USA’s ‘Pearson’ Series Premiere: Meet The ‘Suits’ Spinoff Cast

“Suits” might be heading into its ninth and final season tonight, but the show’s finding new life with its spinoff series, “Pearson,” which premieres on USA Network right after the new episode of “Suits” airs.

Fans of the original series will get to see what the tough-and-smart-as-nails Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) is up to now, after leaving her New York law firm behind, while new viewers will get to meet the former lawyer for the first time.

“[The series] centers around the world of recently disbarred NYC powerhouse lawyer Jessica Pearson as she adjusts to down and dirty Chicago politics,” the synopsis reveals. “Newly appointed as Chicago Mayor Bobby Novak’s (Morgan Spector) right-hand fixer, Jessica is quickly embroiled in a crooked and dangerous new world where every action has far-reaching consequences.”

Prepare yourself for the new political drama by getting to know the “Pearson” cast before the USA show’s Season 1 premiere tonight.
