With the wild resurgence of Suits, which blew up Netflix viewership numbers upon landing on the platform in 2023, it's no surprise that NBC Universal is looking to see if lightning can strike twice with a spinoff. Suits: LA will follow in the same universe as Suits, but this time it features a former New York prosecutor who lands in Los Angeles and builds a legal empire.
Suits: LA is based on Suits, which ran on the USA Network for nine seasons from 2011-2019. The series starred Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle, Gina Torres and Sarah Rafferty and centered on one of New York City's best lawyers, Harvey Specter, and his team.
NBC ordered a pilot for the series, which is set to begin production in March 2024. If network executives like what they see, it's possible that the series will eye a fall 2024 premiere.
Here's everything we know about Suits: LA.
Suits: LA release date
As of this writing, there is only a pilot order for Suits: LA, which is slated to be filmed in March 2024. If NBC decides to order more episodes of the series, it's very likely that production will continue in the spring and summer so that it will be ready for the fall 2024 television schedule.
When we have more information about the release date for Suits: LA, we'll add it in right here.
In the meantime, while Suits: LA will air on NBC, you can watch the original Suits through subscriptions to Peacock, Netflix and Prime Video.
Suits: LA plot
Here's the official synopsis for Suits: LA from NBC: "Ted Black (Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career. 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. All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved."

Lex Scott Davis (Training Day, Florida Man) has been cast in a lead role as Erica Rollins, "a savvy and strong-willed rising star. Erica works for Ted Black. She’s shrewd enough to test the loyalty of her associates only to admire some of them for not having any."
Troy Winbush (The Wilds) has been cast in a guest role as Kevin, Ted Black's friend and ex-partner who was formerly an FBI agent and is now a private detective. Per Deadline, the guest role will become a recurring role if the show gets picked up.
