L.A. Law & Blair Underwood Are Coming Back To ABC
Written by Site Hub on December 18, 2020
It looks like ABC is making an L.A. Law sequel series with Blair Underwood which ran on its rival, NBC from 1986 – 1994.
Underwood will be coming back and playing his former role as Jonathan Rollins, attorney at law. The series is being written by Marc Guggenheim and Ubah Mohammed with Anthony Hemmingway directing.
From Variety:
“In this new take on “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. Sources 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.”
As the show is just now entering production, an air date has not yet been determined.
