The Rookie
While Alexi Hawley gained fame for creating The Rookie, his first notable role in television and film was with a screenplay writing credit for The Exorcist: The Beginning. Beyond the film, The Exorcist: The Beginning and television with The Rookie, Alexi Hawley was an executive producer on the Nathon Fillion-led Castle before it. The Rookie is a police procedural drama that stars Nathan Fillion as the oldest rookie in the Los Angeles Police Department and is based on the real-life events of a 40-year-old man with the same fate, William Norcross. So far, the Alexi Hawley series, The Rookie, has premiered four seasons, with the fifth season currently on air. The first season premiered in 2018, about two years after Castle ended its eighth season. Although some actors signed for a ninth season, it never came to be. While The Rookie aired its fifth season in September 2022 and will likely continue for a sixth season, the series also aired a two-episode back door pilot for a spinoff that aired this year as well, The Rookie: Feds, with some characters that were introduced in The Rookie.

The Rookie: Feds
While The Rookie: Feds only started in September 2022, it was already interesting straight out of the gate with its exciting cast and two-episode backdoor pilot within The Rookie that got fans hooked immediately. The main cast of The Rookie: Feds includes Niecy Nash-Betts, Frankie Faison, James Lesure, Britt Robertson, Felix Solis, and Kevin Zegers, with Michelle Nunez, Courtney Ford, and Jessica Betts as the reoccurring cast, with additional casting for guest and other characters for the Alexi Hawley series. Much like The Rookie, The Rookie: Feds follows Niecy Nash’s character, the oldest rookie to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation Academy, as she traverses the new job while dealing with the denial from her former FBI and current Black Lives Matter leader father. Like the lead in The Rookie was Nathan Fillion, with various entertainment appearances, Niecy Nash has appeared in many television series and movies. Her first most notable roles, at least that have held her unique blend of comedic drama, included Reno 911! and its films and spinoffs, Amerian Dad, Screen Queens, The Mindy Project, and many others since 1995, but most recently, Dahmer on Netflix and The Masked Singer as host while Nick Cannon recovered from COVID. The Rookie: Feds has already set their sights high with a second season with the cliffhanger given so far.
