Suits was spun off at least once and was popular enough on Netflix and Peacock to get the green light on another spin-off. It was originally a cable show I believe. I don't think its appeared outside of whatever network it was on save for streaming and probably syndication somewhere.
Apparently Dave picked it up for the UK, but for whatever reason lost interest (ratings most likely?) and Netflix hoovered it up.
Terrestrial TV doesn't air much US content now save for anything really big or they can get really cheap as a shot to nothing, Sky had (or had) a deal for a lot of the regular stuff that props up Sky Atlantic and anything that's left can go to anybody who waves a cheque book around.
Interesting to note though, we always look West for acquired mainstream content. Its probably only BBC Four now that actually airs the occasional show from Europe or further East - and often in their original language with subtitles. That and a whole swathe of varying quality of dubs into English of Dutch/Danish stuff floating around on Netflix and Prime.
