ABC’s police procedural The Rookie is nearly back for its 5th season and, this year, the Nathan Fillion-led series will have some business. The franchise is broadening with the new spinoff, The Rookie: Feds, starring Niecy Nash. And ahead of the brand-new series launching and the season best of his own program, Fillion opened about the one issue he when had about the brand-new program after it got the greenlight.
To promote both Rookie reveals, Nathan Fillion and Niecy Nash spoke with each other in a friendly interrogation-like setting for EW. Nash asked the Suicide Squad star how he at first felt about her approaching program after it was revealed. While Fillion was thrilled, he was likewise a bit worried that it would imply his program would lose among its stars:
First, they state spin-off, and you go, ‘Oh my God, that’s such a terrific concept. We should be succeeding if we’re going to get a spin-off program.’ That’s the up. Then there’s a down. You go, ‘Wait a minute. Does that imply they’re going to take among our characters? They’re going to separate this little troop of ours? Are they going to break somebody off, and they’re going to spin that individual off into another program? Who do we lose?’ Then I began taking a look around at individuals like, who do I wish to lose? No, I didn’t do that.
It makes good sense that Nathan Fillion would be worried about parting methods with a cast member or 2 because that tends to takes place when television reveals generate spin-offs. For example, a scenario that’s taken place in the last few years would be The CW’s Riverdale losing Ashleigh Murray’s Josie McCoy to Katy Keene. But when it comes to The Rookie, that wasn’t implied to be the case.
When it was revealed that Feds would include an entire brand-new story and brand-new characters, the Firefly alum’s issue disappeared and was surpassed by large enjoyment, which grew much more when it was exposed that Nash would lead the spinoff:
But then I learnt that we’re not going to lose anyone. We’re going to present a brand-new character. And then we’re going to spin them off into their own program. And I believed, ‘That’s a terrific concept.’ And then, I learnt it was going to be you. I’ve currently fulfilled you, and I currently understand what you resemble, so you understand how I feel about that.
A two-part episode that aired throughout Season 4 acted as a backdoor pilot for the then-potential spinoff. At the time, there were lots of arguments to be made regarding why the Rookie spinoff should happen and, fortunately, ABC quickly greenlit the series. I’m thinking about seeing how things play out in the brand-new program and simply how Niecy Nash’s Simone will carry out in the lead.
While the moms and dad program won’t be losing any stars to Feds, there will be little crossovers occasionally. And despite the fact that it’s unidentified regarding whether this might become the next huge law enforcement-centered, television residential or commercial property, the existence of both of these programs on ABC’s fall 2022 schedule is evidence that fans are caring this growing franchise.
As for Season 5 of The Rookie, Nathan Fillion likewise just recently talked about how the title will still matter following Nolan’s career change, which now sees him working as a T.O. Fillion discussed that while Nolan is no longer a novice officer, he is now a novice training officer to a new character (played by a Chicago P.D. vet), so it works. With that, he can likely toss some recommendations Simone’s method given that we’ll most likely see the 2 of them collaborate once again quickly.
Since The Rookie: Feds is an FBI-centric spinoff, fans shouldn’t need to fret about anybody from OG series transferring to the sis program — unless among the characters makes a significant profession modification. So, in the meantime, everybody is remaining right where they are while the series broadens.
