Suits Star Rick Hoffman Returning as Louis Litt on NBC Spinoff

Rick Hoffman is bringing some Louis Litt energy to Suits LA.

The actor, who starred in all nine seasons of the original USA Network drama, will reprise his role in an episode of the NBC offshoot, TVLine has confirmed.

Suits LA': Rick Hoffman Returning as Louis Litt on NBC Spinoff

Hoffman is expected to appear in just one episode, but the door is open for him to return if the series is renewed for Season 2, according to our sister site Deadline, which first reported the news. He will be the second cast member from the OG Suits to grace the spinoff: As previously announced, Gabriel Macht has booked a three-episode arc as charming prosecutor-turned-corporate lawyer Harvey Specter. Hoffman and Macht’s episodes will not overlap, per Deadline.

Suits and Suits LA creator Aaron Korsh recently told TVLine that Macht is just the beginning when it comes familiar faces on the new show.

“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. I’m not going to say at what level,” Korsh revealed.

Korsh added that his goal is to have any cast members from the USA Network drama — which also starred Patrick J. Adams, Meghan Markle, Gina Torres and Sarah Rafferty, among others — “pop up, as organically as possible, and not flood the show with a parade of old Suits characters.”

“I know that’s what fans want, but I feel like if it’s just a parade of old Suits characters, it would sort of harm the new franchise,” Korsh continued, “and I don’t think it would do a lot of favors to the old franchise either.”

As for Harvey’s upcoming appearance, he will be seen in the flashback timeline before he, eventually, pops up in the present and, hopefully, reconnects with Stephen Amell’s character, entertainment lawyer Ted Black.

“Ted was a prosecutor in New York at the time that Harvey was working in New York, so they, clearly, would’ve known each other,” Korsh shared. “Now, they didn’t work in the same office. Ted was a U.S. Attorney, but Harvey was in the District Attorney’s office. So what I came up with was they both played in this prosecutors’ league baseball team.”
