TORONTO – Corus’ W Network will soon be the Canadian home for the new Suits spin-off series Pearson.
The political drama centres around the world of recently disbarred NYC powerhouse lawyer Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres, Suits – pictured) as she adjusts to down and dirty Chicago politics. Newly appointed as Chicago Mayor Bobby Novak’s (Morgan Spector, Homeland) right hand fixer, Jessica is quickly embroiled in a crooked and dangerous new world where every action has far-reaching consequences. With her compulsion to win, she is forced to reconcile her unstoppable drive with her desire to do the right thing – two things very much at odds.
From Suits creator and executive producer Aaron Korsh, the 10 episode series also stars Canadians Eli Goree (Riverdale) and Chantel Riley (Wynonna Earp) as well as Bethany Joy Lenz (One Tree Hill), Simon Kassianides (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), and Isabel Arraiza (The Oath).
