Last month, it was announced that the Sweet Girl star had been cast in the upcoming Suits spinoff. In this legal and courtroom drama series, the 33-year-old will play the role of Erica Rollins, described by Deadline as a “savvy and strong-willed rising star.”
The report also noted that Suits L.A. is not a revival or a reboot but an extension of the Suits franchise, introducing “new characters in a new location” to the audience.
The new show will follow Stephen Amell’s character, Ted Black, a former New York-based federal prosecutor who “has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles,” according to the logline.
The series will also depict Amell joining forces with his old friend Stuart Lane, played by Josh McDermitt, to establish a new firm called Black Lane Law. Together, Lane and Black will specialize in criminal and entertainment law.
