Suits LA takes the serpentine law profession to the West Coast, and the fictional entertainment law firm has many big names backing it up. Suits LA comes six years after the original series ended, with Suits remaining one of the best legal dramas in modern history. With such big shoes to fill, Suits LA aims to set itself apart from its predecessor without sacrificing what pulled viewers to Suits in the first place. Given how Suits became even more popular recently, Suits LA is one of the most anticipated new shows of 2025, but the talented cast might be the spinoff’s true selling point.
While the original series included an intimate ensemble cast paired with rotating clientele, Suits LA broadened its scope to include four main lawyers and an impressive host of recurring characters. Suits LA even revived Gabriel Macht’s Harvey Specter for a limited run, tying the spinoff to the original without letting nostalgia overpower its original identity. From the supporting cast to the key players at Black-Lane Law, Suits LA includes many well-known actors and platforms emerging talent at the same time. With the legal procedural set-up of Suits LA, there’s no telling how many celebrity guests the future may hold.
