Nathan Fillion talking to someone in The Rookie
One of ABC's most successful procedural shows, The Rookie, now has another spin-off in the works at the network, but the track record for the franchise casts doubt on its success. The initial Rookie spin-off, The Rookie: Feds, aired in 2022, but only lasted one season before it was canceled. The Rookie and The Rookie: Feds both follow characters looking for their second act and joining law enforcement in middle age.
The New Show Needs To Be Able To Stand Alone, Not Relying Only On The Rookie Fans The Second Spin-Off Shouldn't Use Another Backdoor Pilot Close ✕ Remove Ads In order for this new The Rookie spin-off to really hold its own, it needs to reach and stand out to a wider audience.The Rookie: Feds didn't get a normal one-episode pilot; instead, it got a backdoor pilot in The Rookie.
The Spin-Off Should Keep The Core Elements Of The Rookie That Work The Character Dynamics Are Key Close One staple aspect of The Rookie that works really well is that it follows an ensemble of characters in law enforcement in L.A. A wider cast allows for characters of different backgrounds and contrasting work ethics to come together.
Having these kinds of characters only works if there is a location where they would realistically interact with one another. The Rookie: Feds taking place in the FBI makes it harder to get the characters into silly shenanigans since they are held to a higher standard. Having the spin-off take place in another city's precinct will allow more off-beat characters to naturally exist together.
