The first episodes ofSuits LAhave finally been released, but the viewership numbers aren’t as high as what could’ve been expected from the spin-off. According toVariety, 2.6 million people tuned in to witness the introduction of Ted Black (Stephen Amell) to television. While the number can be considered impressive, it was remarkably low considering how high the demand for the originalSuitsseries has been in recent years. Time will tell what the future holds for Ted Black’s story. The viewership numbers from upcoming weeks will determine if the lawyer will return for a second season.
Suits LAwas created after the originalSuitsseries gained plenty of popularity during the summer of 2023. Four years had passed since the show came to a close, but viewers who were only just discovering the story of Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) and Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) fell in love with what happened on the screen. The new wave ofSuitspopularity convincedNBCto move forward with the development of Ted Black’s journey. If the spi-noff fails to gain a wider audience, Black’s journey might not be as successful as its predecessor.
It’s relevant to point out that when the originalSuitsshow became relevant again, the series was available to a wide audience thanks to its presence on Netflix. The fact thatSuits LAcurrently airs on NBC is related to the fact that the spin-off might not be as exposed to new fans as Harvey Specter’s story. The streaming rights ofSuits LAcurrently belong to Peacock, the platform responsible for shows such asPoker FaceandTwisted Metal. The show could reach more viewers once it becomes available for streaming.
