What we know about Suits L.A., the spinoff of everyone’s favorite streaming binge

Suits could be getting a West Coast refresh

Although it’s been off the air for almost a decade, Suits remains incredibly popular. The show became a phenomenon all over again when it arrived on Netflix, and the intrigue around Meghan Markle has only made the show more interesting for some.

While there isn’t any sort of imminent revival coming, all of this fervor around the show has prompted a spin-off series. Suits: L.A. is set to premiere sometime in 2025, and ahead of the show’s debut, we’ve gathered everything you need to know about the upcoming Suits spin-off.

What is Suits L.A. going to be about?

Suits - Season 1

Suits L.A. will star Stephen Amell of Arrow and Heels as Ted Black, a former New York federal prosecutor who NBC  described as a “charismatic force of nature who puts his own needs above others.” Black teams up with Stuart Lane (Josh McDermitt), an old friend, to start a Los Angeles law firm devoted to criminal and entertainment law.

According to the series logline, Black “has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive, he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career.”

It’s unclear how the show will tie into its predecessor, but it seems like Suits L.A. will have entirely new central characters. What seems likely, then, is that the pilot will feature some characters from Suits, and we may see some others over the course of the series, but Suits L.A. will be designed so that it can function without explicit connections to its predecessor in every episode.

One reason fans of the original series have to be optimistic about Suits L.A. is that Aaron Korsh, who directed the original series, is back for this spin-off, and Victoria Mahoney will serve as director and executive producer. Production began on the show’s first season in late March 2024.

NBCUniversal president of programming, program planning and strategy Jeff Bader has said that they’re excited about the potential for the series: “We’re excited about this. It’s a pilot, and we’ll be screening it in June … Assuming that it gets picked up, it would be for midseason next year.”

When will Suits L.A. premiere?

Suits L.A. has not officially been picked up for a full season yet, but assuming that it does, it will likely premiere sometime in the middle of 2025. This could ultimately be advantageous for the show, as it will be more fully removed from the phenomenon that Suits became when it first arrived on Netflix.

As of right now, it’s still unclear where the spin-off series will air. It’s possible that the show could air on NBC or USA like Suits did, or that it could go right to Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming platform.

You season 5: Everything we know so far
Are you excited for season 5 of You?
Penn Badgley starring in You season 4

When it comes to shows that you can shut your brain off and just enjoy a thrill ride of exciting twists and passionate romance, Netflix's crime drama You fits the bill. Starting out on Lifetime and based on a novel by Caroline Kepnes, You stars Penn Badgley as a serial killer who just wants to find love ... but those aspirations are often overtaken by his bloodier, more morbid desires. The show resembles a more lightweight, sexy version of Dexter or Hannibal and has attracted several different audiences since its inception in 2018.

You may be a roller coaster ride, but it also gets into a repetitive cycle of storytelling each season. Each season, Badgley's Joe Goldberg meets a new love interest, explores a different city, and then runs away for a fresh start before repeating the plot over again. This makes the news of the fifth season being the last all the more enticing. This allows the crew behind the scenes to go out with a bang and escape the familiarity of the plot lines from the past couple of seasons. You has been nominated for Saturn and Atrios Awards throughout its first four seasons, but never an Emmy. This is everything we know so far about You season 5 on Netflix.
What will You season 5 be about?
You season 5 will pick up in New York after season 4 took place in London. Joe and Kate are still together after the death of Kate's father. They will try to manage Joe's attempts to accept his psychotic urges while also blending back into American life and society.

Comedy has been a fixture of television since the medium was in its infancy. Making truly great TV comedy is no simple thing, though, and it's even harder to make a great TV comedy that endures. Comedy is always changing, and what is funny to one generation isn't always funny to the next.

In spite of that, these are the best comedy shows that have endured and gotten me through some of the hardest moments of my life. When you're looking for shows that will make you laugh and some that might make you cry just a little bit, we've got the perfect list for you. While I have a stronger attachment to some of these shows than others, the list as a whole is pretty undeniable. These are the best comedy shows ever made.

Yellowstone season 6: Everything we know about the show’s future
Will there be a Yellowstone season 6?
The cast of Yellowstone

While The Walking Dead was once basic cable's most popular series, it has since been surpassed by Yellowstone, the smash hit that rejuvenated Kevin Costner's career and gave him yet another iconic role to play.

As conceived by series co-creators Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, Yellowstone is a modern Western about the Dutton family, the owners of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch in Montana. That land is extremely valuable, which is why John Dutton (Costner) and his family have gone to great lengths to protect it. And sometimes, the threats come from within the family, which is why John's children, Jamie (Wes Bentley) and Beth (Kelly Reilly), are at each other's throats in season 5.
