And we will get more on that Chenford kiss!
John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) is going to be a rookie again!
“He’ll be the oldest rookie training officer.”

“We started off with, this guy is the rookie,” Fillion said.
“Now he’s elevated to another level of his job, and he’s starting at rock bottom.
Hawley danced his way around the No.
1 question on fans' minds: what’s next for Chenford, a.k.a.
Lucy (Melissa O’Neill) and Tim (Eric Winter) after that season 4 finale kiss?
I tease Eric about this all the time.
“It’s always been in the back of my head,” he noted.
“It’s a universal experience, the restarting your life, the second chapter.
So it always felt like there was room for that to grow.
Leading that new show is Nash as FBI rookie Simone Clark.
“She’s a little unconventional.
Elaborating on the Comic-Con panel, Nash added, “We all know someone like Simone.
I grabbed a little bit from different women in my life.
She is that friend in your head or your favorite auntie.
“We have a jet plane and we often fly.
We go to Texas, Mississipi, Florida.
It opens up the show in an exciting way.
Still, don’t expect that broader approach to keep the two shows out of each other’s worlds.
Both Winter and Hawley promised a lot of crossover.
“We were designing the show with crossovers between the new show andThe Rookieproper.
They all stand on their own, but they’re also super fun to watch together.”
