ABC Develops New Spinoff of The Rookie

ABC is developing a new spinoff of its police procedural series, The Rookie, created by Alexi Hawley. This potential series will focus on a male police officer transitioning into a new phase of life, distinct from previous iterations like The Rookie: Feds, which was set in the FBI realm. The new show is set in Washington state, marking a departure from the Los Angeles backdrop of the original series. The Rookie has seen notable success on Hulu, with over 500 million hours viewed since its debut. Season 7 of The Rookie is scheduled to return on January 7, following a major cliffhanger from the previous season. ABC is looking to capitalize on the franchise's momentum as fans continue to engage with the original series.
