Suits LA, the West Coast-set spin-off from the massively profitable present Suits, will not be getting a second season. That makes it the second Suits spin-off to be canceled on condition that Pearson was canceled final 12 months.
The authentic Suits was an enormous success and launched us to Meghan Markle, turning into the must-watched present of 2023 when it moved from broadcast TV to Netflix. It was the primary streaming present for 12 consecutive weeks. But Netflix selected to not purchase this spin-off, so it wasn’t uncovered to the identical enormous potential viewers as the unique present.

Why Suits’ spin-offs do not final
While The Hollywood Reporter shared the information of Suits LA‘s cancellation, it did not go into the the reason why. But like its fellow spin-off Pearson, the reason being virtually definitely poor viewing figures.
As TVLine reported final 12 months, Pearson solely averaged 513,000 viewers – half the viewership of Suits Season 9, and decrease than all however one USA Network drama on the time (the exception was the ultimate season of Mr Robot, which had 360,000 viewers on common). While 1.07 million folks watched the pilot, the finale was watched by 490,000 folks – simply over half the viewers for the Suits finale.
Pearson struggled to seek out viewers despite the fact that it obtained respectable critiques. I think Suits LA struggled much more, as a result of its critiques have usually been horrible.
The present is at the moment sitting with simply 39% from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and simply 54% from the viewers. As the AV Club put it: “There’s no strategy to sugarcoat it: Suits LA is a catastrophe. In each conceivable means, this offshoot fails to seize the unique’s breezy attract.”
The first and solely season of Suits LA is at the moment streaming on Peacock within the US. While it isn’t at the moment streaming within the UK, these in Australia can catch it on 7plus.
