‘The Rookie: North’ Ordered to Series — See Jay Ellis & Chris Sullivan
The 10-episode spinoff from creator Alexi Hawley will expand the franchise and set up crossover stories with the mothership series.
- ABC officially ordered the spinoff series 'The Rookie: North,' starring actor Jay Ellis, to production on Monday, May 11, 2026, marking the network's first new scripted series order for the 2026-27 season.
- Creator Alexi Hawley, who also helms the original series 'The Rookie,' serves as showrunner for this expansion; filmed in Vancouver, the drama is set in Washington state rather than the original's Los Angeles base.
- Ellis stars as Alex Holland, who joins the Pierce County Police Department as its oldest rookie after a violent home invasion ignites a dormant purpose and drives his career change.
- Hawley teased potential crossovers between the two series, though noted the geographic distance between the Pacific Northwest and Los Angeles presents challenges; original 'The Rookie' star Nathan Fillion executive produces both projects.
- The network previously aired 'The Rookie: Feds,' which was canceled in 2023 after one season, and this new order serves as the second spinoff in the franchise on ABC.
