Nathan Fillion lines up the next ABC cop show he'll probably be doing for years
Much as Firefly’s vocal fanbase is probably loath to admit, star Nathan Fillion ended up spending far more time busting criminals on eight seasons of ABC’s long-running police procedural Castle than he ever did rustling cattle in space. (169 hour-long episodes more, to be exact.) And while Castle closed up shop last year in a flurry of contract renewal problems, it sounds like Fillion is pretty comfortable in his ABC cop show niche; Variety reports that the network has just given a series order to The Rookie, a new Fillion-starring cop series from Castle producer Alexi Hawley.
