Overview
- ABC greenlit the spinoff Monday ahead of Disney’s Tuesday upfronts, marking the franchise’s second offshoot after The Rookie: Feds’ one-season run.
- Jay Ellis stars as Alex Holland, who becomes the oldest rookie at Washington’s Pierce County Police Department after a violent home invasion reshapes his path.
- Creator Alexi Hawley wrote and directed the pilot and will serve as showrunner, with Lionsgate Television partnering with 20th Television to produce.
- Nathan Fillion will appear as John Nolan in the pilot, and Hawley said crossovers could span two or three episodes a season though separate Los Angeles and Vancouver shoots limit frequency.
- Set in the Pacific Northwest and filming in Vancouver, the 10-episode series features Chris Sullivan, Karen Fukuhara, Froy Gutierrez, Janet Montgomery, Mya Lowe and Malik Watson.
