ABC has had a tough time filling the Tuesdays at 10 PM timeslot for years. Most of the new shows that have landed in that timeslot have struggled, and many have been cancelled. How will The Rookie: Feds do? Will it beat the trend and become a hit in the ratings? Will The Rookie: Feds be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A police procedural drama series, The Rookie: Feds TV show is a spin-off of The Rookie from a backdoor pilot. The series stars Niecy Nash-Betts, Felix Solis, Frankie Faison, Britt Robertson, Kevin Zegers, and James Lesure. Guests in the first season include Jessica Betts, Tom Arnold, Eric Roberts, and Deniz Akdeniz. The story follows Simone Clark (Nash-Betts), the oldest rookie in the FBI Academy. Both empathetic and exasperating, Simone is a former guidance counselor as well as the mother of twins. As the story begins, Simone graduates from Quantico and heads to Los Angeles to start a new life.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like The Rookie: Feds TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*11/10/23 update: The Rookie: Feds has been cancelled by ABC after one season.
I am embarrassed to say that I gave this awful show another look. The acting is terrible, especially Neicy. She makes an awful law enforcement officer. If the producers are having her show off her big boobs because it looks sexy they are wrong. I enjoy the Rookie very much, the actors act like real police officers, with at times a little humor. I can’t believe this show should last. I read somewhere that the show was renewed. The higher ups in the production should be fired. This show should have never been filmed. Enough said.
I came here to see if I was the only one bothered by Neicy’s huge cleavage bulging out of her outfits. I am so put off by it. Aside from that, I don’t think the main characters are engaging or rememberable. I actually liked Neicy when she made some appearances on The Rookie but I’m not really liking her on this show. I won’t miss it if it’s cancelled.
Though a fan of The Rookie since the beginning, this silly, cartoonish spinoff is horrible.Niecy Nash is entertaining, in small increments, but grating as Hell, as time goes on. I find her running around with her huge boobs always purposely hanging-out ridiculous, and unbelievable, as no professional law enforcement agency would allow this, as well as about 90% of her other erratic behaviors. Much if the time, spinoff of good shows are also good, but “this dog sure don’t hunt”, and deserves to be cancelled.
Please cancel this show. As a doctor that worked hard for equal rights, this show is insulting.
The Rookie: Feds is awful. I gave it a second chance because it was a crossover show. I will never watch it again. The lead actress can’t act and letting her expose her breasts in the manner she does is uncalled for. It has nothing to do with the story but make it worse. The Rookie is one of my favorite shows and for this show to be connected at all with the worthless Rookie Feds makes no sense. It has to be canceled.
thank you for you kind words. you should gave it another chance the show might get better in time.
I love The Rookie but I will not watch this show with the female lead with her breasts hanging out. It is demoralizing women.
My second review. I gave the show another try. In a couple words –it is awful. The lead actress is terrible and the show is an embarrassment to the whole world of law enforcement. I cannot the FBI allowed this show to be filmed. To make matters worse as the show ends the lead actress shares a lesbian encounter with a female on the street. This is unbelievable. I read somewhere that the lead actress’s real life lesbian partner was going to be in the show. I love police shows, FBI, The Rookie all the Law enforcement SVU, etc. shows.… Read more »
This show is just BAD. The lead character is flat out annoying, and I couldn’t make it past the first few minutes of episode 2. I almost gagged when she was trying to flirt with the informant. The tight clothing and cleavage are off-putting, not to mention the attitude and raspy voice. Gawd awful show.
I have never commented on a tv show good or bad but this show is so bad I can’t believe it ever got made. I love the Rookie so I tried to give Rookie Feds a chance but it is too unbelievable. I like Neicy but she is not believable as an FBI agent. Especially when on the same night CBS runs the FBI which looks a lot more real life & believable. I think you missed on this one.
Don’t know where to start. This show and the acting are terrible. I agree with Cindy, why show the boobs, if this was the real FBI that would’t be allowed. The male rookie is a complete whimp and acts no more a law enforcement officer than my big toe. If she was interviewing for a real FBI job she would never get hired due to the way she speaks. Why embarrass some of the actors of The Rookie having to act in this show. All in all this is a terrible show. Won’t watch again.
Love the show but she needs to cover those boobs up, it makes me uncomfortable to see all that cleavage.
don’t understand why “The rookie” wasn’t enough.. I am watching 1st ep of feds but, wondering why?????
I think the rookie is very interesting and funny. I would give the show a chance.
Great first episode, if you like the Rookie you’ll like this. Looking forward to more!
It should be canceled!
