A good series will continue to do well (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'continue to do well' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'a good series' is the wordplay.
'a good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'series' becomes 'row' (I've seen this before).
'g'+'row'='GROW'

'will' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grow that I've seen before include "Gain in size" , "Expand" , "Increase in size" , "Burgeon" , "Become bigger" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
