The series was also revealed as one of Netflix’s most-watched series of 2023, airing over 45 billion minutes streamed, possibly making an instant hit for Stephen Amell’s upcoming spinoff.

The original series primarily focuses on the brilliant but unconventional lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Mack), who recruits a talented college dropout, Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams).

Together, they navigate the high-stakes world of corporate law while keeping Mike’s secret hidden from their colleagues and clients. As the series progresses, the characters face various professional and personal challenges, including ethical dilemmas, power struggles, and romantic entanglements.

David Bartis, Doug Liman, Gene Klein, and Victoria Mahoney join Stephen Amell and Suits LA as executive producers. According to Universal Studios International’s president, Beatrice Springborn, Mahoney will direct the pilot, which will capture the original essence of the 2011 legal series. The series is also set in the same universe as Suits, which could lead to potential cameos from familiar faces. Suits: LA is slated to release in 2025.
