Fans of the original series will be thrilled to see familiar faces like Gabriel Macht, who returns as Harvey Specter, alongside Stephen Amell, who stars as the new protagonist, Ted Black.
The story takes place against the vibrant backdrop of Los Angeles, following Ted Black, formerly a federal prosecutor from New York, who has now reinvented himself as the co-founder of Black Lane Law, focusing on representing some of the most influential entertainment clients.

Bryan Greenberg joins them as Ted's protege, Rick Dodson, and audiences will be treated to the dynamics of their competitive relationships.
What makes Suits LA distinct is its fresh character lineup and unique story arcs, primarily seen through Ted's challenges as he must embrace roles he previously held in contempt to save his firm. Aaron Korsh, the original creator, assures fans: "Suits LA is certainly not a copy of Suits. These characters are unique people with their own drives and desires.”
The first episode, titled "Seven Days a Week and Twice on Sunday," will present Ted Black grappling with the merger of his firm with one run by his ex, showcasing the high stakes and personal conflicts inherent to the series. The pilot is directed by Victoria Mahoney, and viewers can expect the tone to mirror the essence of the original series, with new creative twists.
