An originalSuitsstar is set to reprise their role in a recurring manner inSuits LA. After what seemed like a lengthy wait, Aaron Korsh’s much-anticipated spinoff is set to release in early 2025. Motivated bySuits’domination of the streaming spacein 2023, the expansion show introduces an entirely new roster of lawyers working in California.Amell leads the cast ofSuits LAas Ted Black, and he is joined by Josh McDermitt, Lex Scott Davis, and Bryan Greenberg as Stuart Lane, Erica Rollins, and Rick Dodsen, respectively. Now, one familiar face will appear.
PerDeadline, Gabriel Macht will step back into the shoes of Harvey Specter, appearing inSuits LAon NBC. According to the report, citing anonymous sources, the actor will reprise his role in a three-episode arc. Specific plot details about the matter are still scant at the moment, but the outlet also mentions thatMacht’s upcoming guest stint isn’t setting him up to join the cast ofSuits LAfull-time.
What Harvey’s Role In Suits LA Might Be
Harvey & Ted May Have A Shared New York History
UnlikeSuits' first spinoff, which was spearheaded by Gina Torres' Jessica Pearson, the assumption is that there’s no overlap betweenSuits LAand the flagship series. This makes the new spinoff risky, considering thatSuitswas beloved because of the ensemble of characters, led by Harvey and Mike Ross. That said, a potential connection between its two lead attorneys may be the narrative opening that would explain Macht’s appearance in the offshoot. Both Harvey and Ted started working at a government agency in New York.
It’s curious, however, if Harvey’s appearance in Suits LA also means that Mike will be involved as well.
If Amell’s character was at the New York County District Attorney’s Office when New York’s Best Closer was also there, they might know each other. SinceTed’s firm is in shambles whenSuits LAbegins, he can reach out to his old friend, who is supposedly still based in Seattle, for help. Otherwise, it could be a more straightforward match-up for the lawyers, with Ted representing the high-profile celebrities in Hollywood, while Harvey fights for the common man. It’s curious, however, if Harvey’s appearance inSuits LAalso means that Mike will be involved as well.
Our Take On Harvey’s Upcoming Return In Suits LA
It’s Good, But It Can Be Better
Obviously, it’s great that Macht is coming back as Harvey inSuits LA. While it’s only going to be for a limited time, it’s better than not having any new content with him. It’s worth noting that whenSuitsbroke out on streaming, calls for a revival were centered on seeing him again, as he continues his life in Seattle with Donna. That said, it would be amassive waste of opportunity if Harvey’s return doesn’t also include Mike. The pair was the face of the originalSuits, with their dynamic carrying the show for the majority of its run.
Suits LApremieres on NBC on August 09, 2025, at 9 pm ET.
