Suits L.A.: Will Harvey Specter Return in the New Spinoff Series? 

If you’re a fan of Suits, you probably remember Harvey Specter: the sharp, confident lawyer with a knack for winning cases and making snappy one-liners. For a lot of people, Harvey is what made Suits so addictive. So, when the series was renewed for a spin-off, it was only natural to wonder: Will Harvey return?

Well, good news! Harvey Specter is indeed coming back in Suits L.A., the new spinoff series that will expand on the world of the original show. But before you get too excited, here’s the catch—Harvey won’t be in every episode. He’s only making a brief return for a three-episode arc. It’s not a permanent return, but it’s enough to get any Suits fan pumped.

Harvey Specter Joins Suits L.A. in Limited Role

If you’re one of the many people who loved Harvey Specter’s confidence, sharp suits, and even sharper wit, you’re probably wondering how he fits into the upcoming Suits L.A. spinoff.

After all, it’s been a few years since Suits wrapped up, and it seems like everyone is coming back for this new chapter. But how will Harvey fit into this new world? Good news, Suits fans—Gabriel Macht, who played Harvey for all nine seasons of the original series, will reprise his role as the legendary lawyer in Suits L.A..

But before you get too excited, here’s the deal: Harvey will only appear in a three-episode arc. That means he won’t be a regular character on the show. Still, even a few episodes of Harvey is enough to make us want more.

As for why Harvey is coming back, according to rumors (per Deadline) it’s because he’s helping out an old friend. Since Suits L.A. is set in California, it makes sense that Harvey could be involved with a new legal project.

The new show focuses on a law firm run by Ted Black, a former New York prosecutor played by Stephen Amell. So, could Ted be the “old friend” Harvey is helping out? Maybe—there’s a lot of mystery around Harvey’s return, and we’re all here for it.

Even though Harvey isn’t coming back full-time, his return in this new show is going to be huge. Fans have been waiting for a chance to see Harvey in action again, and now they’ll get to see him bring his signature style to the West Coast.

Who Else is Joining Harvey Specter in Suits LA?

While Harvey’s return is the big news, Suits L.A. has a fresh cast of characters that are going to bring their own drama to the table. The lead role is filled by Stephen Amell, best known for playing Oliver Queen in Arrow.

In Suits L.A., Amell plays Ted Black, a former prosecutor from New York who is now trying to build a new legal empire in Los Angeles. Ted is described as a sharp, ambitious lawyer, so he’s definitely got that Harvey Specter vibe—just with a California twist.

Ted isn’t alone in the world of Suits L.A. though. He’s joined by a colorful team of new lawyers. First up, we have Josh McDermitt, who you might know from The Walking Dead. He’s playing Stuart Lane, Ted’s partner at the law firm. Stuart is a self-absorbed lawyer who loves the spotlight and doesn’t mind stepping on people to get ahead.

Then there’s Lex Scott Davis, who plays Erica Rollins, a young and ambitious lawyer looking to prove herself in the competitive legal world. If you loved watching Mike Ross grow into a lawyer in Suits, you’ll probably enjoy seeing Erica chase her own dreams in this new series.

Troy Winbush plays Kevin, a former FBI agent who now works as a private investigator for Ted’s law firm. Kevin’s got a knack for solving problems—and maybe digging up a few secrets along the way. Alice Lee will also join the cast as Leah, an associate attorney who could get more screen time if the show gets picked up for a full season.

There’s also Bryan Greenberg, who plays Rick Dodsen, a young lawyer at the firm. Rick is gunning for a major promotion, so you know that’s going to lead to some intense office drama.

But Ted and his team aren’t the only ones bringing star power to Suits L.A.—the pilot will feature some notable guest stars too. John Amos, famous for his roles in classic TV shows like Good Times, will play himself, and Victoria Justice will step into the role of Dylan Pryor, a rising star in Hollywood.

When is Suits L.A. Coming Out?

If you’re wondering when you can finally see Suits L.A., mark your calendars: the show will premiere on February 23, 2025! That’s right—NBC is bringing the legal drama to your screens as part of its 2025 midseason lineup, and we couldn’t be more excited. 

Suits L.A. will air on Sunday nights at 9 PM EST, and it’s going to be a great way to start your weekend. The buzz around the show is already big, especially after Suits made such a huge comeback on Netflix in 2023.

Filming for the new show started in November 2024, so they’ve been working hard to make sure it’s as good as we’re expecting. Along with Suits L.A., NBC will also premiere another new show called Gross Point Garden Society, so you’ve got some fresh TV to look forward to on Sunday nights.

Since Suits L.A. will air in the midseason, it’s got a prime spot to grab the attention of TV fans who are looking for something new. If you’ve been a fan of the original Suits series and love legal dramas, you’re not going to want to miss this one.
