Suits LA is bringing back a beloved character!
On Thursday, March 6, NBC confirmed on its website that Rick Hoffman, 54, who played Louis Litt in the original series, is set to reprise his role in a forthcoming episode of the Suits spinoff that premiered in February.
Hoffman also confirmed the news by sharing a screenshot from Deadline‘s article about the announcement on Instagram. The outlet was the first to report the news.
“@iamsarahgrafferty is not only the main reason Suits lives, she took my photo for this. One for the good guys Raffles. #thegoodfight,” his caption read.

The announcement comes after Gabriel Macht, who played attorney Harvey Specter in the original series, confirmed in November 2024 that he would be reprising his role.
Just last month, show creator Aaron Korsh teased in an interview with Tvline that fans could expect more than one Suits star cameo on Suits LA.
“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,” he said.

Korsh told the outlet that his goal is to have original series stars like Patrick J. Adams and Meghan Markle “pop up, as organically as possible, and not flood the show with a parade of old Suits characters.”
He previously reminded fans on X, though, that Suits LA is different from its predecessor.
“It seems like people are all wishing it was the originals back. I expected this and can’t blame them. I can only hope they give #SuitsLA an open minded try. If they do, I really believe they will grow to love it,” Korsh wrote in a January post.

According to an official synopsis, Suits LA centers around Ted Black (Stephen Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York, who “has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles.”
To save his firm from a “crisis point,” he “must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career.”
“Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives. All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved,” the synopsis adds. Additional cast members include Bryan Greenberg, Lex Scott Davis and Josh McDermitt.
