"Suits" Spinoff "Suits: LA" Gets Premiere Date

NBC network has set the premiere date for "Suits: L.A.", a show set in the same world as (but not a direct spinoff of) "Suits," for March 26. 

Produced by UCP, which produced the original show, and Hypnotic, original show creator Aaron Korsh returns as writer and executive producer.

Per the official logline, “Suits: L.A.” follows Ted Black (Amell), “a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point and 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.”

Josh McDermitt, Lex Scott Davis, and Bryan Greenberg also star.

David Bartis, Doug Liman, Gene Klein and Victoria Mahoney executive produce. Mahoney also directed the pilot.

The original series ran for nine seasons from 2011-2019 on USA Network but regained popularity after the first eight seasons were added to Netflix. When accounting streams on Netflix and Peacock (which also homes another “Suits” spinoff, “Pearson”), the series reigned over the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 for several months and ultimately broke the record for the most-ever No. 1 appearances on Nielsen’s chart.

Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle, Gina Torres (who led the short-lived “Pearson” spinoff), and Sarah Rafferty, among others, starred in the flagship series.
