There's an L.A. LAW Sequel Series in Development at ABC
ABC is developing a sequel series for L.A. Law, which was a huge hit during its run on NBC from 1986 to 1994. I never watched the series growing up, but I remember my parents watching it. Networks must be really struggling with finding original content. There are a lot of series revivals like this being developed these days.
In this revival of L.A. Law, “McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney and Kuzak, the West Coast-based law firm at the heart of the original, is reinventing itself as a litigation firm specializing only in high profile, boundary pushing and incendiary cases.”
The report goes on to say that “Underwood’s character has changed from an idealistic figure to a more conservative one in the intervening years since the original. The sequel will see him clash with a millennial character named J.J. Freeman over the best path forward for the firm in effecting political and legal change.”
Blair Underwood is set to reprise his role as attorney Jonathan Rollins and the series is being written by Arrow co-creator Marc Guggenheim and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow scribe Ubah Mohamed. Anthony Hemingway is attached to direct. They will also all be executive producers on the project.
Have any of you watched L.A. Law? If so, what do you think of this sequel series being developed?
