Arrow star Stephen Amell is set to play lead character Ted Black in Suits: LA.

PerVariety, the Suits spinoff centers on Ted whose “firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career. Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives. All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved.”

Suits: LA was created by Suits helmer Aaron Korsch. Victoria Mahoney (Yelling to the Sky, The Old Guard 2) is set to direct the pilot episode. The series takes place in the same universe as the flagship show.

Amell was the Arrow of The CW’s Arrowverse, playing Oliver Queen/Green Arrow on the show of the same name and reprising the role on The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Batwoman.
