How The Rookie plans to write off Afton Williamson's character

TVLine

Williamson, who portrayed the training officer of Nathan Fillion's title character, rookie Officer John Nolan, quit the ABC drama amid allegations of sexual and racial misconduct. According to showrunner Alexi Hawley, Williamson's character transfers to a federal agency in what he calls an "organic" exit. He adds that the title character suddenly losing his original TO “gives us an opportunity to throw other obstacles in Nolan’s way.”
