Gabriel Macht, the star of the original Suits series is reportedly set to return for its upcoming LA spin-off.
Per a Deadline report, Macht – who famously played Harvey Specter in the original NBC legal drama – will seemingly reprise his beloved role for a three-episode arc of Suits LA‘s debut season.
A rep for NBC declined to comment when Deadline reached out.
Suits LA is due to premiere on NBC on February 23, 2025. The series was first green lit in 2023 after the short-lived Pearson spin-off aired in 2019.
The original Suits aired from 2011 to 2019 and follows the exploits of Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) and Harvey Specter (Macht) at a fictional corporate law firm in New York City.
In June this year, Adams expressed his interest in turning the hit law series into a film. He revealed that series creator Korsh was seemingly interested in a potential film. “It’s definitely something he’s interested in doing, in trying to get the band back together. So it depends on a million things if that can happen, but is it possible? I think it is possible,” he said.
Adams then said that he would be keen on a film, while cast mate Dulé Hill also expressed his interest in reprising his role.
Suits LA will include new characters and a fresh setting. Unlike numerous shows now getting prequel or sequel series, Suits LA will be neither – it will be an entirely new story set in the world of Suits.
Suits LA will star Stephen Amell, Josh McDermitt, Lex Scott David, Bryan Greenberg and more.
