'Suits LA:' What to know about 'Suits' spinoff series set on the West Coast, how to watch
Move over Harvey Specter, there's a new lawyer in town.
"Suits LA," the highly anticipated "Suits" spin-off series, is set to premiere on Sunday, Feb. 23 on NBC. The NBC Original will make its debut nearly six years the original concluded. And fans of the original will get to see Harvey again.
"Suits LA" follows Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who has reinvented himself by representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles, according to NBC's logline.
In an interview with The New York Times, Aaron Korsh, who created and produced both projects, says he's not sweating the small stuff this time around. Korsh's loyalty is to himself, to the version of the show he wants to make.
"I would love other people to like it. I would love it to be a big hit. But it is of a secondary concern to me," Korsh told the Times. "The biggest difference between the original and 'Suits LA' is fans' expectations."
Here's what to know about "Suits LA," including the premiere date, cast and how to watch.
What is 'Suits LA' about?
Ted Black's firm is at a "crisis point" and in order to survive, he must "embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career," NBC says. Black, a former New York prosecutor, moves from East to West to become an entertainment lawyer.
"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," the show's description read. "All of this is going on while we slowly unravel the events that years ago led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved."
When does 'Suits LA' premiere? How to watch
"Suits LA" premieres Sunday, Feb. 23 at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT on NBC, streaming on Peacock the next day.
Harvey Specter will make an appearance on 'Suits LA'
Gabriel Macht is set to reprise his role as Harvey Specter in three episodes of "Suits LA" this season "for the fans," People reported.
"I'm just doing it for the fans. I'm not doing it for me. I've done it 134 times," Macht shared in a January interview with People.
Korsh called Macht up a few months ago, offering him the opportunity to appear on the show.
"Aaron called me and he just said, 'Look, this is a different world. This is in L.A. It's not New York, but the character of Ted, who Stephen Amell is playing, he came out of New York," Macht told People. "And (Harvey) would've known him when you were in New York. And if there's any world where you might be interested in coming back, let me know. Because I have this idea that could be really great.'"
Macht "wasn't expecting" fans would be so excited about his reprisal. "I mean, I don't know. I try not to have high expectations. But yes, people were excited. And I think it'll be fun," he said.
Macht won't be the only "Suits" character to make an appearance on the show.
"Those might be surprises," he told People.
'Suits LA' cast
The "Suits LA" cast includes a handful of actors to play the high-powered attorneys, including "Arrow" actor Stephen Amell, running Black Lane Law.
Ted Black, played by Amell, is described as a "charismatic force of nature who puts his own needs above others."
Black's buddy and colleague, Stuart Lane (Josh McDermitt) is an "energetic, powerful, focused and self-absorbed." Joining them will be Erica Rollins (Lex Scott Davis) as 'savvy and strong-willed rising star at the firm who is shrewd enough to test the loyalty of her associates only to admire some of them for not having any," per NBC insider.
The official cast list for "Suits LA" is listed below:
Stephen Amell as Ted Black
as Ted Black Lex Scott Davis as Erica Rollins
as Erica Rollins Josh McDermitt as Stuart Lane
