Nathan Fillion is returning to ABC in a new series THE ROOKIE. Fillion plays small-town guy John Nolan who experiences a life-alterting incident, which prompts him to pursue his life-long dream of becoming an LAPD officer. But he’s the force’s oldest rookie cop and there’s a lot of people on the force who thinks he’s just experiencing a mid-life crisis and doesn’t think he’ll be able to keep up with the younger people on the force, not to mention the criminals he’ll be chasing. But John is determined to prove everyone wrong.
