Macht played Harvey Specter across all nine seasons of Suits, cementing the character as one of TV’s most beloved legal minds.

The spin-off will see Harvey returning to the courtroom — this time in Los Angeles — where he’ll cross paths with Ted Black (Stephen Amell), a former New York prosecutor now leading a high-powered L.A. law firm.

Fans are already buzzing with excitement after Macht teased his return on Instagram. In a video accompanied by the Suits theme song, he captioned: “When an old friend is in need … it’s time to take care of things and make those very ‘things’ right.”

'Suits' star teases return to upcoming spin-off

Harvey’s return comes as Suits enjoys a massive resurgence. The original series, which concluded in 2019, broke streaming records in 2023, racking up a staggering 57.7 billion viewing minutes on Netflix.

This renewed popularity helped pave the way for the spin-off, premiering February 23 2025 on NBC, and has reignited interest in the show’s legacy.

While details about Harvey’s role remain under wraps, the spin-off promises plenty of intrigue.

Created by Aaron Korsh, Suits: LA centres on Ted Black, a lawyer who must navigate a crisis within his firm while grappling with the personal and professional fallout of his past.

The series also stars Josh McDermitt, Lex Scott Davis, and Bryan Greenberg.

And now for the twist: Macht’s appearance will be limited to a three-episode guest arc. While some fans may be hoping for a full-time return, these episodes promise to deliver the Harvey Specter charm we’ve all been missing.

The countdown to February 23 is on — get ready to head back to the world of power plays, courtroom drama, and Harvey’s signature one-liners.

Australians will be able to watch Harvey Specter when Suits: LA airs locally on 7plus next year.
