‘The Rookie: North’ Pilot Adds 5 to Series Regular Cast

The Rookie: North is rounding out its cast.

According to Deadline, five actors have been added as series regulars for the pilot of the new Rookie spinoff.

Starring Jay Ellis and Chris Sullivan, The Rookie: North follows Ellis’ Alex Holland, “who believed his midlife wasn’t worthy of a crisis. But after a violent home invasion ignites a dormant purpose, Alex battles a lifetime of failed commitments in Los Angeles by joining the Pierce County Police Department in Washington as its oldest rookie. Policing from the urban coast to the rural forest, where backup isn’t just five minutes away, Alex must prove to his skeptical training officer, his fellow rookies, and himself that he’s finally found something worthy of the fight.”

Filming on the stand-alone pilot will begin this month in Vancouver. The series comes from The Rookie creator Alexi Hawley, who serves as the writer and executive producer through his Perfectman Pictures. The Rookie star Nathan Fillion, Mark Gordon, Bill Norcross, and Michelle Chapman also serve as EPs on The Rookie: North, which is produced by Lionsgate and 20^th Television.
