Suits LA Premieres This Week, and Here’s Everything You Need to Know About It
Another twist in the legal drama world is coming.
There are only a few genres in the TV industry that can keep you fully invested in every episode. And legal dramas are one of them. So if you are a fan, here’s great news for you: the spinoff of an iconic series is coming to NBC this week!
We are, of course, talking about Suits LA, the new chapter in the legendary Suits franchise. The original series, which ran for nine seasons, garnered a huge following for its unique blend of sharp legal battles, witty one-liners and captivating character dynamics. And Suits LA aims to capture that same charm and success, but with a new setting and new characters.
The series is set in Los Angeles, where the high-stakes world of corporate law continues to unfold. The central character, Olivia Grant, a brilliant young lawyer, finds herself navigating the challenges of working at a prestigious law firm while managing complicated personal relationships.
Like its predecessor, Suits LA will emphasize fast-paced courtroom drama alongside the personal lives of its characters. There will be new unlikely friendships, sharp rivalries and, of course, romance.
One of the most notable changes in this spinoff is the introduction of a more diverse cast and a focus on tackling relevant social issues, reflecting the cultural landscape of Los Angeles.
There also is an added layer of modern relevance, as Suits LA will explore issues such as social justice, corporate responsibility, and the intersection of law and technology.
Can Suits LA Top the Original?
While fans of the original series are overall happy with the news, especially since Gabriel Macht is coming to star in several episodes of the show as the one and only Harvey Specter, there are some people who don’t actually understand what the new show will bring to the genre and how it can top the iconic Suits.
“I don’t get what we’re supposed to be drawn in by. Mike was a fraud who fought for the little guy and Harvey was the overconfident ass hole and together they made each other better. Where’s the conflict here? I’m definitely watching but I’m feeling like this will flop like Pearson, Reditor DualDier said.
Hard to argue, Suits definitely had an unlikely premise with Mike's story. But maybe Suits LA has something even better up its sleeve that wasn't revealed in the trailer? Let's find out together.
The first episode airs Sunday, February 23 at 9pm ET on NBC.
