Aaron Korsh's legal drama "Suits" had a solid eight-year run on cable, but its explosive resurgence into the pop culture sphere after Netflix added it in 2023 is a comeback for the history books. Unfortunately, its spin-off, "Suits LA," isn't following in its footsteps.

NBC is shutting the doors on "Suits LA's" West Coast office after just one season, Variety reported this week. This expansion of the "Suits" universe led by Stephen Amell premiered in February with plenty of buzz.

The ratings reflected that drop-off in quality as well. According to TVLine, "Suits LA" has averaged just 2.35 million total viewers. Out of the 11 dramas NBC aired this TV season, it only beat out fellow freshman "Grosse Pointe Garden Society" in terms of viewership.

Now it seems NBC has read the writing on the wall and realized "Suits LA" isn't the smash hit the studio thought it had on its hands. When the "Suits LA" season finale airs on May 18, it'll be the last hurrah for the "Suits" universe. For now, at any rate. NBC or another network could always revive the IP somewhere down the line.

"Suits LA" is one of five shows NBC is pulling the plug on, joining the ranks of "Lopez vs. Lopez," "Night Court," "Found" and "The Irrational." That list could grow, though, as the fates of other under-performing series like "The Hunting Party" and "Grosse Pointe Garden Society" remain up in the air.
