NBC has released an exclusive interview with best-selling author John Grisham ("The Pelican Brief," "The Client") who talks about taking his novel THE FIRM from the big screen to television. NBC's new series THE FIRM is premiering this Sunday, January 8th.

THE FIRM continues the story of attorney Mitchell McDeere and his family 10 years after the events of the film and novel. As a young associate, McDeere brought down the prestigious Memphis law firm of Bendini, Lambert & Locke, which operated as a front for the Chicago mob -- and his life was never the same. After a difficult decade, which included a stay in the Federal Witness Protection program, Mitch and his family now emerge from isolation to reclaim their lives and their future -- only to find that past dangers are still lurking and new threats are everywhere.

THE FIRM is produced by Entertainment One in association with Sony Pictures Television and Paramount Pictures. The executive producers are Grisham, Lukas Reiter ("Law & Order," "Boston Legal"), John Morayniss ("Haven," "Hung"), Michael Rosenberg ("Hung," "Skins") and Noreen Halpern ("Rookie Blue," "Hung").

The two-hour series premiere of THE FIRM will air on Sunday, January 8th at 9/8c on the NBC Network.
