Earlier reports, including one from NBC Insider on March 6, 2025, teased Rick Hoffman's return as Louis Litt in Suits LA. However, for months, the details about his appearance, including the possible plot and the episode in which he will make a guest appearance, have been kept under wraps.

With the latest teaser trailer for the upcoming Suits LA episode 12, which will air on Sunday, May 11, 2025, fans got their first glimpse of Hoffman's return as the high-powered finance expert at Pearson Specter.

What has Rick Hoffman said about his return as Louis Litt in Suits LA? Plus spoilers

Ahead of his reappearance as Louis Litt in the Suits spinoff, Rick Hoffman told Deadline in an exclusive interview published on May 7, 2025, that continuing his Suits character in the spinoff could never be a bad thing.

"How could you complain? You're so lucky to have something like this happen. Many shows never get noticed, nor get what we had for 9 years."

According to the OG Suits star, not every show can get a first life, much less a second one like they did. He also likened the original show's resurgence to "winning several lottery tickets." He also told the outlet that he had no hesitation in reprising the role in Suits LA because the storyline "made perfect sense."

As for what audiences can expect from Louis Litt in the upcoming episode 12, Rick Hoffman shared a couple of teasers with Deadline. He said that he was sent to anger management, as seen in the teaser, because he punched a lawyer for insulting his cat. He referred to his character and Stuart in episode 12 as "Federale friends" after they ran into each other at anger management.

He also shared what his character has been up to since he last appeared in the OG series, saying that he runs his firm with the love of his life and with someone else, whom he didn't disclose in the interview.
