Suits was a legal drama that left viewers wanting more. To the point were there has been two spin-offs since the show ended. However, neither have been successful.

Suits Show Cast

April 1st, 2025-As outlined in The Guardian, the original series ran from 2011 until 2019. Part of its appeal was that it was a low-stakes, funny drama about lawyers.

It even had Megan Markle playing a paralegal before she became royalty. In addition, the show resurfaced in popularity when it was added to Netflix in 2023. Despite ending years ago, the series continues to be a staple in serialized dramas.

Suits Spin Off

Television spinoffs have a similar reputation to movie sequels. Typically, it’s hard to live up to the hype of the original. Moreover, they are an easy way to profit off the popularity of the original project. However, critics and audiences have weighed in, and it appears as though Suits LA doesn’t seem to live up to the original Suits hype.

The 2025 spinoff follows a different group of lawyers in a different location. Additionally, original series creator Aaron Korsh returns as a creator and writer. The new series is about federal prosecutor Ted Black, played by Stephen Amell, who experiences a series of unfortunate events that eventually lead to him to defending a murder suspect.

The series does have potential with a similar creative team at the helm. However, most critics and fans are in agreement that while the set-up is similar, it lacks the wit and character that made the original so appealing. Even on its own merit, critics are in agreement that the characters are allegedly boring and the plot is clumsy.
