‘The rookie’: la temporada 2 de la serie se estrena en Telecinco

La primera temporada de la serie tuvo una buena acogida tanto en EE.UU como en España el verano pasado, cuando Telecinco emitió la serie meses después de que TNT ya la emitiera en la televisión de pago. Pero cuando la temporada 2 empezó el rodaje, sucedió un hecho importante: una actriz abandonó la serie.

Después de varias denuncias y quejas y al ver que no servían para nada, la actriz Afton Williamson decidió abandonar The Rookie. “El acoso sexual que denuncié directamente al showrunner (Alexi Hawley) permaneció sin documentar y no fue comunicado a recursos humanos como me habían prometido”, escribió indignada en su cuenta de Instagram. Sin embargo, esto no es todo. La actriz de 34 años, que interpreta a Talia Bishop, la agente de policía responsable de entrenar al protagonista, también denunció la conducta inapropiada de acoso sexual de un actor invitado.

Me aseguraron que ese actor sería despedido«, pero al volver al rodaje de la segunda temporada se encontró con el actor y además, tenía que grabar varias escenas con él. “Pregunté al showrunner acerca de esto y admitió que el actor no había sido despedido y que no había implicado a recursos humanos”.

I will not be returning for Season 2 of The Rookie. I owe it to you my amazing fans to share the Truth. Throughout the filming of the pilot, I experienced Racial Discrimination/Racially Charged inappropriate comments from the hair department and bullying from Executive Producers. During the Season, it continued along with Sexual Harassment from a recurring guest star,Demetrius Grosse,and the racist commentary & bullying from the Hair Dept.Head, Sally Ciganovich escalated into Sexual Assault at our Wrap party.The Sexual Harassment though reported directly to the Showrunner/EP remained undocumented and was not reported to HR as promised.Ciganovich was fired ONLY after the sexual assault and NOT for an entire year of outward racism/racially charged language and bullying behavior in and out of the Hair and Makeup trailer. HR protocol was never adhered to following the above reports given by me to my Showrunner/EP and an investigation was never issued for any of my claims. The only time I was asked to participate in an investigation was after a meeting I called in June following our Season 2 announcement. This meeting included the Showrunner and two other producers as well as my agent and SAG-AFTRA Union Rep. It was clear to all present in the meeting that the Showrunner had not shared my reports with the any of the producers. After my initial report of sexual harassment, I was assured that Grosse would be fired. I was also asked to film with him the very next day as a courtesy to the script, even though we had not begun filming the episode yet. Grosse reappeared on our call sheet at the end of the season, I was even written in scenes with him. I asked the Showrunner about this and he admitted to me that the Grosse had not been fired nor had he gotten HR involved. I was asked to return this season, and promised that “everything was handled.” The investigation hadn’t even begun and Season 2 had already started filming. I turned it down and I walked. Now is the best time in the world to be a woman and I have a platform so it’s time to use my Voice. Strength comes from within. It comes from Above. “Greater is He that is within Me than he that is in the world” ❤️??

Una nueva instructora y complejos retos para Nolan, en la segunda temporada

El miércoles Telecinco estrena la temporada 2 de The Rookie. Tras superar el primer semestre, John Nolan afronta ilusionado la segunda etapa de su formación como Policía de Los Ángeles. Junto a sus jóvenes compañeros novatos, a los que dobla la edad, se enfrentará a nuevos retos.

Su determinación, carácter resolutivo y experiencia vital serán claves en su incipiente carrera profesional en este periodo en el que tendrá que decidir qué tipo de policía desea ser. Nathan Fillion protagoniza este drama policial, basado en una historia real y creado por Alexi Hawley (‘Castle’). Eric Winter, Melissa O’Neil, Richard T. Jones,Titus Makin y Alyssa Diaz completan el reparto de la serie, al que se incorporará Mekia Cox (‘Secretos y mentiras’) en su segunda temporada.

El cameo de American Idol

Junto a esta nueva incorporación, The Rookie incluirá un cross over con ‘American Idol’ en una trama en la que dos agentes de la comisaría de Wilshire acudirán a las audiciones del talent show tras recibir un aviso y en la que el equipo estelar del programa, formado por el presentador Ryan Seacrest y los tres jueces, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry y Luke Bryan, se encarnarán a sí mismos. Además, Don Swayze (‘True Blood’), hermano menor del actor Patrick Swayze, intervendrá en un episodio poniéndose en la piel del diputado Sharp, mientras que Roselyn Sánchez (‘Criadas y malvadas’) interpretará a la periodista Valerie Castillo.
