Although Patrick J. Adams may not be revisiting the Suits universe with the upcoming Suits: L.A., he is currently engaged in a project that is capturing significant attention. Adams portrayed the character Mike Ross in the USA Network’s legal drama from Seasons 1 through 7, leaving the series for personal reasons. However, he made a notable return for a three-episode arc in the show’s concluding season, wrapping up Mike’s storyline. The debut of Suits: L.A. will follow a hiatus of just over five years since Adams last stepped into the shoes of Mike.
The eagerly anticipated Suits: L.A. is set to premiere on Sunday, February 23, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET on NBC. While the pilot was filmed in Vancouver, the remainder of the series is being shot in Los Angeles, California.
In 2023, Suits gained an unprecedented resurgence in popularity on Netflix. According to a Variety report, it emerged as the most-streamed show of the year, despite its finale airing four years prior. This revival prompted NBC to greenlight a spinoff, with Aaron Korsh, the original creator, returning as showrunner. Stephen Amell is taking the lead in the cast as Ted Black. Speculation has been rife regarding the potential return of original Suits actors, including Adams. Nevertheless, Adams is not expected to reprise his role as Mike anytime soon. As of now, he is tied up with a different project.

The Potential for a Mike Ross Cameo in Suits: L.A.
A Possible Return to the Suits Universe
It is possible to hold two opinions simultaneously: Patrick J. Adams’ role in The Madison currently seems more intriguing than a return to his character Mike in Suits: L.A., but it would nonetheless be entertaining for him to make a cameo appearance in the spinoff. A brief reappearance of Mike would surely delight fans of the original series, but the likelihood diminishes given that Adams appears to be deeply involved in the production of the Yellowstone spinoff. The silver lining is that Gabriel Macht, who played Harvey Specter, is reportedly returning for Suits: L.A. on NBC.
