The first season of The Rookie: Feds came to an end back in May, and the entertainment industry was at a standstill over the months that followed due to the WGA writers strike followed by the SAG-AFTRA actors strike. Fans had to wait more than six months to find out if Simone Clark and Co. would get a second season, and the news finally broke on the same day that the actors strike ended. Niecy Nash's The Rookie spinoff has been cancelled after one season.
In addition to ABC cancelling The Rookie: Feds, Deadline reports that The Good Lawyer isn't moving forward as a spinoff of The Good Doctor. That's less of a blow, however, as The Good Lawyer didn't get further than a backdoor pilot, whereas Niecy Nash's show went from backdoor pilot to a 22-episode season with some crossovers with The Rookie. While the Season 1 finale – which is now the series finale – didn't end on a cliffhanger, it did feel like it was missing something. Fortunately, the cancellation doesn't have to mean that we've seen the last of Nash as Simone Clark.
