Los Angeles-Based Spin-Off of SUITS Promises "Same Energy and Good Looking People" as Original Series

Suits creator Aaron Korsh is back at work creating the new spin-off law drama series that is based in Los Angeles. A few new details have been released about the upcoming series via the president of Universal International Studios and UCP Beatrice Springborn. She announced the new show will be set “in the same timeframe” as the flagship series. She also promised it will “have the same energy and good looking people that the original did.”

“We are working on it right now,” Springborn told the audience at U.K. industry conference Content London, referring to the show as Suits L.A.. “It’s so fun and happy.” (A source told Variety that Suits L.A. is not the show’s official title).

Springborn, who joined Universal in 2020 from Hulu, explained that returning series like Suits were attractive to buyers. “A lot of streamers are looking for ongoing series, things that feel easy to watch,” she said. “Our show Suits is incredibly huge on Netflix.”

“It is amazing looking people in great clothes but at the core of it you can’t have a show that’s successful with just that,” Springborn expanded. “It has to have great storytelling and great character work. So how do you do something that can be ongoing, have a gloss to it and be a continuing series that everyone wants?”

Suits was a fantastic series. With the original creator on board, I look forward to seeing what this follow up series has in store. Will you be tuning in to watch?
