Gina Torres, 47, who played Pearson in the show for six seasons, would reprise her role in the other project that is in works at Universal Cable Productions, confirmed The Hollywood Reporter.
This development comes after Torres' departure from "Suits" midway through season six, citing personal reasons.
However, sources say the deal is in its nascent stage and USA Network has not yet been pitched the potential offshoot. It is being said no deals are currently in place.
Both USA Network and UCP declined comment.
