The Rookie: Feds season 1 — next episode info, cast and everything we know about the spinoff series

The Rookie: Feds is finally on primetime!

When The Rookie viewers got to see Niecy Nash-Betts star as FBI Trainee Simone Clark during season 4 of the show, they instantly gravitated toward her familiar story. Like Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) in the series, Simone was bold and decided to make a pivot in her career a little later in life. With The Rookie fan base behind her, Simone was propelled to her own spinoff series, The Rookie: Feds.

Now that show creator Alexi Hawley is adding another crime procedural to his resume, it will be interesting to see if his name becomes further synonymous with the genre like his legendary counterpart Dick Wolf.

Here’s everything we know about The Rookie: Feds season 1.
