Gabriel Macht is dusting off his three-piece suits and stepping back into the power stance of Harvey Specter—but not without a dramatic internal struggle that probably involved a lot of pacing, squinting, and intense mirror pep talks.
The Suits legend is making a grand return for a three-episode arc in the upcoming spinoff Suits LA, but let’s be real—convincing him to step back into those tailored suits took some serious negotiation.
The Reluctant Return of the King (of Corporate Law)
Picture this: Gabriel’s chilling at home, probably wearing sweatpants, when Suits creator Aaron Korsh calls. The actor, in full “off-duty dad” mode, picks up the phone.
“What do you want, Aaron?” he recalls saying, as if he were being asked to babysit a neighbor’s cat.
Aaron, likely whispering like a man who knows he’s about to ask for a favor, starts pitching.
“Well… Harvey and Ted (played by Stephen Amell) go way back. They worked together. There’s history.”
Gabriel? Unmoved.
“I’m like, ‘Cool story, bro, but let me think about it.’”
Harvey Specter vs. Dad Duties
Macht made it clear that he had other priorities—specifically, being a full-time family man instead of a fictional legal genius who charges $1,000 per eyebrow raise.
But then, the idea of passing the metaphorical baton to Stephen Amell (a.k.a. Ted, a.k.a. TV’s favorite brooding action star) got him thinking.
“If we can create a space for this, I’d love to help,” he said. “And, honestly, if it makes sense and I can pull it off without my wife side-eyeing me for leaving the house too much—let’s discuss.”
What’s Harvey Specter Up To?
Well, Gabriel hasn’t even filmed his scenes yet, so we’re all in the dark. But he did drop a few crumbs for the Suits detectives out there:
🔥 There will be flashbacks. Because nostalgia is the fuel that runs reboots.
🔥 Harvey and Ted’s bromance runs deep—like, matching friendship bracelets deep.
🔥 They’ve got each other’s backs, which probably means epic banter, mutual smirking, and cases won in record time.
Mark Your Calendars, Suits Fans!
Suits LA premieres THIS SUNDAY (February 23) on NBC—which means it’s time to clear your schedule, grab your popcorn, and prepare for another round of lawyerly swagger.
Because let’s be honest—Harvey Specter never really leaves. He just takes extended power naps.
