Suits LA, the spin-off from the popular series Suits, has been abruptly canceled by NBC after just one season. The decision came from the brand's president of program planning strategy, Jeff Bader, who indicated that the show did not resonate with audiences as anticipated. Despite a recent surge in popularity for the original Suits series on Netflix, the new iteration failed to show growth potentials necessary for renewal. Bader noted that the assessment was based on both linear and digital performance metrics, leading to tough decisions about which shows to continue amid a crowded scheduling format due to increased sports content. The cancellation followed the show's final episode airing on May 11, 2025.

Why was Suits LA canceled?

Suits LA was canceled because it did not resonate with viewers as expected, failing to demonstrate growth potential necessary for NBC’s future programming strategy.

Suits original series ran for nine successful seasons from 2011 to 2019, spawning renewed interest after its addition to Netflix. This revival likely contributed to the initial enthusiasm for Suits LA, but ultimately, it could not sustain viewership and ratings for continued operation. The original show's creator, Aaron Korsh, was also behind the spin-off, and several original cast members made guest appearances, hoping to capture the old show's success.
