Thankfully, O’Neil was kind enough to share the kind of post that easily reminds fans of why they began loving the show in the first place.

The Rookie: Looking Back at San Diego Comic-Con 2024
Fillion on “The Rookie: Feds” Cast Appearing: When asked about the possibility of seeing Niecy Nash-Betts, Frankie R. Faison, James Lesure, Britt Robertson, or Kevin Zegers returning as their characters from the canceled “Feds,” Fillion shared, “The short answer is yes. We are trying to create a universe in which we can all exist.” The actor and executive producer would go on to add that expanding the show’s ensemble and focusing on a number of characters has been a winning game plan for the ABC series. “The title and the idea that it was my show was always just a trick. It’s always been an ensemble cast. I’m so very pleased to be able to say this program can, at any one time, rest squarely on the shoulders of any one member of this cast,” Fillion explained.
Regarding That “Chenford” Breakup…: During the panel, the topic of Tim (Winter) and Lucy’s (O’Neil) breakup and what that could mean for the new season was discussed. While it might be rough on the characters – and their fans – Fillion noted that everything they’re going through will be worth it “when” they reunite – before changing that “when” to an “if” to play it safe. While noting that his character still has some personal fixing to do before he can do right by Lucy, Winter did allude to Tim making it up to Lucy in “different ways” during Season 7.
