‘The Rookie’ Spin-off Gets Pilot Order From ABC

The popular ABC series The Rookie is expanding with a new spin-off! Announced last year, The Rookie: North is officially in development, as the network has ordered a pilot episode.

Following the success of The Rookie, which premiered in 2018 and has become a hugely popular police drama, a new spin-off called The Rookie: North is coming soon. Jay Ellis will star as the lead, playing another new police officer who joins the Pierce County Police Department after experiencing a home invasion. Viewers may recognize Ellis from his roles in Top Gun: Maverick, the series Insecure, and the film All Her Fault. Here’s a look at what The Rookie: North is about…

However, after a frightening home invasion awakens a hidden drive, he decides to join the Pierce County Police Department as their oldest new recruit. He’ll face challenges policing areas ranging from the city to the countryside, where help isn’t always close by, and will need to prove to his trainer, his fellow rookies, and himself that he’s finally found a purpose worth fighting for.
