USA Network has struck gold again with The Rainmaker , a legal drama that has quickly become one of the channel’s highest-profile originals in recent years. After its premiere, the series garnered strong ratings and sparked considerable conversation about whether USA might finally have a successor to its “blue sky” era hits, such as Suits ( Deadline ).

Based on John Grisham ’s bestselling novel, The Rainmaker blends courtroom tension with character-driven storytelling. While the book has been adapted before—most notably into Francis Ford Coppola’s 1997 film—USA’s version aims to expand the material into a serialized format. Early ratings suggest that audiences are tuning in, making it a rare cable drama to stand out in today’s streaming-heavy market.
