"Suits" fans are eager to see what's next for the franchise, especially in the wake of its massive streaming success. The first series ran for nine seasons and was set in the cutthroat legal world of New York. But things aren't exactly peachy and sunny for Stephen Amell's Ted Black in the upcoming spin-off.
An official logline for "Suits: LA" promises that Black's world is in chaos, and he's trying to save his career in a city known for backstabbing. "His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career," the logline reads. "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."
Fans will be pleased to know that the upcoming spin-off is set in the same timeframe as the original series, which opens up the possibility of crossovers. It remains to be seen if any of the OG alumni from "Suits" decide to do a little side quest to LA, though it certainly would be welcome. "Suits: LA" is ramping up production rapidly, as cameras are set to start rolling late next month. The pilot will be directed by Victoria Mahoney, whose previous credits include an episode of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Lovecraft Country." If execs are pleased with the pilot, "Suits: LA" could premiere later this year, marking a new chapter for the now expanding "Suits" saga.
