Ahead of its series finale, the trailer forSuits LAepisode 13 refocuses the story on the West Coast lawyers. Monopolizing on the streaming success of the original series,Suitscreator Aaron Korsh began work on the California-based spinoff in late 2023. After years of budding anticipation,Suits LApremiered in February 2025, headed by Stephen Amell’s Ted Black. Josh McDermitt’s Stuart Lane, Lex Scott Davis’ Erica Rollins, and Bryan Greenberg’s Rick Dodsen helped complete theensemble cast ofSuits LA.
While the most memorable episodes of the spinoff’s first (and now last) season included cameos from original cast members Gabriel Macht (Harvey Specter) and Rick Hoffman (Louis Litt), the new trailer uploaded toYouTubeon August 14, 2025 revealstheSuits LA series finale will focus on Ted and the rest of the firm. Clips show Erica and Rick interacting, Stuart apparently reaching out to Kevin (Troy Winbush), and Ted in court with his ex-girlfriend, Samantha Railsback (Rachelle Goulding). Ted’s secretary, Roslyn (Azita Ghanizada), additionally warns her boss, ominously saying“He should scare you”before the trailer fades to black.
What This Means For Suits LA’s Series Finale
Ted Black Will Get The Last Word
WhileLouis Litt’s appearance inSuits LAepisode 12and Harvey Specter’s three-episode arc stood out for a reason, the spinoff was always set on forging its own path. Ted Black was meant to be a protagonist worth rooting for, and one who could theoretically even rival Specter in court. The celebrity guests and homages to the original series were successful at drawing attention, butthe final conflict will end whereSuits LAbegan: with Ted and his team.
By focusing on the West Coast firms, the ensemble cast will have the opportunity to find their own resolution inSuits LA’s series finale. Erica and Rick’s complicated relationship must find some sort of closure, Ted’s past with Samantha will likely be aired out, and unfinished storylines like Leah’s (Alice Lee) writing career will either be given a definitive ending or left unresolved permanently.Giving Ted one final case at least ensures theSuits LAfinale stands by its premiseand will bring the short series full circle.
Our Take On The Suits LA Finale
The West Coast Spinoff Could Have Been Special
Any series ending after one season is disappointing, butSuits LAcould have been a unique proceduralif it only had a clearer sense of self from the beginning. Thereviews forSuits LA’s pilot episodeindicated that there were glaring issues, but they sadly weren’t addressed soon enough. Undoubtedly, the best moments inSuits LAwere Louis and Harvey’s return, which proves the spinoff’s identity was never distinct enough to beat out the preexisting charm and nostalgia ofSuits. Regardless of what happens in theSuits LAseries finale, the spinoff’s story will unfortunately never feel quite finished.
