NBC’s latest spinoff, Suits LA, has barely begun. Yet, speculation about its potential cancellation before Season 2 is already swirling. With lukewarm ratings and mounting criticism, doubts about its future are growing. Moreover, the show seemingly lacks the charm that made the original Suits a global phenomenon. As a result, fans are already wondering whether Suits LA will survive beyond its first season or face cancellation.
Has Suits LA been canceled by NBC already before Season 2?
As of now, Suits LA has not been officially canceled by NBC.
The show is still in its early stages, having premiered with 2.6 million viewers. However, the buzz surrounding its future is far from positive. The spinoff, which follows Stephen Amell as Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor turned entertainment lawyer, has failed to capture the same magic that made the original Suits a fan favorite.
The original series ended in 2019. It saw a massive resurgence in popularity when it hit Netflix in 2023, becoming the most-streamed show of the year. This revival sparked hopes that Suits LA would ride the wave of its predecessor’s success. Unfortunately, the spinoff has fallen short of expectations.
Critics and audiences alike have been vocal about their disappointment, with the show earning a dismal 39% on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer and a similar 32% audience score. Comments like, “The plot is good, but something just felt off,” and “It doesn’t even have any interesting characters,” have become common. Furthermore, fans are already predicting the worst. One viewer boldly stated, “I guarantee you — Suits LA will get canceled by summer.” Even the previous spinoff, Pearson, which only lasted one season, managed to score a 79% audience rating—far higher than Suits LA’s current standing.

While NBC has not made any official announcements about the cancellation of Suits LA, the show’s poor reception and lackluster ratings are not encouraging signs for a Season 2.
