Hollywood fans are in for a major surprise! Gabriel Macht is officially returning to the world of Suits in the upcoming spin-off Suits: LA, despite previously expressing that he had moved on from his iconic role as Harvey Specter.
In a recent interview, the 52-year-old actor admitted he initially had no intention of reprising his role. “I thought we spent enough time with Harvey. His story was wrapped up nicely, and I was ready to explore other things,” Macht shared.
However, after multiple conversations with series creator Aaron Korsh and the team behind Suits: LA, the actor had a change of heart. “The new show brings a fresh take to the Suits universe, and when I saw the direction they were taking, I felt like Harvey still had unfinished business,” he explained.
Sources close to the production revealed that Macht’s involvement will be more than just a cameo. While Suits: LA will introduce new characters and a brand-new law firm in Los Angeles, Harvey Specter’s presence will play a pivotal role in connecting the two worlds.
Macht also hinted that fans will get to see a different side of Harvey. “He’s evolved. Time has passed, and life has changed for him. But at his core, he’s still the same sharp, confident closer that fans love,” the actor teased.
This unexpected return has reignited excitement among Suits enthusiasts, who have been craving more ever since the original series ended in 2019. The resurgence of Suits on Netflix last year, where it became one of the most-watched shows on the platform, played a significant role in proving that the demand for the franchise is stronger than ever.
With Suits: LA now in development and Gabriel Macht officially back in the mix, fans can’t wait to see what’s next. Will other original cast members return as well? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure—Harvey Specter is back, and he means business!
