Stephen Amell, well known for his portrayal as Oliver Queen in Arrow, will trade vigilante bows for high-powered lawsuits in Suits: LA, an upcoming NBC spinoff.

Amell has already been cast in the pilot as Ted Black, a former New York federal prosecutor who reinvents himself in the flashy, ruthless world of Los Angeles law.

The series, which will begin production in March 2024, offers a new take on the Suits model, delving into the City of Angels’ distinctive legal scene and high-stakes power machinations.

Fans are excited to see Amell play a guy far different from his heroic days. While details about the plot and supporting actors are unknown, the possibility of Amell’s charisma and acting abilities colliding with the keen wit and fast-paced world of Suits has sparked interest.

Aaron Korsh, the creator of Suits, will continue to write and executive produce the spinoff, ensuring that the beloved series’ DNA is carried forward.

However, it is unclear whether known faces from the original USA Network show, which aired from 2011 to 2019, will make cameo appearances.

While Meghan Markle’s comeback as Rachel Zane appears doubtful due to her royal obligations, other actors, such as Patrick J. Adams (Mike Ross) and Gabriel Macht (Harvey Spectre), have shown willingness to reprise their roles if called upon.

The Suits franchise has had a rebirth in popularity thanks to streaming sites such as Netflix and Peacock, so this spinoff is a savvy move by NBC to capitalize on the increasing enthusiasm.

Suits: LA’s ability to match the enchantment of the original series while establishing its own route in the legal drama environment remains to be seen.
