“Suits: LA” has added four actors in guest star roles, Variety has learned exclusively.
Maggie Grace (“Fear the Walking Dead,” “Taken” franchise), Matt Letscher (“Narcos,” “The Flash”), Sofia Pernas (“Tracker,” “Blood & Treasure”), and Carson A. Egan have all joined the upcoming NBC series, which serves as a spinoff of the beloved USA Network legal drama “Suits.”
The quartet join previously announced cast members Stephen Amell, Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt, and Bryan Greenberg. It was also recently announced that “Suits” star Gabriel Macht will appear in a multi-episode arc of “Suits: LA” as well.
The official logline for the series states:
“Ted Black (Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive, he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career. Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives. All of this is going on while we slowly unravel the events that years ago led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved.”
Grace will play Amanda Stevens. The character is described as “Confident and sharp-witted, Amanda is a pro bono lawyer who rents space at Black/Lane law firm in order to have an upscale address for her own practice. Independently wealthy, Amanda takes on clients who have nowhere else to turn. Because she doesn’t work for Ted, the two could potentially explore the clear sparks between them.”
Letscher will play Ted’s father, who is descibed as “powerful, emotionally unavailable, rules through fear and intimidation. Ted’s father has alienated himself from Ted because of the way he treated Ted’s brother Eddie (Egan). Though Ted’s Father has committed unforgivable acts, he still wants to have a relationship with Ted, even though Ted wants nothing to do with him.”
Pernas will play Elizabeth Smith, who is said to be “a powerhouse attorney in the District Attorney’s office. Elizabeth goes head to head with Ted in a high-profile murder trial. Smart and no-nonsense, and up to the task, Smith proves to be a formidable opponent who has more than a few tricks up her sleeve.”
And finally, Egan will play Eddie Black, Ted’s brother. He is described as “sweet, good-humored and nurturing. Ted seems to rely on Eddie’s loving presence even more than Eddie relies on him.”
Grace is repped by Mosaic, Gersh, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman. Letscher is repped by IAG, Principal Entertainment LA, and McKuin, Frankel and Whitehead. Pernas is repped by Zero Gravity Management and Innovative Artists. Egan is repped by Lucas Talent.
“Suits: LA” premieres Feb. 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and is available to stream the next day on Peacock. “Suits” creator Aaron Korsh is the writer and executive producer on the series. David Bartis, Doug Liman, Gene Klein, Anton Cropper, Genevieve Sparling, Rick Muirragui and Jon Cowan also executive produce. UCP is the studio.
