The Rookie is an American police procedural crime drama television series created for ABC by Alexi Hawley. The series follows John Nolan, a man in his forties, who becomes the oldest rookie at the Los Angeles Police Department. The series is produced by ABC Studios and Entertainment One; it is based on real-life Los Angeles Police Department officer William Norcross, who moved to Los Angeles in 2015 and joined the department in his mid-40s.

The series stars Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin Jr., Mercedes Mason, Melissa O'Neil, Afton Williamson, Mekia Cox, Shawn Ashmore and Eric Winter. The Rookie premiered on October 16, 2018. The first season ran until April 16, 2019. The second season ran from September 29, 2019, to May 10, 2020. The third season ran from January 3 to May 16, 2021. In May 2021, the series was renewed for a fourth season, which premiered on September 26, 2021.

Premise [edit]

The series follows John Nolan, a forty-five-year-old newly divorced man from Pennsylvania, former owner of a construction company and father of a son in college, who, after inadvertently helping police officers during a bank robbery, 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 and is determined to make it in his new career despite the challenges.[2]

Series lead Nathan Fillion stated during an interview 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.[3] The man whose story inspired the premise of the show was later revealed to be Bill Norcross, who continues to serve in the LAPD and also as executive producer on The Rookie.[4]

Episodes [edit]

Cast and characters [edit]

Main [edit]

  • Nathan Fillion as John Nolan: The oldest rookie (Police Officer II) at the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), he is assigned to the Wilshire Division.[2] He studied law at Pennsylvania State University but dropped out and went into the construction business upon learning that Sarah, his girlfriend and later wife, was pregnant. At the age of 45, Nolan closed his construction company in Pennsylvania and moved out west to become a police officer. He is divorced with a 19-year-old son, Henry, who is a freshman in college. At the start of the third season, Nolan's chances of future promotion to detective are compromised as a result of his unauthorized investigation into corrupt cop Nick Armstrong, so he decides instead to work towards becoming a training officer himself.
  • Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez: An LAPD detective (Detective I). She is assigned as the training officer to Jackson West, who unintentionally threatens her hopes of becoming a detective. Although she gives West a hard time, Lopez also looks out for him. She becomes engaged to defense attorney Wesley Evers in season two, and is promoted to detective (Detective I) at the beginning of season 3, following the death of Nick Armstrong.[5] She discovers that she is pregnant with her and Wesley's first child in the season three premiere. She is kidnapped by drug lord La Fiera at her wedding and taken to Guatemala, but is soon rescued by her colleagues and Wesley. She later has a baby boy whom she names after West, who died trying to save her from being kidnapped.
  • Richard T. Jones as Wade Grey: A sergeant (Sergeant II) and watch commander at the Wilshire Station. Grey initially believes that Nolan may changing career because of a possible midlife crisis and doubts that he is suitable for police work, but later sees his potential. Grey served in the United States Army prior to joining the LAPD. He has a daughter who is planning to go to college in the fall.[6]
  • Titus Makin Jr. as Jackson West (seasons 1–3):[7] [8] An eager, if somewhat naive, rookie (Police Officer II) and the son of Commander West, head of the LAPD's Internal Affairs Division. Top of his class at the Police Academy, he is firmly committed to the LAPD and strives to be the best officer he can as he wants to maintain his family's traditions. West is shocked by some of the realities of police work and freezes whenever shootings occur. As a result, he is nearly thrown out of the training program by Bradford. He eventually overcomes his fears and is able to move past the shootings. He is a close friend of Nolan and Chen and becomes the latter's roommate when he is forced to move out of his apartment after arresting his landlord. When Angela is promoted to detective, his new T.O., Doug Stanton, is eventually revealed to be a racist with outdated views on dealing with gangs, forcing West to work with Grey to expose him. West is openly gay. In the season 4 premiere, West is shown to have been shot and killed while struggling to save Detective Lopez from abduction by La Fiera. Lopez later names her and Wesley's son after him in his honor.
  • Mercedes Mason as Zoe Andersen (season 1; guest season 3): Nolan's confident and irreverent commanding officer,[9] Captain Andersen used to be a Marine, serving with the military police. After leaving the Corps, she spent a year with the United States Pentagon Police Criminal Investigations Directorate before joining the LAPD. Because of her prior experience, Andersen has risen up the ranks very quickly, to the point where some of her officers see her more as a boss than a fellow officer. Unlike Grey, she takes Nolan under her wing, believing that his life experiences will benefit the department. She is killed late in the first season while protecting Nolan from an attempt on his life by a gang boss.
  • Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen: An ambitious rookie (Police Officer II) who struggles to prove herself to Tim Bradford, her training officer. She is 29 years old and her parents are psychologists who remain opposed to her choice of career. During training, she briefly has a romantic relationship with Nolan, but they eventually break up by mutual consent because they know it is against the rules. She is close to Nolan and West and often spends time with them while not on duty. After completing her training, Chen is partnered with West and later undergoes training to become an undercover officer.[10]
  • Afton Williamson as Talia Bishop (season 1): A newly promoted training officer (Police Officer III) whose first assignment is Nolan. Ambitious, she tries hard to make detective and hopes to eventually work her way up to chief of police. Near the end of the first season, Bishop is revealed to have lied about having an ex-con foster brother in order to get into the police academy. She does not return for the second season, as she has moved on to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) rather than face a possibly stalled career in the LAPD.[11] [12]
  • Eric Winter as Tim Bradford: A strict, no-nonsense training officer (Police Officer III/Sergeant I). He is assigned Chen as a rookie and gives her a hard time, but treats her fairly. He used to be a Marine squad leader who served in Iraq and Afghanistan before joining the LAPD. He was once married to Isabel Bradford, a fellow police officer, but her drug addiction eventually caused their marriage to fall apart. Later in the first season, he ends his relationship with Isabel entirely once she succeeds in breaking her drug habit, as he believes this will be best for both of them. He starts dating social services agent Rachel Hall in the second season after losing a bet to Chen, but the relationship ends when Rachel takes up a job offer in New York and Bradford is unwilling to interrupt his career progression by transferring to the NYPD. He is promoted to Sergeant I for his role in the rescue of Lopez.[11]
  • Mekia Cox as Nyla Harper (season 2–present): Nolan's new training officer (Police Detective I), a tough, experienced detective who is leaving behind four years of undercover work so that she can return to patrol work. She is doing this to become more of a presence in her daughter's life and to bolster her chances in her fight with her ex-husband for joint custody of their daughter.[13]
  • Shawn Ashmore as Wesley Evers (season 3–present; recurring seasons 1–2): A defense lawyer with whom Lopez initially clashes but later starts dating. The two become engaged near the end of the second season.

