Suits LA canceled after a single season at NBC

The show failed to recapture the renewed interest in the original series, which first aired on USA in the 2010s.

Although Suits became something of a phenomenon when it first hit Netflix, it seems Suits LA was unable to capture that same magic. According to reporting in Entertainment Weekly, the show has been canceled ahead of its first season finale on NBC. The season finale will still air as planned but will be the show’s last episode.

While it shared the same name as the original show, Suits LA was set in Los Angeles instead of New York and followed a largely new cast that was led by Stephen Amell. A few familiar faces popped up over the course of the run, but the show didn’t have the same hooky premise as the original and also emphasized a slightly edgier tone.

The original series first debuted on USA in 2011 and followed a legal shark who takes on an up-and-coming attorney who is not who he appears to be. The show gained a new audience in 2023 when it first hit Netflix, perhaps in part because the show starred Meghan Markle, who eventually became part of the British Royal Family. That rekindled interest in the original series was a huge part of the impetus for the creation of this spin-off series.

Perhaps because of its limited connection to the original show, though, it wasn’t able to grab the same audience. Series creator Aaron Korsh previously told Entertainment Weekly that he would be interested in a spin-off movie featuring the original cast, though, so we might not be done with Suits just yet.

“I was very satisfied with the way Suits ended, and at some point we might do a Suits movie and that could be fun,” Korsh said. “It’s more in the hypothetical or theoretical stages, so I wouldn’t have many answers for you [now]. But it’s not an insane notion for us to someday do that.”

Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.

What is AV2, and why should viewers care?

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
