With Suits coming to an end, USA Network is kicking off a spinoff — the Pearson TV show. Can it hang onto the Suits audience, and match or beat its Nielsen ratings, even after the older series ends? Will Pearson be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A USA Network political drama, Pearson stars Gina Torres, Morgan Spector, Bethany Joy Lenz, Simon Kassianides, Eli Goree, Isabel Arraiza, and Chantel Riley, DB Woodside, and Betsy Brandt. The story centers on Jessica Pearson (Torres) who, after being disbarred, left New York City for the rough and tumble world of Chicago politics. Now she serves as the fixer for the Windy City’s working-class Mayor Bobby Novak (Spector), who is up for reelection. Jessica is just trying to reconcile her competitive nature and desire to win with her goal of doing the right thing.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the Pearson TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season on USA Network?
*11/1/19 update: USA Network has cancelled the Pearson series so there won’t be a second season.
like the series BUT I find Jessica’s family a bit annoying….their is pride in taking care of yourself and being a mean and hateful for the help does not make sense. The cast does a great job and story lines are good.
Please don’t cancel it I like her character a strong woman in a man’s world. She didn’t have to sleep her way to the top and just as a man wants people to fear him it is nice to see a man fear a woman every once in awhile plus trying to get her family back together.
I love this series. PLEASE renew it.
Really like Pearson. Please renew it
Love the series.
I loved Gina Torres in Suits, but Pearson is horrible. Terrible storylines, bad casting and too much emphasis on Pearson’s family. I watched two episodes, no more.
…..and before someone says that I am prejudice…think again. I really liked Gina Torres in: Firefly/Serenity, Alias, and Suits!!!! Big fan of hers! Just NOT in Pearson because Pearson is a horrible show!
tried watching tonight – giving it another chance……big mistake. take it out back and shoot it. worst than ever
Gotta go. Characters are ridiculous.
Great show. Love it.
If the series was a little less irritating, it’d substitute as a “suitable” sleep aid. Cancel, apply salt, and burn.
I wasn’t a viewer of Suits at the time of the Pearson character so she’s brand new to me. Think the show could develop an interesting premise, but jeez am I tired of seeing her do her power walk. There’s a lot more to character development than a walk! Get the story going.
Looking forward to USA Treadstone! Looks like a Great Show!
Replace Pearson! Liked Pearson in Suits, but NOT in Pearson!!!!
very poor show….Trying to spin off of Suits but nothing like Suits and totally different target audience
Love the show, saw it by accident, now I’m a big fan of the series, hope USA don’t cancelled it.
It appears that Jessica’s appeal has been seriously over-estimated.
