‘Suits LA’ is a different show than ‘Suits’ but the two definitely have some similarities between them
Suits and Suits LA might have the same premise, but they are drastically different shows at their core. That being said, there are some similarities between the two.
The spinoff series — which premiered on Sunday, February 23 — introduced fans to Stephen Amell’s Ted Black, a hotshot lawyer who has his own firm in Los Angeles and, apparently, some secrets that have yet to be revealed.
Bryan Greenberg also stars as Rick Dodsen, who appears to be Amell’s right-hand man at first glance. However, a little deeper into the premiere, a (spoiler alert) betrayal reveals that Lex Scott Davis, playing the role of Erica Rollins, is No. 2 in the firm.
Sunday’s episode also revealed that, before relocating to L.A., Amell’s character had a law career in New York City. This, coincidentally, is where one major Suits connection comes in, by the name of Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht).
“You’ll notice behind my desk that there’s a picture of a young Ted Black with what can only be a young Harvey Specter so there’s clearly a history between the characters,” Amell teased to Entertainment Weekly in December 2024. “We came up together in the D.A.’s office.”
While Macht isn’t reprising his role as Harvey just yet, there’s something to look forward to.
