‘Suits LA’: Gabriel Macht Returning as Harvey Specter in NBC Spinoff
Suits LA will welcome a familiar face into the fold as Gabriel Macht is officially set to reprise his role as lawyer Harvey Specter in the NBC spinoff.
As fans will recall, Macht originated the role on USA Network‘s original drama Suits which aired for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019. According to Deadline, Macht will appear in a recurring capacity.
The outlet reported that Macht is anticipated to reprise his role for a three-episode arc in the Los Angeles-based spinoff. Suits, as viewers will recall, was set in New York City but primarily filmed in Toronto. Suits LA‘s series premiere is fast approaching as NBC recently unveiled the show will debut on Sunday, February 23, 2025.

Macht further teased his return to the role on Instagram, where he posted a video of himself suiting up. “When an old friend is in need…it’s time to take care of things and make those very ‘things’ right,” the actor captioned the video. Watch it, above.
When it comes to the inclusion of Specter, it makes sense as Suits LA follows Ted Black (Stephen Amell), a fellow former prosecutor from New York. Whether or not there are ties between Specter and Black remains to be seen, but it’s exciting to consider the possibility of Specter crossing paths with the newest lead of the Suits franchise.
In addition to Amell, Suits LA also features Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt, and Bryan Greenberg. As fans of the original series will recall, Specter was last seen in the series finale, leaving his career as a corporate lawyer alongside wife Donna (Sarah Rafferty) as they moved to Seattle to join Mike Ross’ (Patrick J. Adams) legal clinic.
Stay tuned for more on Macht’s return as Harvey Specter as we approach Suits LA‘s premiere and let us know who you hope to see back in the Suits world in the comments section.

Anxiously awaiting Suits LA as I watched the original Suits when the attorneys were in New York City. That was a great show and I enjoyed it very much and hope this Suits will be just as entertaining. I hope many of the originals will join this show also as they did a very good job portraying their characters in the original program. I hope Gabriel Macht will stay around longer than just 3 episodes as he made the original show.such a great success. Would like to see Donna, Mike and several of the others also.

I can't wait for the new Suits to air.
I watched the original from day one and loved it! Hopefully the new show will do it justice. They have big shoes to fill!!!
Let's please not forget Rick Hoffman who was so great if they are bringing back some of the series regulars.

Gabriel and Patrick were the dynamics of the whole show! I hope the new series gets them both back !

Harvey was the reason I watched the show and Donna was also a plus. Could not stand Patrick Adams and moreso as his arrogance grew as time went on. I don't plan to watch the new version.

It is a character — not unrealistic. I try to assess how an actor develops the character and plays it. Hope you will reconsider.
