Following the unexpected resurgence of Suits, which shattered Netflix viewership records after debuting on the platform in 2023, NBCUniversal is seizing the moment with plans for a spinoff. Suits: L.A. will expand the original show’s universe, shifting the focus to a former New York prosecutor who relocates to Los Angeles to establish a powerhouse legal firm.

The upcoming series draws inspiration from Suits, the USA Network hit that aired for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019. The original show featured a standout cast, including Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle, Gina Torres, and Sarah Rafferty, and revolved around Harvey Specter, one of New York City’s top lawyers, and his formidable team.

NBC has announced the release date for Suits: L.A., along with a teaser trailer. The series, which has been in production since March 2024, will soon debut on the network.
