Sold to over 180 territories worldwide and hailed by The Hollywood Reporter as “ABC’s most in demand new show,” The Rookie is a character-driven police procedural featuring universal themes of starting over, a diverse supporting cast, and a stellar line-up of creative talent.
Inspired by a true story, The Rookie is created by Showrunner and Executive Producer Alexi Hawley (Castle, The Following) and stars Nathan Fillion (Castle, Firefly) as John Nolan, the oldest rookie in the LAPD.
The pair are reunited for the first time since the 4-time Emmy®-nominated and fan- favourite series Castle, which ran for 8 seasons on ABC (USA) and remains one of the most successful and widely- aired international series. The series is also executive produced by Mark Gordon (Designated Survivor, Grey’s Anatomy, Ray Donovan).
