The Rookie: Feds Welcomes Britt Robertson as Spinoff Series Regular

With ABC's Niecy Nash-Betts (Simone Clark)-starring spinoff series set to premiere this fall, Deadline Hollywood is reporting exclusively that Britt Robertson (Big Sky) has joined the cast of The Rookie: Feds as a series regular. Joining Nash-Betts and Robertson on the series are Frankie Faison as Christopher "Cutty" Clark and Felix Solis as Special Agent Matthew Garza. Kat Foster's Special Agent Casey Fox is not moving over from the backdoor pilot to the series. Robertson's Laura Stensen is the "black sheep" of a family of brilliant academics and the youngest person ever allowed into the FBI's behavioral analysis unit. But after discovering her boyfriend had been cheating on her with her best friend, Laura fell into a slump – how could a criminal profiler miss that the people closest to her were liars? Given a lifeline in Garza's new unit, Laura's ready to throw her socially awkward, workaholic, book-smart self back into the job, hoping to get her mojo back.
