‘Suits LA’ Cancelled After One Season!!

The jury has deliberated, and the sentencing is now official — Suits LA will not return for a second season. With the final episode set for May 18, audiences can prepare to say goodbye to Ted Black (Stephen Amell) and the rest of the characters, as their stories will officially come to an end following the 10-episode debut season. Deadline broke the reveal which comes following the double early renewals of two of NBC’s other new kids on the block, Happy’s Place and St. Denis Medical, both of which had their fates unveiled earlier in the year. Today also saw the sentencing of Night Court and Lopez vs. Lopez, which were also cut from next year’s lineup.

Suits LA’s journey from speculation to reality picked up thanks to the arrival of the flagship series on Netflix, where it enjoyed a tidal wave of viewership numbers not just once but multiple times. The spin-off received a pilot order from the network and was quickly signed on for a full season, with a slew of new personalities introduced, including Amell’s leading man, Ted Black. Moving from one coast to the other, the law-centered series moved from New York City to Los Angeles, where audiences first meet Ted and his Black Lane Law firm. Catering to the rich and famous, the firm’s clientele live lavish lives and — sometimes — find themselves in impossible legal situations.

A few weeks ago, series regular Bryan Greenberg told fans that while he totally understood the comparisons between the original and the latest spin-off, they just needed a bit of time to get their bearings. Unfortunately, with an onslaught of ever-tanking Rotten Tomatoes scores, it seems like NBC isn’t interested in hearing more from the series.

In his comments to NDTV, the actor said,

“But you know, just give us some time. That’s all I’m asking of the audience. Let us settle in. The audience is starting to understand that we are doing something different. I think we, as actors, are starting to fall into our roles. I think the writers are doing the same. I think we’re finding it and it’s great.”

Meet the Team Behind ‘Suits: LA’

In addition to pack leader, Amell, the first season of Suits LA introduced audiences to a handful of new characters played by a lineup that includes Lex Scott Davis (The First Purge), Josh McDermitt (The Walking Dead), Troy Winbush (The Cosby Show), Maggie Grace (The Twilight Saga), Azita Ghanizada (We Broke Up), Alice Lee (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist) and more. But perhaps the most exciting ensemble member was the return of Suits star, Gabriel Macht as Harvey Specter, who has dipped in and out of the storyline during the first batch of episodes.
