Here’s What Happened Rick Hoffman After Suits Ended

After a successful nine-season run, “Suits” finished its final season in 2019, and Rick Hoffman said goodbye to a career-defining experience. During an interview with Stuff, Hoffman said he loved being on “Suits.” Explaining how his character had grown through the series, he said, “Louis has come from such a far place. In the beginning, Louis just had walls all over the place and each year you start to see different cracks and you see through them.”

Fortunately, Hoffman didn’t have to leave the role he cared about right away. He briefly reprised the character for the spinoff series, “Pearson,” which starred his “Suits” costar, Gina Torres, who continues to play Jessica Pearson as the lawyer moves into Chicago politics. The spinoff series ran for one season, featuring Hoffman’s character in one episode.

As “Suits” was coming to a close, the creators considered many different spinoff options before landing on “Pearson.” According to executive producer Gene Klein, Hoffman almost had a show of his own. “There were numerous ideas for spinoffs that we mostly just sort of fantasized about,” Klein told TV Line. “Obviously, there was a Louis Litt-themed one,” he added, revealing that they considered giving the lawyer Hoffman played his own spinoff. This idea didn’t go anywhere, but Klein kept some of the details to himself, just in case the series comes to fruition one day.
