A spinoff of ‘Suits’ is on the way. In 2017, the legal drama lost its lead stars, Meghan Markle and Patrick J Adams. But the show will go on in the form of ‘Second City’. The spinoff series will focus on Jessica Pearson, a character played by Gina Torres. ‘Second City’ will focus on Pearson’s transition into the world of shady Chicago politics.
Chris McCumber, a president at NBCUniversal, released a statement obtained by Nova 969. “Gina’s portrayal of Jessica Pearson as one of television's strongest most successful businesswomen has made a huge impact with fans”, he said “We can’t wait to explore this next chapter in the Suits legacy”. ‘Suits’ creator Aaron Korsh also sung Gina’s praises. “It was an extraordinary pleasure working with Gina on Suits for six years”, he said, adding that he “always hoped we would work together again”.
The release date of 'Second City' has not yet been confirmed.
