Amell Owns Suits LA Flop: 'Blame Rests With Me'

Stephen Amell has taken full responsibility for the cancellation of the Suits LA spinoff, admitting that the show's failure rested on his shoulders. He expressed that his performance did not sufficiently mask the series' underlying issues, stating, "it's my job to solve those... and I didn't do that." Amell recalled that even early in production, creator Aaron Korsh struggled to align the pilot with network notes, suggesting a divergence in creative direction.

The legal drama, which debuted in February 2025, was axed just three months later. Amell explained his willingness to accept blame, asserting that if a show is successful, the lead gets credit, so it's only fair to take responsibility when it fails. He also reflected on minor regrets, such as his input on promotional posters and missing the series premiere viewing with the cast.
