“Suits: L.A.,” led by Stephen Amell, has received a series order pickup by NBC.
NBC is officially going to court with Suits: L.A., handing the Stephen Amell-starring spinoff a series order. A network rep tells TVLine that it has not yet been determined if the offshoot will air as soon as midseason or be held for the 2025-26 season.
Set in the world of the original USA Network drama, the project follows a brand new character, Ted Black (played by Arrow vet Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York who “has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles,” per the official synopsis.
“His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career,” the description continues. “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. All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved.”
The Walking Dead alum Josh McDermitt stars opposite Amell as Stuart Lane, who joined up with his buddy Ted Black to build an L.A. firm. Rounding out the series-regular cast are Lex Scott Davis (The L Word: Generation Q) as Erica Rollins, a savvy and strong-willed rising star at the firm, and Bryan Greenberg (One Tree Hill) as Rick Dodsen, Ted Black’s protégé in the entertainment division.
Additionally, Alice Lee (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist) and Troy Winbush (The Goldbergs, The Wilds) guest-star in the pilot (with the potential to recur). Lee plays Leah, a young associate attorney who has been assigned to work with (or, as it turns out, for) entertainment attorney Erica Rollins. Winbush, meanwhile, is Ted’s old friend and ex-partner, Kevin, who is a former FBI agent-turned-private detective.
