Published Mon, 27 Jun 2022 19:28:12 -0500

With ABC's Nathan Fillion (John Nolan)-starring flagship series returning on Sunday, September 25, and the network's Niecy Nash-Betts (Simone Clark)-starring spinoff series debuting two days later (on Tuesday, September 27), things are looking pretty good with "The Rookie" universe. Now we're getting an update on both series, and it comes courtesy of Fillion and his co-star Melissa O'Neil (Lucy Chen). In the Instagram post that you're about to see, the two are checking in as they're being transported around the show's new filming lot. Based on when the clip was first posted, that means The Rookie is now about a week into filming the upcoming season. But that wasn't all, with Fillion confirming that his first day back filming was actually for the spinoff series The Rookie: Feds.
