'Suits LA': Rick Hoffman to return as Louis Litt
What's the story
Rick Hoffman, the American actor famous for playing Louis Litt in the hit legal drama Suits, will reprise his role in the upcoming spin-off series Suits LA.
The 54-year-old actor will appear as a guest in this new series, an appearance that is currently slated for just one episode.
However, according to Deadline Hollywood, there are chances of him returning if the show is renewed for a second season.
Potential returns
'Suits LA' may feature more original cast members
Suits creator Aaron Korsh has teased the return of other familiar faces from the original series in Suits LA.
He said, "Harvey is not the only Suits original character that we're going to see this season. There will be at least one other original Suits character."
However, there's no official word on if Sarah Rafferty, Gina Torres, or Meghan Markle might also reprise their roles.
Celebrity appearances
'Suits LA' could feature celebrity cameos
Along with former Suits actors, Korsh has also hinted that the spin-off series could see high-profile celebrity cameos.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in December, he jokingly extended an open invitation to Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington for a cameo role.
The spin-off series is set in a law firm catering to Hollywood's elite, which further fuels speculation about potential celebrity appearances.
Series success
'Suits' popularity surge and 'Suits LA' premiere
The original Suits series, which aired on USA Network from 2011-2019, became immensely popular after its release on Netflix. In 2023, it was reported as the most-streamed series of the year in the US, with audiences watching an astonishing 57.7 billion minutes of the show.
The spin-off Suits LA premiered on February 23 and marks a new chapter for this beloved franchise.
Character connections
'Suits LA' characters and Hoffman's anticipated return
The characters of Suits LA have no connection with those from the original show, except for lead lawyer Ted Black, who is reportedly friends with Harvey Specter.
Gabriel Macht has already reprised his iconic role as Specter in episodes of Suits LA.
It remains unclear how Hoffman's character Litt will fit into the new storyline, but fans are eagerly awaiting his appearance.
