Rochon also serves as an associate producer on the forthcoming spin-off, per the release.
“The Family Business” series is based on Weber’s New York Times best-selling crime drama series and follows the Duncans, an upstanding tight-knit family that, by day, owns and operates an exotic car dealership in New York. By night, their business activities are more illicit.
Per Deadline, “In the spinoff, when the New Orleans side of the Duncan family gets caught in a vicious turf war with corrupt politicians, dirty land developers, and ruthless crime bosses all vying for the family’s underground casino and night club business, they call on their relatives from New York to help wield their own brand of justice.”
The eight-episode series goes into production in March. The premiere date has not yet been announced.
