What would Nyla and Angela's girls night look like? The Rookie stars answer
Hollywood First Look is with Alyssa Diaz and Mekia Cox from The Rookie. In its eighth season, the series follows John Nolan as a veteran officer and training officer, shifting from rookie learning curves to higher-level responsibility and mentoring. The season features an ambitious, international start in Prague, focusing on complex and high-stakes cases.
In this exclusive interview, they share (and more):
• What it’s like knowing the show is still so popular after eight seasons
• If Nyla and Angela took a Girls Night off from crime fighting, what would that look like, and who from the precinct would ruin it?
• What has been the more interesting thing, exploring Angela - balancing being a detective while her husband is looking into politics this season?
• If Nyla and Angela were to go undercover, what would their dream undercover personas be?
• How is Nyla processing the setbacks she’s experienced going into the season?
• What is the one rule of surviving Mid-Wilshire that fans might now realize?
• If the precinct voted on “Most Intimidating Detective,” who would win right now?
