This is NBCUniversal’s first scripted format deal in Asia.
The Korean version will be jointly exec-produced by Sebastian Dong Hun Lee and David Kim of EnterMedia Contents, who are represented by WME. Lee and Kim were responsible for the U.S. adaptations of Korean hit scripted series, My Love from Another Star and Good Doctor.
Suits debuted on USA Networks in 2011 and is now in its fifth season.
The Korean deal was closed by Asia director format sales liaison, Linfield Ng, and Yvonne Pilkington, NBCUniversal International’s SVP formats and production.
