The drama hails from Universal Cable Productions (UCP) and is executive produced and written by <em>Suits<\/em> creator and executive producer Aaron Korsh, alongside executive producer and showrunner Daniel Arkin. Doug Liman, David Bartis and Gene Klein of Hypnotic (<em>Suits<\/em>) and Torres will also serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gina&#8217;s portrayal of Jessica Pearson as one of television&#8217;s strongest, most successful businesswomen has made a huge impact with fans,&#8221; said Chris McCumber, the president of entertainment networks at NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. &#8220;We can&#8217;t wait to explore this next chapter in the\u00a0<em>Suits<\/em> legacy\u2014and a brand-new world for Jessica.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was an extraordinary pleasure working with Gina on\u00a0<em>Suits<\/em> for six years. Beyond her undeniable talent, she is an incredible partner and collaborator, and I always hoped we would work together again,&#8221; said Korsh, creator and executive producer of\u00a0<em>Suits<\/em> and the new spin-off series.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am sincerely grateful to USA and UCP for giving Dan Arkin, my producing partners at Hypnotic and me the opportunity to continue Jessica Pearson&#8217;s journey in this new series that will encapsulate all that our fans love about her and\u00a0<em>Suits<\/em>\u2014but with its own distinct story that will be unique to the franchise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The\u00a0<em>Suits<\/em> flagship series has struck a chord with our marketing partners throughout the years as a great platform for advertising and sponsorship opportunities,&#8221; added Mark Marshall, executive VP of entertainment advertising sales at NBCUniversal. &#8220;This new Gina Torres-led spin-off allows us to provide those same advertisers and audiences with the content we already know they love to watch, and we&#8217;re excited to bring them this new chapter in the show&#8217;s legacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USA Network has ordered a spin-off series of Suits that will be centered on powerhouse lawyer Jessica Pearson, played by Gina Torres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":9124,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1185,95],"class_list":["post-9123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-suits","tag-usa-network","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
