NBC has officially given the green light to expand acclaimed legal drama ‘Suits’ with a new spinoff series titled ‘Suits: LA,’ along with murder mystery ‘Gross Pointe Garden Society,’ which is a key addition to the network’s upcoming lineup.
Following the success of the original ‘Suits’, which gained popularity as a streaming hit, NBC’s decision to order ‘Suits: LA’ underscores the continued interest in the franchise, according to the report. The Hollywood Reporter.
Created by original series director Aaron Korsh, ‘Suits: LA’ is set in Los Angeles and features a new storyline different from its New York-based predecessor. The spinoff stars Stephen Amell (‘Arrow’, ‘Heels’) as Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor who relocates to Los Angeles to lead a struggling law firm. The series promises to trace Ted’s journey as he faces professional challenges and juggles personal relationships amid a backdrop of legal drama.
The series stars Josh McDermitt, Lex Scott Davis, and Bryan Greenberg, while Victoria Mahoney directed the pilot episode. Commenting on the expansion of the ‘Suits’ universe, creator Aaron Korsh expressed his excitement for exploring new dimensions within the legal drama genre while retaining the essence that made the original series successful.
In addition to ‘Suits: LA,’ NBC has also picked up ‘Gross Pointe Garden Society,’ a gripping murder mystery created by Jenna Bans and Bill Krebs, best known for their work on ‘Good Girls.’ The series follows four members of a suburban garden club who become entangled in unexpected crime and intrigue while living their ordinary lives. The diverse cast includes Melissa Fumero, AnnaSophia Robb, Ben Rappaport, Matthew Davis, Alexander Hodge, Aja Naomi King, Nancy Travis, and Felix Avitia, while Maggie Kiley directed the pilot.
“Suits: LA” and “Grosse Pointe Garden Society” both received pilot orders earlier this year and were filmed during the spring, with NBC aiming to potentially debut them in the second half of the 2024-25 television season.
