About The Rookie
The Rookie follows John Nolan, who joins the LAPD as its oldest rookie. Seasons track his path from rookie to training officer alongside Chen, Bradford, Lopez and Harper. The spinoff The Rookie: Feds (2022 to 2023, one season) follows FBI trainee Simone Clark and crosses over twice.
Watch the main show in order and slot the Feds episodes around seasons 4 and 5 where the crossovers land. The notes flag both crossings.
Good to know
Feds was cancelled after one season, so its story ends on a crossover back into the main show.
