The Rookie is a police procedural comedy-drama television series on ABC. The series is created by Alexi Hawley. It is produced by ABC Studios and Entertainment One. The Rookie follows the story of John Nolan, a forty-five year old newly divorced man from Pennsylvania, former owner of a construction company, and the father of a son in college. John Nolan is inspired to move to Los Angeles and pursue a new career as a police officer in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), after he inadvertently helps some police officers in foiling a bank robbery. He closes his construction company and moves out west, as he becomes the oldest rookie in the LAPD, at the age of 45. The premise of the show is inspired by real life LAPD officer, Bill Norcross, who also serves as an executive producer on the show.
