Back to the Specter: Gabriel Macht Reprises Harvey in 'Suits: LA' Arc

In a surprise move, Gabriel Macht, the beloved actor who played the iconic character of Harvey Specter on the hit TV series "Suits," will be reprising his role in a three-episode arc for the upcoming NBC spinoff, "Suits: LA". The show, set to premiere on February 23, follows the story of Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor who moves to Los Angeles to start a law firm.

Macht's return is a welcomed addition to the show, which centers around a character with a similar background to Harvey Specter. The actor had taken a break from acting after the original series ended in 2019 to focus on his family, but recently resurfaced with a T-Mobile commercial and a Golden Globes appearance. The chance to revisit his iconic character is an opportunity to ease back into the role and test the waters before committing to a full-time return.

Creator Aaron Korsh has expressed his excitement about having Macht on board, stating that negotiations took a long time, but ultimately the payoff was worth it. The limited appearances by Macht will allow him to touch base with his iconic character without fully committing to the spinoff. The teaser trailer, released earlier, has brought back major nostalgia for the original series, featuring stars Josh McDermitt and Lex Scott Davis in stylishly tailored suits, showcasing the Los Angeles setting.

Gabriel Macht's return to the world of "Suits" is a treat for fans of the original series, and the teaser trailer has already generated a buzz around the upcoming premiere. As the premiere date of February 23 draws near, fans can look forward to revisiting the world of "Suits" and experiencing the high-stakes world of law with a new spin.
