ABC has ordered “The Rookie: North,” a spinoff of “The Rookie,” to series for the 2026-27 television season. The project stars Jay Ellis as Alex Holland. Across coverage, the series is described as being set in Washington state and centering on Holland after a violent home invasion awakens a dormant sense of purpose, prompting him to join the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department as he confronts patterns of failed commitments. Reporting indicates the pickup comes shortly before ABC’s announcement of its 2026-27 schedule, with one outlet describing the order as a 10-episode run. The spinoff is developed as part of the broader franchise, with plans that include a midseason schedule and potential crossover connections with the “The Rookie” mothership. Coverage credits the show’s creative leadership to “The Rookie” creator Alexi Hawley. The series order is positioned as a continuation and expansion of the franchise on ABC, with details still subject to confirmation through ABC’s official programming information.
