As if there wasn’t enough anticipation around NBC’s Suits LA, the legal drama is bringing in some familiar faces — including a cameo or two from the original cast.
Set in a fictional New York City corporate law firm, the original Suits followed associate lawyer Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who started working with Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). The legal drama, which ran from 2011 to 2019, focused on Harvey and Mike winning lawsuits and closing cases while simultaneously hiding Mike’s secret that he didn’t go to law school.
The show had a resurgence in popularity in 2023 when it was added to Netflix and Peacock. As a result, NBC developed a spinoff starring Stephen Amell, Josh McDermitt, Lex Scott Davis and Bryan Greenberg.
“We want to play the hits. We want to have a lot of fun,” Amell told Entertainment Weekly in December 2024. “We are only sitting in Black Lane Law group conference room at the moment right now because of Gabriel and Patrick [J. Adams] and Sarah [Rafferty] and Meghan [Markle] and Rick [Hoffman] and all of the people that comprised the original Suits cast. So all of them are welcome.”
The Suits franchise lives on with another spinoff, Suits LA. Suits LA will feature new characters played by Stephen Amell, Bryan Greenberg, Josh McDermitt and Lex Scott Davis. It will be located in a new place, but it’s set in the same universe as the original series. Suits ran for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019 […]
Amell made it clear that the door is open for more cameos, adding, “I’m not the one that invites them, but as far as I’m concerned, all of them are welcome. … We’re going to do our own thing, and that’s OK. We do things on this show that they couldn’t do on the original.”
The actor, who plays the lead in the spinoff series, also revealed how his character Ted Black has a special connection to Macht’s Harvey.
“You’ll notice behind my desk that there’s a picture of a young Ted Black with what can only be a young Harvey Specter so there’s clearly a history between the characters,” he explained. “We came up together in the D.A.’s office. So if I was going to have anyone [from the original cast] come back, I would want it to be Gabriel. I would really hope that that happens, because I am very much a fan of his character and I think that that dynamic would be something that the viewers would really enjoy.”
