For all the great news that came from the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike, the aftermath hasn’t been 100% positive across the entire industry. While plenty of blockbuster-sized projects are now able to get back into the swing of things — from Superman: Legacy to Deadpool 3 to Stranger Things Season 5 — The Rookie: Feds was canceled at ABC, with several other in-the-works projects also getting axed as networks reconfigure the TV schedule. It’s an absolute bummer for the millions of fans who tuned into Season 1, but star Niecy Nash chose to take the higher road in response to the cancellation, and I love-love-love the positivity.
Niecy Nash cemented her status as a comedy icon (at least in my eyes) with her role as Deputy Raineesha Williams across 20 years of Reno 911! projects, and the Emmy-nominated actress brings that same energy to every role she takes on, including that of FBI agent Simone Clark. That glass-half-full attitude was on full display in the Instagram video seen below, in which Nash shares appreciation for the “family” she connected with during her Feds experience.
