The Rookie S03 Goes "True Crime": Rainn Wilson, Celebrity Cults & More

ABC's The Rookie looks to be changing things up with this Sunday's episode, as Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and the team take on the case of a former child actor who now has a cult following in his name. Of course, the leader's name is Jedidiah and the cult is the Children of the Stars- and in no way, shape, or form reflects on any recent real-world events (wink-wink). Oh, who are we kidding? That doesn't sound much different from a regular episode- but this one is being done true-crime "mockumentary" style. Add to that Malcolm in the Middle's Frankie Muniz, Rainn Wilson playing himself, and the mummy of Charlie Chaplin, and you have the making of this week's episode- as well as this week's preview for "True Crime":

Now here's a look at a promo, overview, and preview for Sunday night's episode "True Crime." Guest-starring this episode is Daniel Lissing as Sterling Freeman, Lizze Broadway as Aurora, Ethan James Spitz as Young Corey, Frankie Muniz as Corey Harris, and Rainn Wilson (?!?) as himself.:
