Lex Scott Davis will share the screen with previously confirmed cast members Stephen Amell and Josh McDermitt. The team behind the show hopes to capture the essence of the original ‘Suits’ series, which enjoyed a successful run on the USA Network, by diving into the competitive legal scene of Los Angeles.
The show’s producers shared a glimpse into the storyline:
“Ted Black (Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career.”
They added:
“Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives. All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved.”
The Details About The Upcoming Spinoff
In her role, Davis plays Erica Rollins, a determined and clever up-and-comer in Ted Black’s team. According to the character description, Erica is known for challenging the loyalty of her colleagues, revealing her respect for those who stand firm, even without allegiance.
