(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?
Loved the programme being shown now in the UK, glad they have made a 2nd series.
Both of us are excited that the show is returning soon. It is one of the best written and cast shows on TV. We have recommended it to everyone we know who watches TV. Thank all for the renewal.
Love the show. Can’t wait for Season 2.
The Rookie Is Very Enjoyable, and Entertaining. My Husband and I like it very much
I like the show. It is nice not to have so much cursing and sex in a show.
Absolutely, my husband and I love the show and are looking forward to season 2.
I love the Rookie !! Cant wait for new season !
She was a very important actor on the show and I was looking forward to seeing where her character ended up.
Sorry to hear she is leaving the show. Her character was one of my faves.
I LOVE this show, too! I’d love to see it go on until they’re NOT Rookies. Afton will be greatly missed. I really liked her character.
Love the show .It’s one show my wife and i will watch together.
Love this show!! Nathan and his co-workers are great and funny all at the same time. I give two thumbs up!!
I loved the show and will miss the actress.
So happy The Rookie is coming back! I am interested in how they will play her out and hope for an open door for her return. It is a great show. So tired of all the fake reality shows taking over the networks.
I will miss her, she is a dynamite actor. Don’t need another jar head, but love the show
