(ABC/Tony Rivetti)
A key cast member is leaving The Rookie. TVLine reports Afton Williamson will not return for season two of the ABC TV show.
Williamson plays Talia Bishop on the comedy drama, which centers on John Nolan (Nathan Fillion), a small-town guy who pursues his dream of being an LAPD officer after a life-changing experience. The cast also includes Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin, Mercedes Mason, and Melissa O’Neil.
It’s unclear why Williamson is parting ways with The Rookie, but Harold Perrineau is expected to fill the void left by the actress. Season two is slated to premiere on ABC on September 29th at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
What do you think? Have you seen The Rookie? Will you watch season two?
I am so sorry Talia is not returning! My second favorite character after the lead officer Nolan!
So sad. Loved her character!

YES!! Will definitely watch The Rookie! Huge thank you to ABC for recognizing a great series when they have it!!!
Will definitely watch Season 2! Love the show!
My husband and I love this show. The comedy and police combo is very entertaining. Sorry to see officer Bishop leaving the show though. I hope this series is on many years to come.
http://chng.it/2CKrWSVh8r this is our Change.org petition to bring Miss Afton back to “The Rookie” as she is one of the best things about the show, and she shouldn’t have to leave as what occurred was not her fault. Help us bring her back!
I’ve enjoyed this show from the beginning, and I do hope it continues for a few more seasons. I like the cast – they fit well together. Thanks
Love it! Will miss Bishop. Wish her all the best.
Can’t wait!!!
