Stephen Amell, best known for his role as Oliver Queen in the hit TV series 'Arrow', is set to take on a new challenge in the legal world of Los Angeles. The 43-year-old actor will be starring as Ted Black, a former New York prosecutor, in the upcoming 'SUITS' spinoff, 'SUITS: LA'.
The first look at Amell in his new role was recently revealed, showing the actor in a suit and tie, looking off into the distance, embodying the determined and focused character of Ted Black. Another image shows him sitting at a desk in front of a window, a scene that hints at the contemplative and strategic nature of his character.
'SUITS: LA' is a spinoff of the popular legal drama 'SUITS', which aired on USA Network from 2011 to 2019. The original series was set in a fictional law firm in New York City and followed talented college dropout Mike Ross, who starts working as a law associate for Harvey Specter, despite never having attended law school. The show focuses on Harvey and Mike managing to close cases while maintaining Mike's secret.
In 'SUITS: LA', Amell's character, Ted Black, is a former New York prosecutor who has moved to Los Angeles to take on the city's legal world. The character's New York background and his move to Los Angeles suggest that the show will explore the contrasts and conflicts between the legal cultures of the two cities.
While the new legal drama has no release date as of yet, it could premiere later this fall or during the 2025-2026 TV season, according to TV Line.
Amell's transition from the superhero world to the legal drama is a testament to his versatility as an actor. His portrayal of Oliver Queen in 'Arrow' was widely praised, and fans are eagerly anticipating his performance in 'SUITS: LA'.
