Over the past few years, the USA Network drama series Suits became a hit once again and seemed to be trending everywhere. It gained an entirely new audience thanks to the series becoming available on streaming networks. Because of the resurgence in popularity, it was announced in October 2023 that a spin-off series called Suits LA was in development—and we're now very close to that show's premiere. Here's what we know about the season.
Mid-season and early 2025 premieres have varying schedules this year, with new and returning shows beginning to their seasons throughout January, February, and even into March. For example, NBC's mid-season premiere for the One Chicago trio of shows is early in the year on January 8, but other shows like The Voice and The Americas aren't debuting until February, and Suits LA is on a similar schedule track.
When the series premieres, it will follow a new team led by Ted Black, a former New York prosecutor who built a Los Angeles law firm that specializes in criminal and entertainment law. NBC has teased that when we first meet Ted's firm, it's at a "crisis point," and in order for Ted to keep it alive, "he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career." It's also very likely that Ted worked with or knew of the original Suits team in New York before venturing out to the West Coast.
Who is in the cast of Suits LA?
While I personally think that we can expect to see several guest stars and surprise cameos from former Suits cast members in Suits LA, we have gotten several confirmed casting announcements for the show. Suits LA will star Stephen Amell as Ted Black, and the cast also includes Lex Scott Davi, Josh McDermitt, and Bryan Greenberg.
Suits fans are also very excited about the most recent casting announcement from NBC, which revealed that Gabriel Macht is in fact suiting back up to reprise his role as Harvey Specter in the new spinoff. According to Deadline, Macht will join the Suits LA team for a three-episode arc, but we don't yet know which episodes those will be.
When does Suits LA premiere on NBC?
Even though Suits LA is not premiering in January 2025, fans won't have to wait too much longer before they can start watching new episodes. NBC has recently announced that Suits LA will air its first episode on Sunday, Feb. 23 at 9/8c. Because the series will air on Sunday nights, it makes sense that NBC wanted to wait until after the Super Bowl to kick off the highly-anticipated show.
Suits LA premieres Sunday, Feb. 23 at 9/8c on NBC. Episodes will air weekly on Sundays, and will also be available to stream the following day on Peacock.
