ABC Bets on The Rookie: North with Jay Ellis as Its Veteran Rookie

ABC has ordered The Rookie: North to series, starring Jay Ellis as Alex Holland—the Pierce County Police Department’s oldest rookie—after a home invasion triggers a renewed purpose. The Rookie spinoff, created by Alexi Hawley who directed the pilot, is produced by Hawley with Nathan Fillion as an executive producer and star; Lionsgate Television and 20th Television will handle the production. It marks the second The Rookie spinoff after The Rookie: Feds, which was canceled after one season in 2023. The project was greenlit ahead of Disney’s upfronts, with The Rookie itself renewed for Season 9 after concluding its eighth season. The series will follow Alex Holland policing from urban coastlines to rural forests as he proves to his training officer, fellow rookies, and himself that he’s worthy of the fight.
