'Suits LA' Fans Say the Spinoff "Never Had a Chance"
It's official: NBC has cancelled Suits: LA ahead of the May 18 finale. This week's episode sees the return of Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman), a fan-favorite from the original series.
The original Suits was a hit on USA Network before finding a resurgence on Netflix, so viewers had high hopes for a spinoff. But, with a cast of new faces instead of the original actors, it never got off the ground. According to Deadline, viewership was stuck around 1 million per episode, and wasn't a hit on Peacock either.

NBC shared a clip from the May 12 episode on Instagram and sparked a heated debate in the comments section. Many fans expressed their disappointment at the cancellation, but some viewers blamed fans who were stuck on the original series and never gave the spinoff a chance.
"Congratulations to everyone who didn't accept a spinoff. Who didn't understand the the success of a spin off just strengths the legacy of the original series. That it means we can always expect to see the original cast returning even when the actors are working on new projects. Now it's canceled. I guess that's what you wanted. So congratulations 👏🏽"
"Fans ruined it for everyone else. Never gave the show a chance and the last 3-4 episodes have been amazing. This show has so much potential. Hopefully it gets renewed through Netflix or we get a Suits Seattle with Harvey Mike and Donna"
"I love this show and it's not fair it got canceled. If you want the OG Suits, go watch the original. This expansion deserves more seasons."
"Sad to hear about the cancellation. Really liked the show."
"The big mistake was trying to create something completely from scratch. Since they could bring back the original characters, they should've just continued the original story, but from the perspective of a new character — one who interacts with familiar faces and situations from the original series."
"Loved the show. I pray to god they will never reboot Suits OG just so the fans don't get what they want. What a shame to the fans for not giving this a chance, y'all ain't a true fan"
"So gutted, the fans absolutely killed this one. It's all on the fans."
Another Suits spinoff, the Gina Torres-led Pearson, was also canceled after just one season. It might be time to admit that nothing can capture the allure of the original.
