Amell Has Big Shoes To Fill
Much remains unknown aboutSuits: L.A., butAmell has his work cut out for him in terms of following leads like Macht and Adams.Macht’s Harvey Specterwas confident and sometimes larger than life while Adams' Mike Ross was often more understated, and it will be interesting to see how Amell’s Black compares.
Adams has previously revealed that he would be open to reprising his role as Mike inSuits: L.A., tellingTVLinein October: “I’ve offered my services at all times. I love Aaron Korsh and I love that world; it changed my whole life."
Korsch is undoubtedly part of why the original show experienced success through to theSuitsseries finalein 2019, and it’s great that he’s returning to shepherd the sequel, but the original cast was also a major strength. Though, on paper, theSuits: L.A.cast features some impressive names,it will be the dynamic between all of these new characters that makes or breaks the show.
