Two extra actors have been solid in NBC’s pilot for the potential Suits: LA collection. Bryan Greenberg (The Mindy Project) and Alice Lee (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist) have joined Stephen Amell, Josh McDermitt, Lex Scott Davis, and Troy Winbush within the Suits spin-off venture.
Aaron Korsh, the creator and showrunner of the unique collection, is writing the pilot script and can government produce alongside David Bartis, Doug Liman, and Gene Klein. Victoria Mahoney will government produce and direct the pilot.
NBC ordered the collection pilot in February and revealed the story will observe Ted Black (Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York who’s attempting to reinvent himself in Los Angeles.
TV Line stories that Lee will play “Leah, a young associate attorney at Black Lane Law who has been assigned to work with (or, as it turns out, for) entertainment attorney Erica Rollins (Davis).” Lee will recur if the pilot is picked as much as collection.
As for Greenberg, Deadline reveals he’ll play “Rick Dodsen, Ted Black’s protege in the entertainment division of Black Lane Law. Slated to be promoted, Rick is determined to stay one step ahead of his rival, Erica Rollins.”
In a current interview, Amell stated the brand new collection could have the texture as the unique Suits, per Deadline:
“The script is great. The cast, most of which has been announced on your website, is really excellent. Both Lex [Scott Davis] and Josh [McDermitt], who I got a chance to do chemistry reads with, are sensational. So I’m trying to focus on what is directly in front of me, and what’s directly in front of me is a pilot script with more words per page than I have said in my entire career, by a factor of five. I’m just going to be a bit of a nervous wreck until we actually get on set and start shooting, which is in just about 27 days. Whatever, who’s counting?”
What do you think? Have you watched the unique collection? Are you hoping NBC picks up this Suits spin-off?
