‘The Rookie’ Meets ‘9-1-1’ in ABC’s New Crime Thriller Series From ‘Jack Ryan’ Showrunner

ABC has had quite the potent one-two punch of emergency services procedurals in recent years thanks to The Rookie and 9-1-1. Even as new series like High Potential and Will Trent have made their mark as ratings darlings, the two series have been reliable fan favorites on the network heading into their ninth and tenth seasons, respectively. Both have busy years ahead of them, with the former eyeing a midseason return that will introduce some new key characters in John Nolan’s (Nathan Fillion) story as well as the new spin-off, The Rookie North, while the latter premieres this fall alongside Season 2 of its spin-off, 9-1-1: Nashville, with some big crossover plans in the works. Still, the Disney-owned broadcaster is currently eyeing another addition to its procedural roster.
