The Rookie: Feds

The Rookie is an American police procedural television series created by Alexi Hawley for ABC. The series stars Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin Jr., Melissa O'Neil, Afton Williamson, Mekia Cox, Shawn Ashmore, and Eric Winter. It follows John Nolan, a man in his forties, who becomes the oldest rookie at the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). It is based on real-life LAPD officer William Norcross, who moved to Los Angeles in 2015 and joined the department in his mid-40s.

Produced by 20th Television and Lionsgate Television, The Rookie premiered on October 16, 2018. In April 2024, the series was renewed for a seventh season which is set to premiere on January 7, 2025.

Premise

The series follows John Nolan, a 45-year-old newly divorced man from Pennsylvania, who, nine months after helping police officers during a bank robbery in his hometown, Foxburg, moves to Los Angeles to pursue a new career as a police officer in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). After graduating from the Police Academy as the oldest rookie on the force, Nolan must navigate the dangerous, unpredictable nature of his job. He is determined to make it in his new career despite the challenges.[1]

During an interview, the series lead Nathan Fillion said that the drama was inspired by a true story as the LAPD is one of just two agencies that accepts new officers over the age of 37.[2] The man whose story inspired the premise of the show was later revealed to be Bill Norcross, a college friend of executive producer Jon Steinberg, who based the show on his story. Norcross continues to serve in the LAPD and also as executive producer on The Rookie.[3]

Production

Development

On October 26, 2017, ABC announced a straight-to-series order for The Rookie, starring Castle star Nathan Fillion, and written by Castle executive producer and co-showrunner Alexi Hawley. Fillion and Hawley serve as executive producers, along with Mark Gordon, Nicholas Pepper, Michelle Chapman, and Jon Steinberg. The series is produced by ABC Studios and The Mark Gordon Company,[1] and premiered on October 16, 2018.[29] On November 5, 2018, The Rookie was picked up for full season of 20 episodes.[30] On May 10, 2019, ABC renewed the series for a second season which premiered on September 29, 2019.[31][32] On October 28, 2019, the series received a full season order of 20 episodes for the second season.[33]

On May 21, 2020, ABC renewed the series for a third season which premiered on January 3, 2021.[34][35] On May 14, 2021, ABC renewed the series for a fourth season, which premiered on September 26, 2021.[36][37] On March 30, 2022, ABC renewed the series for a fifth season which premiered on September 25, 2022.[38][39] On April 17, 2023, ABC renewed the series for a sixth season which premiered on February 20, 2024.[40][41] On February 17, 2024, executive producer and showrunner Alexi Hawley confirmed in an interview with TVLine that the sixth season would contain ten episodes.[42] On April 15, 2024, ABC renewed the series for a seventh season which is scheduled to premiere on January 7, 2025.[43][44]

Casting

With the series order in October 2017, Fillion was cast as John Nolan.[1] On February 7, 2018, Afton Williamson and Eric Winter were cast as Talia Bishop and Tim Bradford, respectively.[45] They were shortly followed by Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen,[46] Richard T. Jones as Sergeant Wade Grey,[47] Titus Makin as Jackson West,[4] Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez,[48] and Mercedes Mason as Captain Zoe Andersen.[6]

On August 4, 2019, it was announced that Williamson would not be returning for the second season due to the alleged racial discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault she suffered during the first season.[49] On October 2, 2019, Mekia Cox joined the cast as a new series regular, Nyla Harper, for the second season.[50]

Filming

In January 2018, Liz Friedlander signed on to direct and executive produce the pilot.[51] Production on the pilot began on March 7, 2018,[52] with filming taking place in Los Angeles, Oxnard, Burbank and New York City.[53] On April 15, 2021, police received a call of a possible shooting while filming was taking place between Hartford Avenue and West 5th Street in Los Angeles. Three gunshots were heard by various eyewitnesses, and the production crew confirmed that no one from the show was injured during the incident. Filming in the area was shut down as a result of the reports, but filming continued at other already scheduled locations.[54] Following the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on October 21, 2021, on the set of the film Rust, live weapons were banned from The Rookie while filming.[55] Prior to the ban, the series occasionally used quarter or half rounds on large outdoor set pieces.[56] Showrunner Alexi Hawley stated that "any risk is too much risk" and explained that, going forward, only airsoft guns would be used, with muzzle flashes being added in post production using computer-generated imagery.[57]

On-set misconduct and harassment allegations

On July 26, 2019, TVLine reported that Afton Williamson, who portrays Talia Bishop, would not be returning for the second season. While the outlet initially claimed that the split was amicable, Williamson, in a lengthy Instagram post, stated that she left the series due to having "experienced racial discrimination/racially charged inappropriate comments from the hair department."[58] Williamson also alleged that she was sexually harassed by guest star Demetrius Grosse, who portrays Kevin Wolfe in a recurring role, as well as an incident of bullying that escalated into sexual assault at a party; the head of the hair department was identified as Sallie Ciganovich. Williamson claimed that she had gone to the showrunners multiple times with these allegations, but was ignored.[59]

Everyone involved in the allegations denied them. An investigation was commissioned through the law firm Mitchell Sillerberg and Knupp along with a third-party firm, EXTTI, which conducted nearly 400 hours of interviews and examined video and other evidence.[60] The results of the investigation were published on September 17, 2019, which found that the allegations made by Williamson had no merit and could not be proven. Williamson stood by her claims, calling the results of the investigation "heartbreaking" and postulated that the producers had lied to cover up the truth of what happened.[61]

Spin-offs

Main article: The Rookie: Feds

On February 8, 2022, ABC ordered a pilot for a planned FBI spin-off of the series starring Niecy Nash. It was introduced in a two-episode backdoor pilot during Season 4.[87] On March 9, 2022, Kat Foster and Felix Solis joined the cast of the spin-off.[88] Also that month, Frankie Faison joined the cast.[28] On May 13, 2022, ABC gave a series order under the title The Rookie: Feds.[89] It was then reported that the series had undergone creative tweaks that cut Foster's character, Special Agent Casey Fox.[90] In June 2022, Britt Robertson, Kevin Zegers and James Lesure joined the cast as series regulars.[91][92][93] The Rookie: Feds aired from September 27, 2022 to May 2, 2023.[39] The Rookie: Feds was canceled on November 9, 2023, after one season as a consequence of the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.[94]

On December 5, 2024, it was reported that a second spin-off series was in development.[95] The series would be set in Washington state and center around a "male cop who is stepping into a new phase of life in his second act."[96] Created by Hawley, the program would be executive produced by Hawley, Fillion, Norcross, and Chapman. It will be co-produced by Lionsgate Television and 20th Television.[97]
