Where Is Suits’ Jessica Now And What Happened To The Actress After The Show's Finale?
She was easily one of the most powerful characters in the series.
Summary:
- Gina Torres got her own spinoff after leaving Suits.
- The actress was busy with many projects after the end of the legal drama.
- Suits fans loved her performance and are hoping she will come back for the new spinoff.
Almost every character from the now-famous show Suits went into obscurity for quite some time after the series finale. Of course, we are not talking about Meghan Markle's life twist, but turning into a princess is more the exception than the rule.
However, there was another female character who was much more important to the show. Yes, we are talking about Jessica Pearson, brilliantly portrayed by Gina Torres.
When she was cast in the show, she was already a well-known star and had a lot going on in television. But Suits seemed to boost her career even more.
However, she decided that it was time to leave the show three seasons prior to its finale. Gina's character moved to Chicago to pursue her career, but that's not how her story ends.
What Happened to Jessica After She Left the Company?
In 2019, Jessica Pearson got her own spinoff, which focused on her time in Chicago. The creators decided to air it at the same time as the final season of Suits, but unfortunately that didn't help the show gain much viewership.
However, it would be interesting for all Jessica fans to see her start a relatively new career in the mayor's office and get caught up in all sorts of legal backstabbing, corrupt politics, and so much more that comes with her new status.
Although the show was canceled after its first ten episodes, both fans and critics gave Torres' performance the best reviews.
What Was Torres Up To After Suits Finale?
Despite her popularity on television, the actress never really gave up movies. In 2019, Torres became a part of the teen movie Selah and the Spades, where she portrayed the mother of Selah. And despite the fact that she wasn't seen on screen as much as we'd like, the moments she was in the spotlight were pivotal to the whole story.
Gina Torres is a successful voice actress. She has appeared in sci-fi projects, but her voice has also ended up in various Disney movies. For two years, 20219 and 2020, Torres played Chatana from Elena of Avalor show.
Don't worry, it's not Torres' character who hit the rock bottom. But guess who the rival is? Yes, once again Torres gets to play that perfect intimidating woman you admire but secretly fear.
Another project of Torres these days is her recurring role in 9-1-1: Lone Star. The series premiered in 2020 and was greenlit for season 5 this May. She plays EMS Captain Tommy Vega and does an amazing job.
Torres has been really busy these last years after her brilliant time in Suits. However, we hope that she is not done with the legal drama genre, and if another Suits spinoff finally makes it to TV, maybe she could revisit her famous role.
