In the era of countless streaming options, dozens of TV shows ended canceled every year, and in 2023, the "rookie: Fed" was one of the victims. According to The deadlineThe series has spent months in the middle of the double work movements (WGA and Sag Strikes, for writers and actors, respectively) that made Hollywood production stop that year. When the "debutant" spin was finally canceled in November 2023 after only one season, the deadline deserved the strikes as a reason, but according to co-creator of series Alexi Holly, The rationale for the premature death of the show was not so simple.

In the title, the "Rookie: Fed" sounded like just another procedural spin-off for law enforcement among the few, in this case born of the long-standing ABC debut. That Starswald Nathan Filion show as the oldest Los Angeles police department, which joined the forces, and still goes hard with seven seasons and counts. "Rookie: Fed" followed a similar premise-this time, it's an older debut at the FBI Academy for a good reason: Nicki Nash-Tres. Like Simon Clark, Nash-Tresz was the only black single leading premature, an ABC's one-hour show about the time when the "rookie: Fed" was canceled, according to the deadline. She was also at the time in the season of awarding her work on her "monster "'s work on Netflix and at that time he won primarily Emmy for that role only two months after the" Fed "was canceled.

It is clear that ABC has lost something by launching Nash Tres, but why do they first? According to Holly, who also created the leader of the show and spin-off (Plus the "recruit", a lot of fun spy show on Netflix recently received AX), The ABC itself was "nothing but support" for the show, but changes throughout the industry are a key part of decisions like this. Pushing against the usual studio narratives that strikes themselves It has led to the end of its favorite show at the dirty level, Alexi told Deadline that "it's a bigger conversation than that". Instead, he said, "Much had a relationship with the forces that led to (strikes)." Twin movements in 2023 related to topics such as the remaining streaming structures, employee protection and controversial business practices such as "Mini Rooms" for writers and single credited screenwriters. The SAG-AFTRA strike was also one of the first in any industry To deal with the landslide, unregulated AI power.

At an hour for television critics in 2024, Alexi told attendees that "the consolidation of the industry (s) the economic impact that the wars in streaming had on various companies" led to the cancellation of the show. These problems, long unsaturated by the studio, supported many of the 2023 negotiating points. "I feel it was not a creative decision. It was a business decision. I can't argue with that." When it comes to the details of the show's cancellation, Alexi said: "I think the honest answer is not sure, nor do I think the industry knows what is happening right now." He noted that "consolidation is happening throughout the industry" and that the play "is an unfortunate victim, more than a victim of the whole process".

The ABC is celebrated by Disney, a company that has been on the board in recent years, while surpassing the content market with dozens of Marvel and Disney projects. Nash-Tres may have lost his chance to run an ABC show, but she ended up on "groteskers", a Disney-owned FX-owned FX series series. Plus, several other members of the "Rookie: Fed" got into the main series after the play was canceled, which means the idea behind the spin-off series lives-just if it was eventually victim of Hollywood's bottom line.
