Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) is set to fully dive in to his new role as managing partner of the firm in the second half of Season 8 of USA’s Suits. The network revealed today that Season 8B will premiere Wednesday, January 23 at 10/9c and unveiled a new teaser.

“I had a nightmare last night that we made Louis managing partner,” Harvey (Gabriel Macht) says to Donna (Sarah Rafferty) in the above teaser. “That wasn’t a nightmare and you know it,” replies Donna.

The second half of Season 8 picks up with expectant father Louis clearly relishing his new title. “You’re a wild stallion, and I am not going to ride you hard,” Louis tells an uncomfortable Harvey in the clip.

From Universal Cable Productions, Suits was created and is executive produced by Aaron Korsh. Doug Liman, David Bartis and Gene Klein of Hypnotic serve as executive producers. Genevieve Sparling, Ethan Drogin and Christopher Misiano also serve as executive producers.

Suits is an American legal drama created by Aaron Korsh and premiered on USA Network in June 2011. The series revolves around Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), a senior partner at the Pearson Specter (transitioning from Pearson Hardman to Pearson Darby to Pearson Darby Specter to its current name as of Season 3) law firm in Manhattan, and his recently hired associate attorney Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) as they hide the fact that Mike does not have a law degree. Each episode focuses on a single legal case and its challenges while examining the work environment of the firm, Mike's and Harvey's personal relationships, and problems stemming from Mike's lack of a degree. The rest of the starring cast portray other employees at the firm: Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman), Harvey's rival; Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle), a paralegal who develops feelings for Mike; Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty), Harvey's long-time legal secretary, close friend, and confidant; and Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres), the co-founder and managing partner of the firm.
