Will Sarah Rafferty reprise her 'Suits' role? For now, she's savoring 'My Life With the Walter Boys'
This summer, Sarah Rafferty starred in one of the most-watched shows to hit streaming — four years after the series ended its run.
"Suits," the legal drama that originally ran on USA Network from 2011 to 2019, has seen a resurgence in popularity since it became available to stream on Netflix in June. (It's also available to stream in full on Peacock.) In the months since, the series has broken several streaming records — notching 18 billion streaming minutes in July alone — and is the most-watched title ever acquired by a streaming service, according to Nielsen.
It's the sort of feat Rafferty's character on the show, the all-knowing and impeccably dressed legal secretary-turned Chief Operations Officer Donna Paulsen, might be tempted to celebrate by partaking in the show's ever-mysterious can opener ritual. (The series also famously stars Meghan Markle.) Rafferty, though, is hoping some of that success will benefit her newest series for the streamer.
She stars as Katherine Walter, the matriarch of the large Walter family, in Netflix's adaptation of the Ali Novak's coming-of-age novel, "My Life With the Walter Boys." Now streaming, the series revolves around 15-year-old Jackie, who is uprooted from Manhattan to rural Colorado after the deaths of several members of her immediate family. She is taken in by her mom's best friend, Katherine, and her husband, George (Marc Blucas), who are already raising 10 children, mostly boys.
In a recent video call from her home in the Valley, Rafftery, whose post-"Suits" credits include "Grey's Anatomy" and "Chicago Med," talked about the benefit of playing a mom on a teen show, watching "Suits" find
