Two months after the cancellation ofSuits LA, one of its stars has landed a major role. Led byArrowandHeelsalum Stephen Amell, with original series creator Aaron Korsh returning to spearhead the spinoff,Suits LAturned its attention to the world of entertainment law and put former prosecutor Ted Black right at the center of the action.
Amell was joined by Lex Scott Davis, Bryan Greenberg, Maggie Grace, Tim Winbush, Alice Lee, and Azita Ghanizada, but the new focus and the overall new characters did not continue the revived momentum that the original found on streaming.Suits LAseason 2wasaxed by NBC in May, owing to the legal drama’s weak ratings and the network’s shifting priorities.

What Greenberg’s Addition Means For Emily In Paris Season 5
A New Romantic Lead
Emily in Parisseason 5is currently filming, with its premiere set for later in 2025. Greenberg’s casting was announced alongside the return of Paul Forman, who is returning as Nico, Mindy’s love interest, and Arnaud Binard as Laurent G. Greenberg’s casting is significant, though, sincehe will be playing another American living in Paris.
Returning cast members include Lily Collins (Emily Cooper), Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie Grateau), Park (Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello) and Thalia Besson (Genevieve).
Greenberg showed a lot of romantic comedy potential in his time withtheSuits LAcast, mixing it up with Erica Rollins (played by Lex Scott Davis). They were often at odds. But despite their friction and undeniably complicated history, they had an undeniable spark. The actor is now showing up in one of Netflix’s marquee series with a strong connection to its main character that may give him a narrative advantage.
Our Take On Greenberg’s Casting
He’s A Good Fit
Viewers who have seen Greenberg in theSuitsspinoff know he can deliver chemistry. Thescenes inSuits LAbetween Rick and Ericawere among the show’s best and also gave it some lightness that it lacked elsewhere.
It could be a chance for the familiar actor, who has had a variety of guest and recurring turns, to show the side that was only hinted at during his run onSuits LA.
