Two seasons after airing a backdoor pilot for it on the show’s parent series, Suits—which continues to not be about the whimsical adventures of living laundry in a magical drycleaner’s, unfortunately—Gina Torres’ spin-off show Pearson is finally ready to make its way to the USA airwaves. Centered on the character of Jessica Pearson—the tough-but-fair lawyer that Joss Whedon alum Torres played for seven seasons on the original series—the show will see her descend into the world of Chicago politics, the sort of dirty world where not even Sudsie The Talking Soap Bubble can get out all the stains, and okay, okay, we’ll stop with the talking laundromat thing.
