Suits: LA – A Fresh Take on the ‘Suits’ Universe
In a bold move, creator Aaron Korsh is taking a new approach with the upcoming spin-off series, Suits: LA. The American network NBCUniversal has greenlit a pilot episode for this legal drama, set in a Los Angeles law firm within the same universe as the original series, Suits.
The focal characters are Ted Black (played by Stephen Amell) and his colleague Stuart Lane (portrayed by Josh McDermitt). However, a significant point of departure for the new series is the fact that their law firm is facing turmoil, in stark contrast to the beginning of Suits and the thriving New York office of Pearson, Hardman. While Harvey (played by Gabriel Macht) basked in a promotion at the outset of the original series, leading to the hiring of the underqualified Mike (portrayed by Patrick J. Adams), Ted’s office in Suits: LA is grappling with challenges, leaving little room for celebration.
Suits: LA aims to offer a different dynamic than its predecessor. The narrative structure also allows for characters from New York to make guest appearances, creating a connection between the two series without diluting the essence of the original show.
As fans eagerly anticipate the premiere of Suits: LA, they can continue to enjoy the original series on Netflix. The spin-off promises to bring a fresh perspective to the beloved ‘Suits’ universe, setting the stage for a compelling legal drama in the city of Los Angeles.
