When Fits LA was first introduced, there was no indication that the NBC spinoff airing on the 2025 TV schedule would have any connection to the unique Fits past merely current in the identical universe. Then in November 2024, it was introduced that Gabriel Macht would reprise Harvey Specter for 3 episodes, and now we will additionally anticipate the return of Rick Hoffman as Louis Litt and David Costabile as antagonist Daniel Hardman. So which OG Fits alum might seem on LA subsequent? Lex Scott Davis gave me her choose after I just lately chatted together with her, and I’d be down for seeing this pairing.
Along with Davis, who performs Erica Rollins, informing me about what’s forward for Black & Associates now that the Lester Thompson trial is over, she additionally expressed curiosity in Gina Torres’ Jessica Pearson stopping by Fits LA. She talked about this whereas answering my query about what it means to her that these Fits actors are participating within the spinoff she co-stars in alongside Stephen Amell, Josh McDermitt and Bryan Greenberg. Davis began off together with her saying:
It is an honor to be in the identical sentence as the unique Fits universe, you already know what I imply? So having them come again is an indication of their help and an indication of them passing the torch for us and welcoming us into this universe, I like what that does as a result of it additionally exhibits followers that these are usually not two totally different worlds, Neither are towards one another. We’re one huge household. We’re working collectively and it is an honor to have them come and reprise the function.
Thus far the one Fits tie that’s been established in Fits LA got here from Gabriel Macht’s look in “Batman Returns,” although he was taking part in Harvey Specter in 2010 as a part of the present’s flashback storyline, i.e. roughly a 12 months earlier than Lex Scott Davis is grateful he, Rick Hoffman and David Costabile are keen to lend their abilities to the spinoff. As a result of these actors are supporting Fits LA on this manner, Fits followers get to see how these long-established characters work together with the brand new lineup of expertise.
Let’s additionally remember that when Fits concluded its nine-season run on USA Community in 2019, there was no indication that this world would ever be revisited. However then the sequence blew up on Netflix in 2023, and by February 2024, Fits LA obtained a pilot order. Whether or not or not the present might be renewed for a second season stays to be seen, but when that occurs, Lex Scott Davis is crossing her fingers that Erica Rollins meets Jessica Pearson. As she continued:
And I simply hope I am fortunate sufficient to have a scene with them, as a result of that might be actually enjoyable for me. After which additionally the potential of shifting ahead and success with a Season 2, then perhaps there’s extra of the unique actors we might have come again as effectively. I’d love a second to have [Jessica] Pearson and Erica in the identical scene. I am manifesting it, I maintain planting seeds. So hopefully she’s subsequent on the record for us to get.
Gina Torres was a sequence common throughout Fits’ first seven seasons, having co-founded the legislation agency the place all the principle characters labored. Torres then departed the sequence for her personal spinoff, Pearson, which noticed Jessica shifting to Chicago and changing into a political participant within the Windy Metropolis. Pearson solely lasted for one season, however like Fits and Fits LA, it may be streamed with a Peacock subscription.
Jessica Pearson was by no means seen on Fits throughout its ultimate two seasons, so if a chance comes alongside for her to go to Los Angeles for lawyer-y causes, I be a part of Lex Scott Davis in hoping this occurs. Seeing Jessica paired with Erica appears like an attractive prospect and gives a further purpose for why Fits LA Season 2 ought to occur.
