Blair Underwood is set to return to the McKenzie Brackman law firm as attorney Jonathan Rollins for a sequel to hit legal drama L.A. Law.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC is currently developing the project. The official description says, “Rollins has grown more conservative over the years and now clashes with a younger attorney over the direction of McKenzie Brackman, which focuses on high-profile, boundary-pushing cases.”
