“Suits” ended on September 25, 2019, soon after Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) went off to star in the spin-off series “Pearson.” The show started in July 2019 and followed her new life in Chicago. Despite leaving New York, she knew that she could call those who stood by her in the Big Apple, and that included Louis Litt, who appears in Season 1, Episode 8, “The Political Wife.” Jessica asks for help with an immigration case. The phone call ends with her telling Louis that she misses him. Of course, he asks her to repeat her words so he can record them and share them with Harvey.
While filming “Suits,” Rick Hoffman discussed his character’s humanity with the New York Post: “He’s the guy everyone has come across, whether it be at work or playing sports or any type of social environment,” Hoffman said. “Most of the time we don’t want to go near this guy … who just steps on his own feet, can’t get out of his own way and is broken — like everyone else.”
“Pearson” lasted one season, and it has since been revealed that Louis almost got his own spin-off. Executive producer Gene Klein told TVLine that it was one of many ideas that he and showrunner Aaron Korsh tossed around. “There were numerous ideas for spin-offs that we mostly just sort of fantasized about,” said Klein, adding that they never went anywhere.
