NBC is gearing up for the premiere of Suits LA, a much-anticipated spin-off of the acclaimed series Suits. While it retains the essence of the original, this new iteration introduces fresh characters and sets the stage in a glitzy new locale. The narrative pivots around Ted Black (played by Stephen Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York who embarks on a new journey as a Hollywood entertainment lawyer, promising to add a novel dimension to the Suits franchise.
Suits LA Teaser Recaptures a Classic Element of the Original Series
Suits LA Honors the Original Suits Show
The Suits LA teaser cleverly echoes the original series’ opening, featuring the nostalgic theme song “Greenback Boogie,” which resonated throughout all nine seasons of Suits. This lively track effectively conveys the energetic atmosphere of Los Angeles, setting an upbeat tone for the new show.
In addition to the returning theme music, the teaser embraces familiar visuals associated with Suits: stylish characters navigating a bustling law firm with panoramic views. However, this time, the backdrop is the sunny city of Los Angeles, a shift that aims to distinguish the series from its New York City predecessor, thus enhancing its appeal and potential for success.
We also get a sneak peek of Ted Black, portrayed by Stephen Amell, along with his new team. Notably, Gabriel Macht reprises his role as Harvey Specter, a character who left a lasting impression during his time on Suits. While the specifics of Specter’s involvement in Suits LA remain under wraps, his established prowess as a lawyer hints at a mentorship role for Black, bridging past narratives with new adventures for fans to enjoy.
Suits LA’s Challenge in Finding Its Own Identity

Despite its stylish aesthetic as showcased in the teaser, Suits LA faces a significant challenge: establishing a unique identity for Ted Black and his ensemble cast. The success of Suits hinged on the dynamic relationship between its leads, Mike and Harvey, raising questions about how Black will develop his own connections, both personally and professionally.
While the task of following in the footsteps of its esteemed predecessor is undeniably daunting, the teaser hints at a delightful blend of sophistication and legal drama that fans may find appealing. Potential story arcs suggest a romantic subplot involving Dylan Pryor (Victoria Justice), alongside professional relationships with characters such as criminal attorney Stuart Lane (Josh McDermitt) and budding legal minds Rick Dodson (Bryan Greenberg) and Erica Rollins (Lex Scott Davis).
Suits LA is set to launch on February 23, 2025, on NBC, inviting viewers to explore whether it can carve out its own niche while honoring the spirit of the original series.
