Gabriel Macht, the star of the hit legal drama 'Suits', will reprise his role as Harvey Specter on the upcoming NBC spin-off, which is set to premiere in February 2025.

AceShowbiz - Gabriel Macht, who played the charismatic attorney Harvey Specter on the original "Suits", is set to make a three-episode guest appearance on the spin-off series "Suits LA". This marks Macht's first screen return since "Suits" ended in 2019.
Macht's character Harvey Specter shares a similar background with the lead character on "Suits LA", Ted Black (Stephen Amell), as both were former prosecutors in New York. In a social media teaser, Macht indicated that Harvey will be helping "an old friend in need" on the spin-off.
The NBC spin-off, created by Aaron Korsh, follows a new law firm in Los Angeles. While the spin-off and the original series take place in the same universe, they will focus on different characters and storylines. Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself by representing powerful clients in Los Angeles.
Macht's return has been highly anticipated by fans of "Suits". After the original series' nine-season run ended, Macht took a break from acting and moved to the U.K. with his family. However, he has recently resurfaced, appearing in a "Suits" reunion at the Golden Globes and in a T-Mobile commercial alongside Patrick J. Adams.
The massive resurgence of "Suits" on Netflix, which topped the charts for multiple weeks, led to the creation of "Suits LA" and increased interest in the original cast's potential involvement. NBC executives had hinted at the possibility of OG cast members appearing, and Macht's return has now been confirmed.
"Suits LA", starring Amell, Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt and Bryan Greenberg, premieres on NBC on February 23, 2025. Macht is currently repped by CAA.
