Suits: L.A. shares first look at Gabriel Macht's Harvey Specter in new look 

NBC’s much-awaited show Suits: L.A. has given fans their first glimpse of Gabriel Macht returning as Harvey Specter. Macht, who starred in the original Suits for nine seasons, comes back for a short three-episode appearance to play the charming lawyer once again.

A new 30-second teaser shows Harvey’s strong bond with the show’s main character, Ted Black (played by Stephen Amell), now a successful lawyer in Los Angeles, who has to deal with a big problem that could harm his law firm. Ted calls Harvey the only person “cockier” than himself. The trailer also includes a sentimental framed photo of the characters from their younger days in New York.

Macht posted on Instagram, saying:

“When an old friend is in need… it’s time to take care of things and make those very ‘things’ right.”

Suits: L.A., will start on February 23, 2025, on NBC, and it’s being led by Aaron Korsh, who created the original series. With Macht’s return creating a lot of buzz, fans can look forward to the moments that made Suits popular worldwide.

What's known about Harvey Specter’s role in Suits: L.A.

Gabriel Macht is back as Harvey Specter on Suits, and fans are excited. Not much is known yet, but the spinoff’s summary suggests Harvey will help his old friend Ted Black during a crucial time.

The release of Suits: L.A. happens as the original show is becoming popular again, especially after it started streaming on Netflix and Peacock in 2023.
