Suits LA Cancelled At NBC After One Season

NBC is shutting the doors on Suits LA's West Coast office: The Stephen Amell-led spinoff has been cancelled after just one season, TVLine has confirmed.

Season to date, Suits LA is averaging just 2.35 million total viewers (with delayed playback). Out of the 11 dramas that NBC has aired this TV season, it outdraws only fellow freshman Grosse Pointe Garden Society in total audience.

Set within the world of the original USA Network drama that starred Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams, among others, Suits LA follows a brand new character, Ted Black (played by Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York who joined forces 15 years ago with his old buddy, Stuart Lane (Josh McDermitt), to build an L.A. law firm that specializes in criminal and entertainment law. But in the series premiere, Stuart pulled the rug out from underneath Ted by cutting him out of a merger and taking several of their employees and clients with him to his new gig (working alongside Ted's ex-girlfriend, Samantha).

The series-regular cast also features Lex Scott Davis as lawyer Erica Rollins, who was promoted to head of entertainment after the split, and Bryan Greenberg as lawyer Rick Dodson, Ted's protégé in the entertainment division who went to work for Stuart's new firm.

Several Suits alums appeared on the series, with Gabriel Macht reprising his role as Harvey Specter in a three-episode arc that showcased Harvey and Ted's friendship, while also revealing that Harvey and wife Donna have a son! Other vets visiting the show include Rick Hoffman (as Louis Litt) and David Costabile (as Daniel Hardman).

Suits LA's Season 1 finale, which will now have to serve as a series finale, airs Sunday, May 18 at 9/8c.
