According to official reports, there is no guarantee that any original cast members will appear in the Suits spinoff set in Los Angeles. However, the possibility of appearances by original cast members has not been ruled out completely. At the 2024 Golden Globes, Patrick J. Adams mentioned that he would be ready to return if he received a call, and he entertained the idea of Meghan Markle reprising her role, although there has been no official confirmation from the team or the Duchess herself.

Regarding the rest of the cast, Stephen Amell will play Ted Black, Josh McDermitt will portray Stuart Lane, Troy Winbush stars as Kevin and Lex Scott Davis will play Erica Rollins. According to Deadline and TVLine's reports, Winbush will reportedly appear in the pilot as a guest star and other guest stars include Victoria Justice, John Amos, Kevin Weisman, and Alice Lee.

Suits L.A. reportedly unfolds within the same timeframe as the parent series, focusing on a cadre of equally influential lawyers. However, unlike its predecessor, the spinoff does not center on a current character's secret but delves into the backstory of a different lawyer. Penned by Aaron Korsh, the series follows Ted Black, a former New York federal prosecutor who has rebranded himself by representing high-profile clients from the other side of the courtroom.

NBC has green-lit the pilot, and filming is currently in progress. While an official release date for the series has yet to be announced, Suits L.A. could potentially debut during either the 2024-2025 or extend to the 2025-2026 season. Although NBC has not confirmed the platform for the show's airing, given its association with the network, Peacock is the likely streaming host. Nonetheless, fans must stay tuned as further details may emerge.
