We have details on the spin-off series that revolves around Sue Heck, the adorkable middle daughter of the Heck family of The Middle.
ABC confirmed Monday what had been revealed by Eden Sher at San Diego ComicCon: that a pilot was in the works for the continuation of the Sue Heck saga. Additionally, we now know what the premise of the new series will be, according to TVLine. Sue is heading to Chicago for her young adult years, eager to pursue a career and make her own way.
The spinoff will probably take place before the flash-forward during the series finale of The Middle last May. The finale saw Sue marrying handsome neighbor Sean Donahue, son of the Donahue family with whom the Hecks had had a years-long rivalry.
No word yet on who will make an appearance in the new series—but not including Brad, Sue’s flamboyant best friend, in it would be a big mistake.
