated by the show's great storytelling, emotional characters and tantalizing themes."
