ONE-AND-DONE: Suits LA was unceremoniously thrown on the NBC scrap heap Friday, along with four other series

No one had Suits (2011-19) being the hit show of 2023, but after it was, very few would have had the inevitable spinoff, Suits LA, canceled weeks before even finishing out its first season.

Why ‘Suits LA’ Was One and Done

'Suits’ shocked the streaming world with a record run in summer 2023, but its inevitable spinoff was scrapped after airing only 11 episodes.

Suits LA was unceremoniously thrown on the NBC scrap heap Friday, along with four other series: Lopez vs. Lopez, Night Court, The Irrational and Found. 

The broadcast network had to clean house for the return of the NBA to its airwaves.

But if any of those five were hits, NBC executives would have found a time slot

“It’s so hard to talk about shows and which ones you bring back,” Jeff Bader, NBC’s president of programming strategy, said on a conference call with media the following day. 

“Suits (LA) has had a very short run, but it really just has not resonated the way we thought it would. There can be many, many reasons — people are speculating why it hasn’t resonated, but it’s just not really showing the potential to grow for us in the future, unfortunately.”
