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.
