USA’s upcoming _Suits_ spinoff now has a title — _Second City_. The offshoot of the long-running legal drama is toplined by the mothership series’ alumna Gina Torres and centers on her
character, powerhouse lawyer Jessica Pearson, as she enters the dirty world of Chicago politics. Torres announced the title today at NBCU’s upfront in Manhattan, while introducing footage
from the recent _Suits _season finale, which served as a pilot for the new series. _Suits_ and _Second City_ will co-exist as the mothership series recently was renewed for an eighth season
without two of its original stars, Patrick J. Adams and future British royal Meghan Markle. Returning cast members Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman and Sarah Rafferty will be joined by Dulé Hill,
who is being promoted to a series regular after recurring this season, and new addition Katherine Heigl. The backdoor pilot was written by _Suits _creator and executive producer Aaron Korsh
and executive producer Daniel Arkin, and was directed by Suits alum Anton Cropper. The new series, which hails from Universal Cable Prods., is executive produced by Korsh, showrunner Arkin,
Torres and Suits executive producers Doug Liman, David Bartis and Gene Klein of Hypnotic. WATCH ON DEADLINE
