Alyssa Diaz & Mekia Cox talk The Rookie Season 8: Partnership, undercover ideas & life at Mid-Wilshire
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?
