Suits LA is about to be lit(t).
Rick Hoffman, who played Louis Litt in the original Suits series, is set to reprise his role for one episode of the NBC spinoff, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. He could also appear in more episodes if Suits LA is renewed for a second season.
Suits LA follows Ted Black (Stephen Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York who has reinvented himself by representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. However, when his firm reaches a crisis point, he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career in order to survive. The spinoff, which has currently aired two episodes, also stars Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt and Bryan Greenberg.
Hoffman isn’t the first original castmember to return for the spinoff as it was previously announced that Gabriel Macht‘s Harvey Specter would also be making an appearance. Creator Aaron Korsh — who was behind both projects — told THR at the Los Angeles premiere last month that bringing Macht back “seemed like a perfect fit” because “Ted was a prosecutor in New York, Harvey was a prosecutor in New York.”
As for having other Suits castmembers return, Korsh added that he “wanted to make sure it was an organic bringing people in, not just a parade of old characters.” However, “I would love to have them all on, [but] I don’t want to have them all on one after the other because I think it harms the original and the new show to do that. So we’re just going to see how it goes.”
While no other original Suits stars have been confirmed to return, there are definitely some more fan-favorites that some viewers would love to see again, including Patrick J. Adams, Meghan Markle, Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres.
Deadline was first to report the news of Hoffman’s return.
