Suits: L.A.: Stephen Amell, Lex Scott Davis Check In From Table Read

NBC's Suits: L.A. stars Stephen Amell and Lex Scott Davis took to social media to offer us a look at the cast during the series' table read.

After giving us the heads up late last month that he had his first day on the lot for the spinoff series (and how much he loves Stage 44), Stephen Amell and co-star Lex Scott Davis had very cool updates to pass along regarding how things are going. Taking to Instagram, Amell shared a quick video of the wardrobe rack on Instagram Stories and a pre-table read look at the room, offering a chance to see the team in action on Stories and in an individual post. But Davis one-upped Amell in a very big way by also sharing a look at the script cover for Episode 102: "Old Man Hanrahan" (directed by Anton Cropper and written by Aaron Korsch).

Here's a look at what Amell and Davis had to share on social media, offering us looks inside the table read:

Suits: L.A.: What We Know So Far…

Set in the same universe as the original series, the spinoff spotlights Amell's Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who has reinvented himself – and now represents some of the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. Black's 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 happening while events from years ago that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved slowly unravel. Joining Amell are Josh McDermitt (The Walking Dead), Lex Scott Davis (Florida Man), Troy Winbush (The Wilds), Alice Lee (Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist), and Bryan Greenberg (The Mindy Project).

McDermitt will play Stuart Lane, an "energetic, powerful, focused and self-absorbed" friend of Black's who founded the L.A. law firm Black Lane Law fifteen years ago to specialize in criminal and entertainment law. Davis' Erica Rollins is described as a savvy and strong-willed rising star who works for Amell's Ted Black. She's shrewd enough to test the loyalty of her associates only to admire some of them for not having any. Winbush's Kevin is Ted Black's (Amell) old friend and ex-partner, a former FBI agent now a private detective.

Lee's Leah is a young associate attorney at Black Lane Law who has been assigned to work with (or, as it turns out, for) entertainment attorney Erica Rollins (Davis). The series is not a direct sequel to the original Suits but will be set within the show's universe. Greenberg's Rick Dodsen is Ted Black's protege in the entertainment division of Black Lane Law. Slated to be promoted, Rick is determined to stay one step ahead of his rival, Erica Rollins (Davis).

Victoria Justice (50 States of Fright) and Kevin Weisman (Alias) have been tapped to guest-star. Justice's Dylan Pryor is a young movie star who's confident and ambitious – and looking to be represented by Ted. Weisman's Lester Thompson is a smart and powerful man who is used to getting his way – that is, until a murder charge forces him to have to listen to others to stay out of prison. The late John Amos (Good Times) also appeared in the series and will be honored for his contribution. With UCP serving as the studios and Victoria Mahoney having directed the pilot, original series creator Aaron Korsh executive produces alongside David Bartis and Doug Liman via their Hypnotic production banner and Gene Klein, who were EPs with him on the original series.
