"Suits" has announced its winter premiere date and in less than three months viewers will find out how the legal drama will move forward without Jessica, the character essayed by Gina Torres.

The sixth season of Suits will resume Wednesday, Jan. 25. The winter premiere will pick up right after the midseason cliffhanger, that left Pearson Specter Litt in the hands of managing partners Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) and Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman).

The pair is forced to put aside their professional ambitions and personal animosities in an effort to come together to keep their struggling firm afloat after the departure of Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres). Now more than ever, they will rely on the wit and intuition of Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty) and Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle), their most trusted advisers, to keep them on track.

Finally reunited with Rachel, Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) re-adjusts to life outside of prison and navigates the reality that he is no longer a lawyer. Meanwhile, love is in the air following Louis' proposal to his pregnant girlfriend, Tara (Carly Pope).

Patrick J. Adams, who plays Mike on the series, directed the winter premiere. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor said that the episode is setting the viewers off "on this path of what's next for everybody."

"Mike is desperately searching for where he's going to fit next and realizing that even though he's paid the price and done his time that it's still something that's going to get in the way of him accomplishing his dreams now. He can't really shake the fact that he was sent to prison," Adams said of what fans can expect from his character in episode 11. "It's a great episode."

The series from Universal Cable Productions was created by Aaron Korsh, who executive produces with Doug Liman, David Bartis, Gene Klein, Daniel Arkin and Rick Muirragui. Check out the teaser above for the remainder of Season 6, which so far is averaging 3.5MM total viewers in Live+7, according to Deadline.

The long-running series has already been renewed for season 7, which is expected to air in 2017. "Suits" returns Wednesday, Jan. 25 at 10 p.m. ET on USA Network.
