Another “Suits” fan-favorite will be making a trip to its Los Angeles-based spinoff.
Rick Hoffman, who played the hilarious and cunning Louis Litt on the USA Network legal drama, is set to reprise the role on “Suits LA” in one episode, TheWrap has learned. The actor might appear in more episodes in the future, should the NBC drama series receive a Season 2 renewal.
Hoffman’s Litt reprise marks the second original series character to jump over to the West Coast. Gabriel Macht’s Harvey Specter is set for a three-episode recurring role in Season 1, which will kick off later in the season.
“Suits LA” stars Stephen Amell as Ted Black, a high-powered attorney turned agent who takes on some of Hollywood’s biggest cases — from negotiating contracts for Hollywood big wigs to defending clients on murder charges. The show also stars Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt and Bryan Greenberg.
The show, which premiered Sunday , Feb. 23, scored 4.7 million viewers across all platforms, according to Nielsen live-plus-three-day numbers. “Suits LA” grew 87% in total viewers and 213% in the key broadcast demo among adults 18-49 when compared to same-day viewing. Episode 3 is set to air Sunday night alongside new shows “The Americas” and “Grosse Pointe Garden Society.”
“Suits LA” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock.
Deadline first reported the news of Hoffman’s casting.
