Josh Mcdermitt To Star In 'Suits: LA' Spinoff Series

Netflix

Actor Josh McDermitt, known for his role in 'The Walking Dead,' is set to join Steven Amell in NBC's upcoming 'Suits' spinoff, 'Suits: LA.' The new series follows Amell's character, Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor who establishes a law firm in Los Angeles, specializing in criminal and entertainment law.

The show's logline teases a narrative where Ted's firm faces a crisis, compelling him to embrace a role he previously disdained. Surrounded by a diverse cast of characters, including McDermitt's character Stuart Lane, who co-founded Black Lane Law, the series promises to explore the complexities of personal and professional relationships.

'Suits: LA' is the brainchild of Aaron Korsch, the creator of the original 'Suits' series that aired on USA Network from 2011 to 2019. The show garnered significant popularity when it began streaming in 2023, topping the Netflix charts for multiple weeks and accumulating over 45 billion minutes of viewership on Netflix and Peacock combined.

The spinoff is confirmed to exist within the same universe as its predecessor, offering fans a familiar yet fresh perspective on the legal drama genre. Executive producers David Bartis, Doug Liman, Gene Klein, and Victoria Mahoney are at the helm of 'Suits: LA,' with Mahoney also directing the pilot episode.

Prior to his role in 'The Walking Dead,' McDermitt portrayed Eugene Porter from Season 4 through Season 11. His addition to 'Suits: LA' brings a dynamic energy to the ensemble cast, promising an engaging viewing experience for audiences.

With a talented team behind the scenes and a compelling premise, 'Suits: LA' is poised to captivate viewers with its blend of legal intrigue and personal drama. Fans of McDermitt and Amell can look forward to their on-screen chemistry as they navigate the challenges of the legal world in the City of Angels.
