Button up: the new Suits spin-off is arriving fresh off the rack this week.
Suits LA premieres Sunday, Feb. 23 at 9pm ET/ 8pm CT on NBC. The new revival is part of NBC’s all-new Sunday slate, which also includes the two-hour premiere of the new Tom Hanks-narrated nature docuseries The Americas (7pm ET/ 6 CT), and the comedic murder-mystery Grosse Pointe Garden Society starring AnnSophia Robb, Melissa Fumero, and more.
The original Suits – which focused on a high-powered New York law firm and its ensemble of sharply-attired, sharp-minded lawyers – became a syndicated smash when it was added to Netflix in 2023. Unsurprisingly, Suits LA immediately became one of the most-anticipated shows on NBC’s schedule when it was announced last Summer. With its Tinseltown setting, the new series is largely centered on entertainment law, setting up guest spots for actors like Brian Baumgartner of The Office and the late John Amos to play themselves. But from a story standpoint, the new series is surprisingly twisty, so much so that it’s difficult to get into plot details around the first few episodes without spoiling them.
Instead, let’s turn our focus to the well-dressed cast. Here’s your first look at Suits LA ahead of its premiere Sunday, Feb. 23 at 9pm ET/ 8pm CT on NBC. Not a DISH subscriber? Follow this link to find the best offer and subscribe to DISH today!
Who is in the main cast of Suits LA?

Stephen Amell as Ted Black
The self-described “best attorney in the country,” Ted Black heads up the firm and isn’t afraid to bend the rules to keep his clients happy and his winning streak alive. But as we quickly learn, he has a dark personal and family history from his days as a federal prosecutor in New York. As Ted faces a new set of crises, his unflappable confidence begins to show cracks, which his enemies are all too eager to exploit.
Amell is best-known to audiences as the title character in the long-running superhero series Arrow, but he was also excellent in the under-appreciated Starz wrestling drama Heels.

As the series opens, Erica is competing with Rick for a coveted role at the firm. But she’s hiding a dark secret that could upend her entire career: She knows surprisingly little about the shows and movies her clients star in (she’s never even seen Forrest Gump!).
Lex Scott Davis has appeared in projects including the recent Amazon Prime Video feature Ricky Stanicky with Zach Efron and John Cena, as well as Superfly, The First Purge, and the Lifetime movie Unbreak My Heart, in which she played music icon Toni Braxton.

Josh McDermitt as Stuart Lane
Stuart Lane and Ted Black have a long and complicated history that is slowly (but not fully) explained over the show’s first three episodes. It seems that a lot of Suits LA will focus on the relationship between these two characters, both of whom are rendered with complexities and nuance.
Josh McDermitt is well-known for his role as Eugene Porter on 128 episodes of The Walking Dead. He’s also appeared on iconic shows like Twin Peaks and Mad Men and played political pundit Glenn Beck on the limited SHOWTIME series The Loudest Voice.

With Rick and Erica jockeying for a promotion, he’ll have to make some ruthless decisions if he wants to get ahead. The question is: Will Rick’s ambition trump his loyalties and does he have the constitution to make it in the cutthroat world of high-powered entertainment lawyers?
Bryan Greenberg has been a recognizable face in film and TV for decades, from shows like One Tree Hill, The Mindy Project, and HBO’s How To Make It in America to films like Friends With Benefits and You People.
