USA tries on Suits spin-off

USA Network has greenlit a spin-off to legal drama Suits from Universal Cable Productions (UCP).

Gina Torres plays Suits’ Jessica Pearson

The drama will follow Suits character Jessica Pearson, played by Gina Torres, as she grows accustomed to the murky world of Chicago politics.

The as-yet untitled series is produced by NBCUniversal-owned UCP and written by Suits creator and exec producer Aaron Korsh and showrunner Daniel Arkin.

Korsh and Arki exec produce the series alongside Doug Liman, David Bartis and Gene Klein of Hypnotic Films & Television. Torres will also serve as exec producer.

Last year, NBCUniversal International Studios president Jeff Wachtel (then chief content officer for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment and head of UCP) gave the go-ahead to explore a spin-off saying “we owed it to the audience” to give Torres’ character her own series and “follow her journey beyond the original show.”
