Suits LA brings the twisty world of law to the West Coast, and this fictional entertainment law firm has some big names backing it up. Arriving six years after the original series wrapped up, Suits has held its ground as one of the best legal dramas in recent memory.
With such high expectations, Suits LA was determined to carve out its own identity and they did. However, it still captures the magic that drew fans to the original. Given Suits’ recent surge in popularity, Suits LA is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited new shows of 2025, and the talented cast could very well be the spinoff’s biggest draw.
Are There Any Old Characters In Suits LA?
While the original series featured a close-knit ensemble cast with a rotating roster of clients, Suits LA expands its horizons with four main lawyers and a fantastic lineup of recurring characters. To answer the question, the show even brings back Gabriel Macht’s Harvey Spectre for a limited appearance, cleverly linking the spinoff to its predecessor without letting nostalgia overshadow its unique vibe.
Is Mike Ross There In Suits LA?
One of the main protagonists and a beloved character of the Suits, Mike Ross, is not a part of the original cast of Suits LA. However, we never know what the future has in store for the Suits fans.
Cast of Suits LA and Their Roles in the New Spinoff
Stephen Amell as Ted Black

Stephen Amell takes on the role of Ted Black, the lead character in Suits LA. As the head of the drama’s entertainment law firm, cleverly named Black-Lane Law, Ted is known as the closer for the firm. However, his past as a New York prosecutor adds layers of complexity to his character.
Ted shares a history with Harvey Specter from their days in New York, but his new life in LA is anything but simple, thanks to his previous choices. He sees himself as the top lawyer in the country, but his tendency to ignore protocol and a long list of damaged relationships often lands him in tricky situations.

Alexis Scott Davis takes on the role of Erica Rollins, a dedicated and ambitious lawyer at Black-Lane. Erica is all about her career and is eager to climb the corporate ladder, but her journey is a bit rocky due to her lack of knowledge about new media.
With most of the clients in Suits LA being actors—both real and fictional—Erica finds herself out of the loop when it comes to the latest movies and TV shows, which raises some eyebrows about her work. Even though she doesn’t keep up with the projects her clients are involved in, Erica is still sharp and on the lookout for a more challenging position.
Josh McDermitt as Stuart Lane

Josh McDermitt takes on the role of Stuart Lane, the second name partner at Suits LA’s Black-Lane Law. While Stuart Lane and Ted Black are definitely tight-knit business partners, they don’t quite match the iconic duo of Harvey and Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Adams). Their relationship is layered and complex, with a hint of mystery stemming from their pasts.
Even though Black is the face of the firm, Lane’s sharp skills in criminal law are bound to steal the spotlight in certain Suits LA cases. The firm may be filled with fresh talent, but it’s the rich history between Lane and Black that truly anchors the series.
Bryan Greenberg as Rick Dodsen

Bryan Greenberg takes on the role of Rick Dodsen, a pivotal player at the Black-Lane law firm. In Suits LA, Rick and Erica engage in a lighthearted rivalry, both vying for the same recognition and promotion within the firm.
Their dynamic as frenemies sets the stage for escalating conflict, but it also opens the door for both Rick and Erica to grow as characters, depending on how their competitive journey unfolds. While Erica’s ambition is razor-sharp, Rick might struggle to keep pace, as he doesn’t possess the same relentless drive that his colleagues do.
Maggie Grace as Amanda Stevens

Amanda is a pro bono lawyer who rents office space at the firm, so you can bet she’ll swing by every now and then to give Ted a bit of advice—or maybe a little constructive criticism if the situation calls for it.
As for Maggie, she’s recently made a name for herself in the Taken series and Fear the Walking Dead. But she is mostly remembered for her role as Shannon on the beloved ABC show, Lost. Let’s just hope her character doesn’t have to board any international flights anytime soon!
