LA’ moves filming from Vancouver to Los Angeles

Production on “Suits: LA” has begun in, you guessed it, Los Angeles.

The spinoff series “Suits” has moved filming locations from Vancouver, where the NBC procedural series first shot its pilot, to Los Angeles. Production on the new series, starring Stephen Amell (“Arrow,” “Heels”) as a former federal prosecutor whose clientele changes when he moves to the West Coast.

The official logline reads: “Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself as a representative of the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point and to survive he must embrace a role he has treated with disdain his entire career. Ted is surrounded by a terrific cast of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other as they cannot help but intertwine their personal and professional lives.”

After “Suits” dominated streaming viewership last summer, “Suits: LA” received a pilot order in February, which aired on NBC in June. In July, the network announced it would move forward with the spinoff, giving “Suits: LA” a series order alongside “Grosse Pointe Garden Society.”

In addition to Amell, “Suits: LA” also stars Josh McDermitt (“The Walking Dead”), Lex Scott Davis (“Ricky Stanicky”) and Bryan Greenberg (“How to Make It in America,” “Bride Wars”).

Hailing from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Hypnotic, “Suits” creator Aaron Korsh is the creator, writer and executive producer of “Suits: LA,” while “Suits” EPs David Bartis, Doug Liman and Gene Klein also return to executive produce the spinoff series. “Yelling to the Sky” director Victoria Mahoney directed and produced the pilot.

NBC has already wrapped up its fall schedule, so “Suits: LA” will likely debut in early 2025 with a midseason premiere, NBCUniversal programming president Jeff Bader told TheWrap in May.

Variety magazine was the first to report the news.
