Long before becoming a routine entity in the royal spheres, Meghan Markle
was famous for her rise in Tinseltown as the Suits
star. The American legal drama television series, created and written by Aaron Korsh, aired in 2011. But over a decade after its production hot on the heels of its newfound popularity on Netflix, the maker announced a spin-off, Suits L.A.
, to revive the series with new life.
NBCUniversal has long kept fans in suspense, but it is time to tie those loose ends. So, here is a lowdown on the reboot, neatly wrapped just for the Suits
fans.

Updates on Aaron Korsh’s Suits L.A.
have been pouring in like droplets filling the bucket after his original series became the most-watched show on Netflix.

NBC revealed a short teaser for the spin-off, scheduled to premiere next year on February 23 at 9 PM EST

Though she might follow a path similar to that of Suits
characters, the exact direction of the plot remains a mystery. NBC revealed the first teaser, which is a whirlwind of flashy LA footage with slick character shots that offer nothing beyond a tantalizing sneak peek. However, there is hope that more will be revealed in time when the network releases a full trailer in the future.
