“The Rookie” Creator Alexi Hawley and Lionsgate TV Sign Multi-Series Deal
In a significant career move, Alexi Hawley, the mastermind behind The Rookie, has secured a lucrative, overall deal with Lionsgate TV. This achievement marks a major win for Hawley, who has been a driving force in the television industry. A little drumroll might be in order here!
Hawley, known for creating the Nathan Fillion-led series The Rookie, has made a leap forward in his career. Lionsgate Television, now overseeing operations at eOne, has locked in this deal, solidifying Hawley’s continued influence within their ranks. This partnership includes all of his current series, as well as the upcoming Lionsgate project, The Envoy. Additionally, Hawley will have the opportunity to expand his creative portfolio through his production company, Perfectman Pictures.
A Potential ‘Rookie’ Expansion?
But that’s not all—there’s buzz about a possible new spin-off from The Rookie. Hawley expressed his excitement about the deal, saying, “Lionsgate is truly a great creative partner, and I’m thrilled to continue making television with them.” Kevin Beggs, Lionsgate Television Group Chair & Chief Creative Officer, echoed this sentiment, calling Hawley one of the most talented creators in television today.
The Rookie Takes Over San Diego Comic-Con 2024
At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, fans eagerly soaked up every bit of news related to The Rookie. Nathan Fillion hinted that the cast from the canceled series The Rookie: Feds might make a return. He also teased the possibility of a reunion between Tim and Lucy, despite their recent breakup, leaving fans hopeful for a heartwarming comeback.
Adding to the excitement, Deric Augustine and Patrick Keleher join the upcoming season’s cast. Augustine’s character, Miles, is a ‘rookie’ from Texas with two years of experience, while Keleher’s Seth appears to be the ideal officer—albeit with some challenges in stepping up quickly.
As the series continues to deliver high-stakes drama, Hawley’s dedication as the creator, writer, and executive producer shines through. Alongside Mark Gordon, Nathan Fillion, Michelle Chapman, Jon Steinberg, Bill Norcross, Bill Roe, and Brynn Malone, Hawley forms the core team behind The Rookie. The show remains a cornerstone of ABC’s lineup, with Entertainment One (eOne) as the lead studio.
For now, as we celebrate Hawley’s new chapter with Lionsgate, we can look forward to more thrilling television from one of the industry’s most creative minds.
