Arrow star Stephen Amell will lead the cast of NBC’s Suits spinoff, Suits: LA. Amell, most recently seen playing a small town wrestling star in Heels, will star as a former federal prosecutor from New York who swaps coasts and sets up shop in Los Angeles.
NBC ordered a pilot episode of the project earlier this month and confirmed filming is expected to get underway in Vancouver in late March 2024.
Aaron Korsh, creator of Suits, is onboard as writer and executive producer. Suits executive producers David Bartis and Doug Liman are also back for the Suits spinoff. Victoria Mahoney is directing the pilot and will executive produce.
“Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career,” reads NBC’s synopsis. “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. All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved.”
