Potential Backdoor Pilot for The Rookie Spinoff with Niecy Nash; HBO Max Renews South Side for Season 3
Niecy Nash (Reno 9-1-1, Claws) is set to guest star as Simone Clark in two embedded pilot episodes of the ABC police drama The Rookie from eOne and ABC Signature. Clark is a force of nature, the living embodiment of a dream deferred - and the oldest rookie in the FBI Academy. Her episodes set the stage for a potential untitled spinoff next season allowing the franchise to expand beyond the Los Angeles Police Department. The Rookie and the spinoff will exist in the same universe, allowing characters to move back and forth.
In the episode, Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and the LA division of the FBI enlist the help of FBI trainee Simone Clark when one of her former students is suspected of terrorism following an explosion at a local power station. The Rookie airs Sundays (10:01-11:00 p.m. EST) on ABC and returns with all-new episodes on Feb. 27.
HBO Max has renewed South Side for a third season. The second season of the beloved, critically acclaimed comedy series premiered as a Max Original in November 2021. South Side follows two friends who just graduated from community college and are ready to take over the world, but until they do, they're stuck working at Rent-T-Own. Shot on location in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, the show offers an authentic look into what life on the South Side is all about. The series stars Sashir Salahuddin, Sultan Salahuddin, Kareme Young, Quincy Young, Chandra Russell, Zuri Salahuddin, Nefetari Spencer and Diallo Riddle.
