Fits could have ended after a nine-season run on USA Community in 2019, however the TV present’s immense reputation on Netflix in 2023 has led to this world being expanded for the 2025 TV schedule. The spinoff Fits: L.A. is a month away from premiering on NBC (with episodes turning into accessible to stream afterwards with a Peacock subscription), and it was introduced final November that unique Fits star Gabriel Macht will reprise Harvey Specter in a three-episode stint. Fits and Fits: L.A. creator Aaron Korsh has now shared why Harvey will likely be showing within the latter sequence, and it is sensible.
This stemmed from a fan who’d requested Korsh if Gina Torres may also reprise Jessica Pearson on Fits: L.A., to which the artistic stated that he’s “open to every part however we do need to launch these characters on this present.”When one other fan then requested why Harvey was particularly chosen because the Fits character to return and if this says one thing about how Korsh seems on the earlier present, he responded on X:
The community very a lot needed one unique member. In the event you watch, you’ll see that from a narrative standpoint Harvey made probably the most sense. I initially wrote this as its personal factor not a Fits spin off so I’m unsure what that claims about how I have a look at both one.
Principally, Aaron Korsh and the Fits: L.A. writing workforce wanted to determine a solution to embrace one Fits alum on NBC’s request, and Harvey felt like your best option. As Korsh stated, he initially envisioned Fits: L.A. to be its personal self-contained TV present fairly than a by-product to a fundamental cable hit, however as soon as it developed into what we’re getting in just some weeks time, he realized Harvey was your best option to be organically blended into the story. Fortuitously, we have already got an thought of how that is being achieved because of the Fits: L.A. trailer that premiered final week.
On the finish of the trailer, lead protagonist Ted Black, performed by Stephen Amell, is talking with Troy Winbrush’s character Kevin, who lifts up an image exhibiting Ted with Harvey and two different guys as they’re taking a break from enjoying baseball. Kevin says he by no means preferred Harvey and thought he was the one one who was cockier than Ted, which is strictly the rationale Ted preferred him a lot. So Ted and Harvey go method again, though given how Gabriel Macht is sort of 10 years older than Amell, I’d discover it exhausting to imagine that these characters went to regulation college collectively.
It’s unclear when Gabriel Macht will first seem on Fits: L.A., however I’m trying ahead to studying how Harvey Specter and Ted Black are particularly related. Stephen Amell is joined within the spinoff’s essential solid by Josh McDermitt, Lex Scott Davis and Bryan Greenberg. The opposite recurring/visitor actors embrace Victoria Justice, Alice Lee, Rachelle Goulding, Anita Ghanizada, Maggie Grace, Matt Letscher, Sofia Pernas, Carson A. Egan and the late John Amos in his final onscreen look. Aaron Korsh wrote the pilot and Victoria Mahoney directed it.
Fits: L.A. premieres Sunday, February 23 on NBC. As talked about earlier, Fits might be discovered on Netflix, in addition to Peacock. Nonetheless, it’s been made clear that you just received’t have to have seen Fits as a way to observe together with what occurs in Fits: L.A.
