Harvey Specter Returns to TV in Suits LA

Fans of the original Suits series are in for a treat. Harvey Specter, played by Gabriel Macht, is making a comeback on the small screen. This time, he's appearing in the spinoff series Suits LA. The new show is set in Los Angeles and focuses on a law firm that specializes in criminal and entertainment law. The lead role is played by Stephen Amell, who portrays Ted Black, a former New York prosecutor. The creator of the original series, Aaron Korsh, wanted to maintain a connection to the original show. He thought it would be a good idea to bring back Harvey Specter, since Ted Black was also a prosecutor in New York. This decision was made during the filming of a Suits-inspired Super Bowl ad for T-Mobile in 2024. Korsh took a chance and included a picture of Macht in the pilot episode without discussing it with him first. Luckily, Macht agreed to join the show after the series was picked up. Macht believes that fans of the original series will enjoy the new show if they can embrace the new cast. He thinks that the similarities and differences between the two shows will make it appealing to viewers. Korsh also wants to bring back other original cast members, but he doesn't want it to feel forced. He wants to keep the show fresh and organic.

Amell is excited about the tie-in with the original series. He thinks it will give fans a chance to see what Harvey Specter has been up to. Korsh knew that Amell was the right actor for the lead role from the moment he auditioned. He's keeping an open mind about future projects in the Suits universe, but he doesn't want to rush into anything. The future of the Suits franchise is uncertain, but there are talks about a potential movie. Korsh has other projects in the works, so it remains to be seen what will happen next. Suits LA premieres Sunday on NBC and next day on Peacock. The return of Harvey Specter is a big deal for fans of the original series. It's a chance to see a familiar face in a new setting. The new show has the potential to be just as successful as the original, but it will depend on how well the new cast is received. Fans are excited to see what Harvey Specter has been up to and how he fits into the new story.
