“Suits” became the most streamed show during the pandemic. According to TheWrap it racked up 57.7 billion minutes in 2023, beating out “NCIS,” “The Office” and “Friends.”
As TikTok users took to the popular app to do “Suits” parodies, it seemed like the show and its characters were a much-needed escape during a challenging time.
NBC has listened to the fans, both new and old, and has ordered a spinoff called “Suits: L.A.” However, there’s a catch.
None of the original characters or storylines will be included.
According to the Vulture, the spinoff will feature a New York federal prosecutor, “Ted Black, who “reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles.”
For fans who crave more incite into Harvey Spector and Donna, if Louis Litt finally found love, and what Jessica Pearson is doing in Chicago, it looks like the series will leave the past in the past and move on with a new crowd of interesting characters and backstories.
“Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives,” an NBC rep told E! News. “All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved.”
The cast and writers have yet to be announced, but fans of the original series can rest easy knowing original creator Aaron Korsh is on board with the new series, along with Doug Liman, who’s known for “Mr & Mrs. Smith,” and “The Bourne Identity.”
