Nathan Fillion’s 8-Season Crime Thriller Gets Hit By Major Setback In Its Expansion Plans

Alexi Hawley is developing another spin-off of The Rookie, this time focusing on Jay Ellis’ character, Alex Holland, as he navigates a challenging midlife crisis and seeks a new direction in life. The idea is similar to Nathan Fillion’s journey as John Nolan in the original series – Alex will become the youngest rookie at the Pierce County Police Department in the Pacific Northwest. ABC has been considering The Rookie: North for weeks, but their silence, combined with a recent decision, is now casting doubt on whether the show will be picked up.
