Gabriel Macht returns as Harvey Specter in Suits: L.A., joining Ted Black to navigate complex legal issues.

NBC’s much-anticipated Suits: L.A. has unveiled a first look at Gabriel Macht’s return as Harvey Specter, setting the stage for his short three-episode arc. Macht, who became an iconic character during Suits’ original nine-season run, will reprise his role in a new chapter alongside Stephen Amell's character, Ted Black. The new teaser hints at their strong bond, as Ted, a successful lawyer in Los Angeles, seeks Harvey’s expertise during a crucial time for his struggling law firm.

In the 30-second teaser, Ted refers to Harvey as the “only person cockier” than him, and viewers catch glimpses of a nostalgic framed photo from their New York days. Macht, reflecting on the role, 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.”

The spinoff, which debuts on February 23, 2025, centers around Ted, a former federal prosecutor who now faces significant challenges as a law firm owner. Harvey’s reappearance will serve as a pivotal moment in Ted’s journey, linking their shared history from New York to the present-day legal battles in Los Angeles. The dynamic between Ted and Harvey promises to bring back the witty repartee and high-stakes decisions that defined the original Suits.

As Suits’ popularity resurges with streaming success on Netflix and Peacock, Suits: L.A. is poised to captivate both new fans and long-time followers. While the show will explore personal and professional conflicts, it also delves into the evolving nature of loyalty, making amends, and the impact of past choices. The series maintains the clever dialogues and emotional moments that made Suits a worldwide sensation.

With the first episode airing on NBC at 9/8c and available on Peacock the following day, fans won’t want to miss the return of Harvey Specter.
