Macht’s involvement in the show has been confirmed ahead of time, with the actor even making a surprise appearance during the sequel offshoot’s premiere. That said, the clip from the outingfeatures flashbacks of what appears to be the first time that Harvey and Ted crossed paths, since the late Eddie Black is also present during the sequence. So, it’s a nice surprise to see an additional new look at Macht, especially because it’s set in the present time.
Considering the backdrop, the video confirms thatSuits LAwill feature Harveyscenes in Seattle.Macht is actually in the Emerald City, as the clip is filmed at the famous Kerry Park viewing point, which is why it has an unobstructed view of the Space Needle. Seeing Harvey again in any capacity would be a massive treat for those who loveSuits, regardless if they are USA Network or streaming fans, but making sure that the public gets an idea of how Seattle has treated him is a welcome bonus.

Our Take On Harvey Specter’s Suits LA Cameo Including Scenes In Seattle
Perhaps Donna Or Mike Can Also Appear?
In an ideal world,the Suits revival would simply follow Harvey and Mike’s new life in Seattle. Assuming that it’s still the case, the pair is supposedly running their smaller but still effective firm in the Pacific Northwest. However, I do understand why this is almost impossible to do given the legacy cast’s respective schedules and endeavors. That said,Suits LAincluding scenes in Seattle seems to be Aaron Korsh’s way to reward anyone who has been invested in theoriginalSuitscast.
Suits: LA Is Already Lying About Harvey Specter’s Replacement Before The Spinoff Even Premieres
NBC has released the first trailer for Suits LA, and the spinoff is already lying about Harvey Specter’s replacement: Stephen Amell’s Ted Black.
Officially, only Macht’s Harvey is confirmed to appear, but it shouldn’t be difficult to recruit either Patrick J. Adams or Sarah Rafferty for a mini Mike or Donna cameo. After that, the former New York’s Best Closer will have to fly down to Los Angeles to lend his old friend a helping hand. Macht’sSuitsfranchise return arc will last for 3 episodes ofSuits LA. Beyond that, it’s uncertain if he will ever play the role again.
