The network seems super happy with it. You never know until you know but we have a really amazing cast, led by Jay Ellis who\u2019s a star; it was a joy to make that with him and the rest of them. You know me, I\u2019m just an optimistic person in general, so I\u2019m hopeful and optimistic that we could be talking about that in the near future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Even though <em>The Rookie:<\/em> <em>Feds <\/em>only ran for one season, <em>The Rookie <\/em>is still staying strong. Obviously, ABC still wants to expand the universe, otherwise it wouldn\u2019t have ordered a pilot for <em>The Rookie: North <\/em>in the first place.

However, you never know how things could turn out, but Hawley seems somewhat confident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Unlike its predecessors, <em>The Rookie: North <\/em>is set in Washington state. It still follows someone who is the oldest rookie in his police department, played by Ellis, but it is not set in some big city. But that\u2019s what\u2019s so great about it, as Hawley explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">[There was] also the idea that this is not just another big-city cop show, that we have three different zones. It\u2019s meant to be Tacoma, the suburbs, and then the middle of nowhere, meth lab in the woods-type thing. [The setting] really does feel different than L.A., it really does change the dynamic of the show, even though the setup is the same, patrol officers running around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/zq5WT5z4S0ptySkzUme93g--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTk2MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/dca0b3b1e47cd89b6f39f4c48607a1ee\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/shopping.yahoo.com\/rdlw?merchantId=85d85ef3-fac9-418f-9573-418cf162cd0c&amp;siteId=us-y4p&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;contentUuid=e82d7b67-d9e2-352f-a56b-ead6b671b6ea&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Disney%2B&amp;linkText=Disney%2B+%2B+Hulu+Bundle%3A+From+%2412.99+A+Month&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5kaXNuZXlwbHVzLmNvbS93ZWxjb21lL2Rpc25leS1odWx1LWVzcG4tYnVuZGxlIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJlODJkN2I2Ny1kOWUyLTM1MmYtYTU2Yi1lYWQ2YjY3MWI2ZWEiLCJvcmlnaW5hbFVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmRpc25leXBsdXMuY29tL3dlbGNvbWUvZGlzbmV5LWh1bHUtZXNwbi1idW5kbGUifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAT9n-K4hAlACwMp_DOvzALbdSPNbcoVAEMkcjS3qD2-p&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2Fwelcome%2Fdisney-hulu-espn-bundle&amp;refurl=entertainment-supernovaForYouNwapi&amp;spaceId=1197800334\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" class=\"link  rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link\" data-i13n=\"elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Disney+;elmt:\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Disney+ + Hulu Bundle: From $12.99 A Month;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Disney+;elmt:;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;affiliate_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;ySellerName&quot;:&quot;Disney+&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Disney+ + Hulu Bundle&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:true}\"><strong>Disney+ + Hulu Bundle: From $12.99 A Month<\/strong><\/a><br \/>You can stream ABC&#8217;s hits, like <em>The Rookie,<\/em> on Hulu.

So it would be nice to see one taking place out in the suburbs, or at least a big city that isn\u2019t used as often. The different setting sets <em>The Rookie: North <\/em>apart from <em>The Rookie<\/em>, too, while also staying in the same universe. And this all just makes me hope even more that someday we&#8217;ll be able to see it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The wait is going to be excruciating as ABC continues making decisions for next season. The network still has to make decisions on a few more shows on its current lineup, and also keep some space open for potential new ones, <em>The Rookie: North <\/em>included. But since ABC seems to like it, there\u2019s a possibility that <em>The Rookie <\/em>might be joined by another spinoff next season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Hopefully, news will be announced soon, but in the meantime, new episodes of <em>The Rookie <\/em>air on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on ABC, streaming the next day with a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/subscribing-hulu-price-included-everything-203141919.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Hulu subscription;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Hulu subscription&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Hulu subscription<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
