The world of Suits is heading to the West Coast with Suits LA. This time, the towering buildings of New York are being replaced with sunny Los Angeles. Fans of the original series remember Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) as a powerful lawyer in New York. Now, a new legal mind, Ted Black (Stephen Amell), is ready to make his mark in LA.
Unlike Harvey, who worked with Wall Street’s elite, Ted focuses on a different kind of client—Hollywood’s biggest players. In a city filled with fame and ambition, betrayal is common, and Ted is the lawyer people turn to when things go wrong.
Suits LA is not a reboot but exists in the same world as the original show. It introduces a new law firm, fresh faces, and different challenges. Fans can expect the same sharp dialogue, high-stakes cases, and intense rivalries that made Suits a hit.

How Is ‘Suits LA’ Different from the Original?
While Suits focused on the fast-paced world of Pearson Hardman in New York, Suits LA shows Hollywood’s legal scene.
Here are some key differences:
- The original show was set in a corporate law firm dealing with Wall Street clients.
- Suits LA follows lawyers who handle high-profile entertainment cases.
- Instead of stock market deals and mergers, the cases in Suits LA involve celebrities, studios, and Hollywood executives.
- The West Coast setting brings a new energy, contrasting with the cold and sharp feel of New York.
Despite these differences, fans can still expect the sharp writing, bold characters, and high-stakes drama that made Suits a success.
Where Does ‘Suits LA’ Take Place?
The new law firm at the show’s centre is Black Lane, co-founded by Ted Black and Stuart Lane.
Unlike Pearson Hardman, which handled financial power plays, Black Lane specializes in entertainment law. The show will reveal the legal side of Hollywood, focusing on the complex deals, scandals, and lawsuits behind the glitz and glamour.
While agents, managers, and PR teams often handle celebrity careers, Suits LA focuses on the lawyers who keep the industry running.
Final Thoughts on ‘Suits LA’
Fans of Suits have plenty to look forward to. The show introduces new characters, fresh conflicts, and a completely different legal setting. With its blend of drama, ambition, and legal battles, Suits LA is set to be an exciting new chapter in the franchise.
