The Suits franchise continues with a new spinoff called Suits L.A.
Suits L.A. will introduce fresh characters portrayed by Stephen Amell, Josh McDermitt, and Lex Scott Davis. Despite being set in a new location, the spinoff takes place in the same universe as the original series.
Suits aired for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019 and gained even more popularity when it was added to Netflix in June 2023. The series followed the story of Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Adams), a college dropout who managed to secure a job at a prestigious New York City law firm despite not passing the LSAT.
After the success of Suits, a spinoff series called Pearson was ordered by the network. Starring Gina Torres as Jessica Pearson, the show only lasted for one season before it was canceled in 2019.
