For all the nice information that got here from the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike, the aftermath hasn’t been 100% optimistic throughout all the trade. Whereas loads of blockbuster-sized tasks at the moment are in a position to get again into the swing of issues — from Superman: Legacy to Deadpool 3 to Stranger Issues Season 5 — The Rookie: Feds was canceled at ABC, with a number of different in-the-works tasks additionally getting axed as networks reconfigure the TV schedule. It’s an absolute bummer for the thousands and thousands of followers who tuned into Season 1, however star Niecy Nash selected to take the upper street in response to the cancellation, and I like-love-love the positivity.
Niecy Nash cemented her standing as a comedy icon (at the very least in my eyes) together with her function as Deputy Raineesha Williams throughout 20 years of Reno 911! tasks, and the Emmy-nominated actress brings that very same power to each function she takes on, together with that of FBI agent Simone Clark. That cup-half-full perspective was on full show within the Instagram video seen beneath, by which Nash shares appreciation for the “household” she related with throughout her Feds expertise.
By and enormous, it looks like being a part of The Rookie: Feds solid and crew was a hoot and a holler, with Niecy Nash serving as a giant cause why everybody’s time on the set was pleasing. It takes a village, metaphorically talking, to deliver a community TV present like this collectively, and that course of can simply turn into a pressure or worse with out cohesion and collaboration. And whereas it’s clearly a disgrace that the Feds household gained’t be getting again collectively for Season 2, at the very least everybody concerned was in a position to participate on this expertise collectively.
It’d be one factor if Nash was the one individual sharing the notion that The Rookie: Feds crew received alongside so nicely, however her remark part featured various actors and crew members who labored with Nash throughout Season 1, as seen beneath:
- Devika Bhise: Essentially the most superb #1 we may have ever requested for!! ❤️❤️❤️
- J. August Richards: So glad I set to work with you, Terrence, my brotha James and everybody there! A really superb group of individuals… Congratulations on an amazing season! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
- Eric Winter: ❤️💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼❤️
- Kellee Stewart: Aaaaaaamen!!! Congratulations on an exquisite season of labor!!! Y’all slayed it and we’re not finished seeing y’all but!
- Juani Feliz: 😍 the reminiscences is what it’s all about! I had a blast enjoying with you guys
- Jeff Wolfe: 😢so loopy… household certainly. Had a tremendous time being part of it and grateful for you 🔥
It’s simple to think about that every of the skills above would work with Niecy Nash once more in a flash if the chance offered itself. And right here’s hoping that likelihood does come, if solely to provide Simone’s story a correct close-out. The actress herself was optimistic concerning the present’s renewal probabilities over the summer season, months earlier than strike-related agreements had been made, and although these emotions are for nought at this level, I do hope The Rookie’s inventive crew finds a method to deliver Nash’s #1 again into the fold for at the very least yet one more case.
For many who can’t wait to see Niecy Nash in different tasks, she additionally took to IG to hype up the upcoming drama Origin, from director Ava DuVernay, which debuted at TIFF and left CinemaBlend’s personal Corey Chichizola sobbing within the theater.
As Nash identified, all 22 episodes can be found to stream with a Hulu subscription, so it’s technically potential that sufficient folks binge-watching the present may spark renewed curiosity in a second season, probably as a streaming unique. However most likely not one thing to pin one’s hopes on, all issues thought of.
