Gabriel Macht, the charismatic actor who brought Harvey Specter to life, is returning to screens in the much-anticipated spinoff, Suits LA.

Fans of the original series have been clamouring for this moment, and Macht is set to reprise his role in a three-episode guest arc.

HARVEY SPECTER RETURNS TO SUITS

This marks his first appearance on television since the iconic Suits series concluded in 2019, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The show premieres on 23 February 2024 on NBC, with Macht’s return expected to add star power to the new cast.

Macht shared the news through an Instagram teaser.

Dressed in Harvey’s signature sharp suit, he hinted, “When an old friend is in need… it’s time to take care of things and make those very ‘things’ right.”

While NBC has remained tight-lipped, sources confirm that Macht’s return is a one-off. There are no plans for a permanent role.

The original Suits became a cultural phenomenon, finding new life on Netflix. This renewed interest led to calls for familiar faces in Suits LA, according to Deadline.

Fans will undoubtedly relish Macht’s dynamic portrayal of the suave and unapologetically confident Harvey Specter.

HARVEY SPECTER AND TED BLACK

His role in the spinoff will connect to Ted Black, the new lead played by Arrow’s Stephen Amell.

Ted and Harvey share similar roots as former New York prosecutors. Harvey steps in to help Ted, now a high-powered Los Angeles attorney battling challenges at his firm.

For South African fans, this news rekindles nostalgia.

Macht’s decision to step away from acting after Suits allowed him to focus on his family, relocating to the UK for a quieter life.

Yet, his return demonstrates his enduring connection to the character.

His co-star from Suits, Patrick J. Adams, even joked, “Once Harvey, always Harvey,” during a recent event. “The legal world isn’t ready for Harvey Specter,” one fan wrote online, echoing the collective sentiment.
