It'll be good to see Fillion back on the screen!Castle and Firefly star Nathan Fillion is heading back to ABC to star in The Rookie, according to Deadline. The light crime drama will also be executive produced by Fillion. The Rookie has gotten a straight-to-series order from the network. The show comes to us from The Mark Gordon Company and ABC Studios. Fillion will be working once again with Castle executive producer and co-showrunner Alexi Hawley on the series.
Hawley and Fillion will executive produce The Rookie with Mark Gordon and Nicholas Pepper from The Mark Gordon Company as well as Michelle Chapman and Jon Steinberg. The show will be written by Hawley.
The Rookie is reportedly inspired by a true story. Fillion will play John Nolan, the oldest rookie in the LAPD. At an age where most are at the peak of their career, Nolan cast aside his comfortable, small town life and moved to L.A. to pursue his dream of being a cop. Now, surrounded by rookies twenty years his junior, Nolan must navigate the dangerous, humorous and unpredictable world of a young cop, determined to make his second shot at life count.
