As a seasoned gamer of TV shows, having binged through the nine seasons of Suits more times than I can count, the news about Gabriel Macht reprising his role as Harvey Specter in the upcoming spinoff has me positively thrilled! It’s like finding that elusive rare item in a game you’ve been playing for years.
The long-awaited Los Angeles spinoff of Suits is starting to materialize, with the series expected to debut halfway through the 2025 TV season. There has been much speculation about the Stephen Amell-led law drama, including whether any key characters from the original show might make an appearance. Now, we can confirm that one popular character will be back, as Gabriel Macht is returning to his beloved role of Harvey Specter. In true Specter fashion, Macht expressed his excitement for this news.
Long-term supporters can look forward to seeing more of the veteran actor in the Suits spin-off, as Gabriel Macht’s character Harvey is set to appear in multiple episodes instead of a single appearance, according to Variety. Details about the specifics of his role within the storyline have not been revealed yet, but it appears that his character’s style (and possibly personality) will stay largely consistent. This is suggested by the Instagram video recently shared by Macht, which hints at this continuity.

Simply seeing his monogrammed cuff and sharp shoes is enough to ignite enthusiasm among fans. At the moment, the former Good Shepherd student’s post has garnered over 90,000 likes in just an hour. It’s thrilling to learn that Harvey will make a comeback after the final season of the original series ended on USA Network in 2019. Moreover, it seems fitting for the character to appear, as it ensures consistency between the two shows.
It’s clear that people paid attention to the cryptic hint given in the caption as well. The actor’s statement, “When an old friend is in trouble…it’s time to settle matters and set things straight,” can be read in several ways, and I won’t be surprised if it continues to fuel speculation for some time. At minimum, though, it appears that the New York-based Specter might be summoned to Los Angeles to offer aid.
Following Gabriel Macht’s announcement about taking a break from his iconic role post the original series finale, and expressing no immediate desire to reprise it, his recent casting in LA has left me puzzled. Was this a strategic move on his part to throw us off, or has there been a shift in his feelings?
On Sunday, February 23rd, at 9 pm Eastern Time, catch the premiere of “Suits” on NBC. Until then, delve into all nine seasons of its precursor series by streaming it with a Netflix membership, and follow the escapades of Harvey Specter!