West and Grey gather evidence against Stanton via his body cam for this, leading to his suspension from the force pending termination. Stanton manages to get his termination reversed on appeal and is eventually reinstated, though at the cost of his TO status and loss of seniority.

She at first forms a civil relationship with Lopez, but after her son Diego is murdered by the son of a rival drug lord for attempting to fold his family's organization into hers, she vengefully attempts to have the son's own child killed in revenge. When this is foiled by the LAPD, she has Lopez and West abducted from the former's wedding; her men murder the latter for resisting and she wisks the former away to Guatemala, intending to keep Lopez alive until she gives birth to her child and then kill her and raise the child as her own.

Production [edit]

Development [edit]

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,[2] and premiered on October 16, 2018.[37] On November 5, 2018, The Rookie was picked up for full season of 20 episodes.[38] On May 10, 2019, ABC renewed the series for a second season which premiered on September 29, 2019.[39] [40] On October 28, 2019, the series received a full season order of 20 episodes for the second season.[41]

On May 21, 2020, ABC renewed the series for a third season which premiered on January 3, 2021.[42] [43] On May 14, 2021, ABC renewed the series for a fourth season, which is set to premiere on September 26, 2021.[44] [45]

Casting [edit]

With the series order in October 2017, Fillion was cast as John Nolan.[2] On February 7, 2018, Afton Williamson and Eric Winter were cast as Talia Bishop and Tim Bradford, respectively.[11] They were shortly followed by Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen,[10] Richard T. Jones as Sergeant Wade Grey,[6] Titus Makin as Jackson West,[7] Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez,[5] and Mercedes Mason as Captain Zoe Andersen.[9]

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.[46] On October 2, 2019, Mekia Cox joined the cast as a new series regular, Nyla Harper, for the second season.[13]

Filming [edit]

In January 2018, Liz Friedlander signed on to direct and executive produce the pilot.[47] Production on the pilot began on March 7, 2018,[48] with filming taking place in Los Angeles, Oxnard, Burbank and New York City.[49] 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 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.[50] 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.[51] Prior to the ban, the series occasionally used quarter or half rounds on large outdoor set pieces.[52] 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.[53]

On-set misconduct and harassment allegations [edit]

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 had left the series due to having "experienced racial discrimination/racially charged inappropriate comments from the hair department."[12] 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.[54]

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.[55] 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.[56]
