Suits Season 5 has premiered online in the UK ahead of its TV broadcast.

The first episode of the new season airs on Dave on Monday 10th August at 19pm, only a short time after Season 4 reached its finale.

Dave confirmed recently that it would bring the fifth season of the legal drama, starring Gabriel Macht and Patrick J Adams, forward because “audiences loved Suits so much”. As a result, fans do not have to wait too long after the US air date to catch up with Harvey Specter and his former protege, college drop-out Mike, who made a career out of pretending to be a qualified lawyer. In fact, as of today, fans don’t have to wait any longer, as Dave has already added the first episode of Season 5 to its free VOD service, UKTV Play.

UKTV took the same decision with Season 3 and Season 4 earlier this year, as part of its effort to promote its catch-up streaming platform, which also boasts shows such as Red Dwarf and Parks and Recreation Season 4. (The service also covers the channels Really and Yesterday.)

Steve North, General Manager for Dave, commented at the start of the year: “Suits has the charm, wit and intelligence that most series can only dream of, so where else would you find it but Dave?”

Each episode of Suits Season 5 will be available to catch up with on UKTV Play for seven days following their broadcast.

Not caught up with Suits? Seasons 1 to 3 are available to binge on through both Netflix UK and Amazon Prime Instant Video.
