AnimeMania February 6 Share February 6 (edited) Suits LA Drama NBC February 23, 2025 at 9pm Suits LA is a Drama TV Series airing on February 23, 2025 on NBC at 9pm. Suits LA is not a direct sequel to the original 2011 Suits TV Series (9 seasons on USA Network), but will be set within the show's universe, so that characters from the original series can make an appearance/crossover, like Harvey Specter does. Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York, reinvents himself by opening (fifteen years earlier) the Black Lane Law Firm, with his buddy Stuart Lane, specializing in entertainment law, representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. (The Photo in the background is of Ted Black hanging out with Denzel Washington.) The Black Lane Law Firm's high profile client list includes: Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, and Leonardo DiCaprio. The Black Lane Law Firm is at a financial crisis point as the stellar people who work there are overstepping the boundaries of their personal and professional lives and might be placing their own self interests before the law firm's. Ted Black expands to firm's scope to criminal law (a role he has held in contempt his entire career) in order to dig themselves out of the hole. Events from the past, that caused Ted Black to leave behind everything and everyone he loved in New York, are slowly creeping back into his present. Matt Letscher as Mr. Black, Ted Black's Dad, powerful and emotionally unavailable, he rules through fear, intimidation and abuse. Carson A. Egan as Eddie Black, Ted Black's Brother, who is sweet, good-humored and nurturing. Ted seems to rely on Eddie’s loving presence even more than Eddie relies on him. Relies on Ted for support. Stephen Amell as Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York, now representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. Azita Ghanizada as Roslyn, Ted's loyal and straight-shooting secretary who's been with him through thick and thin. She serves as a steady hand and sounding board as Ted navigates a new set of professional circumstances. Josh McDermitt as Stuart Lane, an energetic, powerful, focused and self-absorbed friend of Ted Black's. They founded Black Lane Law, fifteen years ago, to specialize in entertainment law. Bryan Greenberg as Rick Dodsen is Ted Black's protege in the entertainment division. Rick is the new guy, determined to be promoted and to stay one step ahead of his rival, Erica Rollins. Lex Scott Davis as Erica Rollins is described as a savvy, ambitious, and strong-willed rising star who works for Amell's Ted Black. She's shrewd enough to test the loyalty of her associates only to admire some of them for not having any. Alice Lee as Leah is a young associate attorney at Black Lane Law who has been assigned to work with/for entertainment attorney Erica Rollins. Gabriel Macht as Harvey Specter, a successful and charismatic attorney that Ted Black knew when he was a New York District Attorney. Maggie Grace as Amanda Stevens, an independently wealthy pro bono lawyer who rents space at the Black Lane law firm and, "technically", doesn’t work for Ted, meaning the two are free to “potentially" explore the clear sparks going on between them. Rachelle Goulding as Samantha, a powerful entertainment lawyer in her own right who runs a new law firm that is competing with Black Lane for top-dog status in Los Angeles. Samantha also Ted Black's ex-girlfriend. Sofia Pernas as Elizabeth Smith, a powerhouse attorney in the District Attorney’s office who goes up against Ted in a high-profile murder trial. Kevin Weisman as Lester Thompson is a smart and powerful man who is used to getting his way – that is, until a murder charge forces him to have to listen to others to stay out of prison. Troy Winbush as Kevin is Ted Black's old friend and ex-partner, a former FBI agent, now a private detective. Rob Nagle as Greg Litvak Victoria Justice as as Dylan Pryor, a young, who's confident and ambitious movie star whose career is on the rise that Black Lane Law wishes to represent. Patton Oswalt as himself Brian Baumgartner as himself Enrico Colantoni as himself John Amos as himself (his last television role) Aleks Paunovic Incorporate this thread into the forum https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/144101-pilot-suits-la/?do=getNewComment Edited February 9 by AnimeMania Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151841-suits-la-in-the-media/
tv echo February 14 Share February 14 (edited) Stephen Amell on Reviving ‘Suits’ for LA Spinoff, Overcoming His ‘Short Fuse’ on ‘Arrow’ and Learning From His Controversial Strike Remarks By Emily Longeretta Feb 13, 2025 https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/stephen-amell-suits-la-spinoff-arrow-strike-1236304221/ Quote By fall, of course, entertainment executives were looking for the next “Suits,” something that could replicate the show’s comforting, low-stakes, addictive vibes. Korsh was ready with an idea. He’d pitched a series about Hollywood agents, not in the “Suits” universe, during the COVID pandemic. NBC passed at the time, then asked him to rework it into a “Suits” spinoff; in the new series, former New York prosecutor Ted Black leads an entertainment law firm, representing A-list clients on the West Coast. Korsh knew the key to “Suits” was its casting, especially finding the right lead — one who would compare to the original’s but could hold his own. Enter Stephen Amell. “All I can say about Stephen Amell is that I knew within 12 seconds of his audition that he was Ted Black,” says Korsh. “I was sure of it then, and having worked with him through six episodes, I’m even surer of it now.” * * * Stephen Amell isn’t unlike Ted Black. He’s confident, and he steps up to help those in need. Yet Ted has a complicated past, and the show’s pilot episode hints at the secrets he’s keeping, including what happened before he landed his fancy Hollywood job. Amell isn’t wearing a mask anymore, but Ted certainly is. * * * “Behind closed doors, he’s a scared little boy, and nobody — I mean nobody — knows it,” Amell says. “That’s not a sustainable way to live life. He’s not comfortable in his own skin.” Amell is still finding his footing, he says. He’s not used to a role that’s more cerebral than physical, one in which he’s not pulling a muscle or stepping aside for a stuntman. “The only muscle on my body that hurts from shooting this show is my brain,” he says. “You wouldn’t think that you’d be as tired from five heavy, dialogue-rich scenes as you would from a day of stunts, but you are.” The show’s tone is also challenging, requiring him to strike a balance between its dramatic and comedic elements. The original series found a way to achieve that: Slick, attractive characters delivered crisp legal jargon without coming off overly didactic. Or like a parody. “Where’s the line between ‘You’re dancing right on the edge’ and ‘This could be an “SNL” sketch’?” Amell says, pondering. “You have to play a character, but not play a caricature. How far do you push it?” * * * “It’s easier to yell at people and threaten their lives in a gravelly voice with a mask and a hood on than it is to subtly manipulate someone into doing what you want,” Amell says. “The hard, heavy lifting is threading a needle.” Edited February 14 by tv echo Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151841-suits-la-in-the-media/#findComment-8580660

Adams, Meghan Markle, Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty and Rick Hoffman, among others — “pop up, as organically as possible, and not flood the show with a parade of old Suits characters.” “I know that’s what fans want, but I feel like if it’s just a parade of old Suits characters, it would sort of harm the new franchise,” Korsh continues, “and I don’t think it would do a lot of favors to the old franchise either.” Edited February 27 by tv echo Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151841-suits-la-in-the-media/#findComment-8592928
