Starring: Josh Lucas, Juliette Lewis, Callum Keith Rennie, Molly Parker, Natasha Calis

What It's about: Need a new NBC legal drama with the "Law & Order" franchise disappearing before your eyes? Thankfully, "The Firm," based on John Grisham's best-selling novel, is an antidote. Lucas stars as attorney Mitchell McDeere (the role originated by Tom Cruise in the 1993 film version) in the series, which picks up McDeere's story about a decade after the novel and film left. Since we left him, Mitchell has had a difficult time, working at a firm that operated as a front for the Chicago mob. And now, he's out of the Federal Witness Protect program and trying to evade new threats and haunting past dangers.

Series previews Sun., Jan. 8, 9 p.m. EST; series premieres Thurs., Jan. 12, 10 p.m. EST on NBC
