Suits remains one of the most iconic TV shows, with fans still buzzing about it years after its original finale. The excitement reached new heights when news broke that a spin-off, Suits: LA, would be made, even though it’s coming six years after the original series ended. So, what’s the reason for this delay?
According to ScreenRant, the major factor behind this new spin-off is the show’s renewed popularity after being made available for streaming in 2023. It quickly became a talking point among fans online, even beating out the hit series Wednesday, which was one of the most popular shows of that year.
Suits didn’t just outperform Wednesday, though—it also surpassed the viewership of The Office. The Hollywood Reporter highlighted that Suits broke the viewership record set by the Steve Carell-led show back in 2020, further proving its massive appeal.
As for the spin-off, fans are in for a treat. Suits: LA features an impressive cast, including Stephen Amell, who will play Ted Black. The show will also feature Jost McDermitt as Stuart Lane, Bryan Greenberg as Rick Dodson, Lex Scott Davis as Erica Rollins, Troy Winbush as Kevin, and Alice Lee as Leah. The cast’s star power is sure to bring excitement.
The best part for Suits fans is that some familiar faces from the original series will also make appearances in the spin-off. Gabriel Macht, who played the beloved Harvey Specter, will return for a three-episode arc in the first season, adding even more nostalgia and excitement to the new venture.
Until Suits: LA airs, fans can catch up on the original series, which is currently streaming on Netflix.
