Embarking on a daring journey, the legendary legal saga Suits is charting a course for a spinoff in the sun-drenched streets of Los Angeles. Yet, admirers of the stylish Harvey Specter, brought to life by Gabriel Macht, brace for an unexpected twist.
Whispers hint at the series boldly advancing without its pivotal character, injecting uncertainty into the narrative trajectory of this fresh venture.
NBC Greenlights Pilot For Suits: LA, The Anticipated Spinoff
NBC has given the green light for the pilot episode of Suits: LA, the highly anticipated spinoff of the popular legal drama. Production is set to kick off in late March in Vancouver.
The new series follows Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who now represents powerful clients in Los Angeles. The new longline suggests (Deadline),
“His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career. Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives.”
Further, it added,
“All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved.”
The original series, which aired from 2011 to 2019 on USA Network, regained popularity with its addition to Netflix. Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle, Gina Torres, and Sarah Rafferty, among others, starred in the flagship series.
However, none of the original cast members are attached to the spinoff as of yet. Meanwhile, creator Aaron Korsh serves as writer and executive producer alongside David Bartis, Dog Liman, and Gene Klein.
While the original series gained popularity on Netflix and Peacock, the spinoff lacks the original cast, causing tension among fans.
