– Peacock will have rights to “Pearson,” the “Suits” spinoff
– Original “Suits” episodes still available on Amazon Prime Video
– “Pearson” debuted in 2019 and centered on disbarred lawyer Jessica Pearson
Peacock, the streaming service from NBCUniversal, has struck a deal to acquire the rights to and stream “Pearson,” a spinoff based on the successful USA Network series “Suits.” However, the original “Suits” episodes will continue to remain available on Amazon Prime Video.
“Pearson,” which debuted in 2019, revolves around the life of disbarred lawyer Jessica Pearson, played by Gina Torres. The spinoff series follows her as she enters the dirty world of Chicago politics. Unfortunately, “Pearson” failed to capture the same viewership as its predecessor and was canceled after just one season, consisting of ten episodes.
