Deadline

ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke tells Deadline that in wake of the George Floyd police brutality protests, The Rookie creator Alexi Hawley has brought in a number of experts to discuss the issues around policing in America in 2020. “Alexi Hawley is a really thoughtful ally and partner and has been in the writers’ room for some time, already planning to address the current conversation going on around police work,” she said. “I’m impressed with his thoughtfulness and leadership about hearing and adapting the current conversations to the storylines. It’s a diverse writers room and I’m hearing that the conversations going on in that room are inspired and give me hope that that show will address and not ignore the conversations around policing.”
