NBC has given the green light for a pilot episode of the drama series “Suits: L.A.” The production is set to begin in late March in Vancouver. The pilot is a spin-off of popular USA Network legal drama Suits which wrapped up back in 2019 but has had a popular run on Netflix.

The show revolves around Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who has transformed himself into a lawyer representing powerful clients in Los Angeles. However, his firm is facing a crisis, and in order to survive, Ted must embrace a role that he had always despised throughout his career. As he navigates this challenging situation, Ted finds himself surrounded by a group of compelling characters who test their loyalties to both him and each other. Their personal and professional lives become intertwined as they confront the trials and tribulations of their work. Meanwhile, secrets from the past slowly unravel, leading Ted to make difficult decisions that force him to leave behind everything and everyone he once loved.

The series is produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group. The executive producers include Aaron Korsh as writer/executive producer, David Bartis and Doug Liman from Hypnotic as non-writing executive producers, and Gene Klein as an additional non-writing executive producer. The pilot episode will be directed by Victoria Mahoney.
