USA Network's Suits Gets Spin-Off?; TV Land's Younger Hits Series High...Again

Suits - Gina Torres

USA Network and Universal Cable Productions (UCP) announced that the Season 7 finale of Suits, airing in the first quarter of 2018, will serve as a potential spinoff that would center around powerhouse lawyer Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres). The pilot will be executive produced and written by Suits creator and executive producer Aaron Korsh and executive producer Daniel Arkin, and will be directed by Suits alum Anton Cropper (House of Lies, black-ish). Doug Liman, David Bartis and Gene Klein of Hypnotic (Suits) will also serve as executive producers. The pivotal Season 7 finale will reunite Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman), Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty) and Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle) with their old friend Pearson as she adjusts to her new life in the Windy City. When she is forced to enter the dirty world of Chicago politics, Pearson must rely on her legal wits and valiant relationships from Pearson Specter Litt to navigate this unknown territory.

In this last night's episode of Younger - (Wednesday, August 16) at 10pm ET/PT - Liza gets an opportunity to edit a potential bestseller, but it comes with emotional strings attached.
