Season 8 of \u201cThe Rookie\u201d kicks off in Prague, and one cast member fell ill while filming in the Czech capital.<\/p>\n

Series star Nathan Fillion (John Nolan) told People<\/a> that while he and his costars had an \u201cincredible time\u201d shooting abroad, Bridget Regan (Monica Stevens) got food poisoning and \u201cspent a little time in the hospital.\u201d <\/p>\n

Regan reflected on the harrowing experience in a statement shared with Entertainment Weekly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking in Prague on \u2018The Rookie\u2019 was extraordinary, though I was a bit unlucky and got hit with some truly nasty food poisoning. Thanks to the incredible care of the hospital staff in Prague, our phenomenal on-set medic, and a whole lot of fluids and meds, I was patched up enough to get back on my feet,\u201d the actress said.<\/p>\n

Regan noted that she felt \u201cdeeply looked after\u201d during her time in Prague and thanked Fillion and Jenna Dewan, who plays Fillion\u2019s wife Bailey Nune, for \u201cbeing so kind, generous and supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018Rookie\u2019 family is a family in every sense,\u201d Regan added.<\/p>\n

Season 8 of \u201cThe Rookie\u201d premieres on Tuesday, Jan. 6. The police procedural focuses on Fillion\u2019s character, who joins the Los Angeles Police Department in his 40s after going through a divorce. <\/p>\n

Regan has portrayed attorney\/criminal Monica Stevens since season 5. Last season, Monica secured an immunity deal that involves helping the LAPD. Fillion told People that it \u201cfrustrates Nolan to no end\u201d that he has to work with \u201csomeone so criminal\u201d and \u201cso smug.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a sense of, \u2018You can\u2019t get rid of me,\u2019 and, \u2018I\u2019m untouchable and now I have an immunity deal, so you can\u2019t do anything about it.\u2019 And we essentially, in the first episode, are babysitting her,\u201d he shared. \u201cThe story line is we have to go to make sure she does what she\u2019s supposed to do and help us here, which of course goes wrong in lots of different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
