It’s official: ‘Suits’ is back. The spinoff series ‘Suits: LA’ starring Stephen Amell has been ordered by NBC.
Produced by UCP and Hypnotic, original show creator Aaron Korsh returns as writer and executive producer.
According to the official plot, “Suits: LA” follows Ted Black (Amell), “a former federal prosecutor from New York who has reinvented himself as a representative of the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point and to survive he must embrace a role he has despised throughout his career. Ted is surrounded by a fascinating cast of characters who test their loyalty to Ted and to each other as they can’t help but intertwine their personal and professional lives.”
The series also stars Josh McDermitt, Lex Scott Davis, and Bryan Greenberg. David Bartis, Doug Liman, Jane Klein, and Victoria Mahoney serve as executive producers. Mahoney also directed the pilot episode.
The original series “Suits” ran on USA Network for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019, but regained popularity last year when it premiered on Netflix.
