Bad news for fans of The Rookie. The Rookie: Feds, a spin-off of the Nathan Fillion-led detective series, has been canceled by ABC and will therefore not have a second season. For several months, the fate of Nissi Nash’s fiction has been hanging in the balance. .
The writers’ and actors’ strike that paralyzed Hollywood for months and which finally ended last week actually delayed the channel’s decision to finally opt to stop paying and end The Rookie: Feds.
Launching in September 2022, The Rookie: Feds, the only one-hour series by a black actor, did not experience the success that ABC had hoped for, hoping to replicate The Rookie’s success.
Despite all that, the fiction managed to garner a respectable audience that, in normal times, would probably have warranted its 2nd season. The Rookie: The Feds suffered the consequences of the strike in spite of him.
Still unreleased in France, The Rookie: Feds follows Simon Clarke (played by Nissi Nash), an ex-counselor who decides to pursue his dreams of becoming an FBI agent, making him the agency’s oldest recruit.
Taking over comes with many challenges, with many doubting her abilities, including her boss, Special Agent Matthew Garza (Felix Solis). Frankie Faison (The Wire), James Lesser (Las Vegas), Britt Robertson (Under The Dome) and Kevin Zegers (Gossip Girl) also joined the cast of the detective series.
It’s not the only spin-off for the channel to be on strike after last week, ABC announced that The Good Lawyer spin-off series The Good Doctor will not see the light of day after all.
Created by Alex Hawley, who also helmed The Rookie: Feds, The Rookie remains, even after 5 seasons, one of ABC’s undisputed values. It was also renewed for a sixth season, which, like all other American fiction, had to be cut in half. The Rookie airs in France on M6. As of now, seasons 4 and 5 are still out.
