Suits: LA spin-off shifts focus to entertainment law with new cast and delayed release

The new spin-off "Suits: LA" will shift the franchise from New York to Los Angeles, focusing on entertainment and criminal law. It stars Stephen Amell as Ted Black, a former prosecutor, and Josh McDermitt as Stuart Lane. Filming began in Vancouver but moved to Los Angeles this summer. The pilot features John Amos as himself, seeking legal counsel from Ted's firm. Originally set for 2024, the release is now expected in Fall 2025 due to production changes. The show aims to capitalize on California's tax incentives for filming.
