ABC police procedural The noob will (hopefully) expand its fictional universe soon. The show, which got a Season 5 renewal, is set to deliver a two-part backdoor pilot for a spin-off that would potentially feature Niecy Nash’s Simone Clark, the oldest rookie at the FBI Academy. Nash is no stranger to cop shows, as she was in Reindeer 9-1-1 and its rebirth. However, the actress recently opened up about the difference in her preparation for the two shows.
Niecy Nash talked to Eastern Time about her The noob character, as well as the support he has received since joining the show. Given Nash’s experience playing Agent Raineesha Williams for seven seasons on the beloved Comedy Central series, it’s clear she knows a lot about playing a law enforcement officer. However, while speaking to the media outlet, she explained that when it came to preparing for the ABC show, she really had to push herself:
It definitely makes sense for the training to be more rigorous and realistic when it comes to The noob. Since the ABC series is more procedural and the comedy (which is now on Roku and has welcomed Jamie Lee Curtis) is more humorous, the latter wouldn’t require too much training. It is interesting that the actress can say that she played two policemen on two completely different shows. While she now seems excited to get into the thick of things, she likely appreciates what she learned from working on the sitcom/
The potential Rookie The spinoff was announced in February, with Niecy Nash sharing her excitement about joining the franchise. At this time, an official title for the show has not been announced, but if ABC picks it up as a series, it wouldn’t be surprising if the producers go with something similar to the main series moniker. (the newbiemaybe?) Also, the two-part backdoor pilot will likely introduce a few other major players who will likely carry over to the branch.
The two-part film will focus on an explosion at a power plant, leading the Los Angeles Police Department to consult with the feds. Based on the few clips that have been released for the episodes, it’s already clear that Niecy Nash is bringing some personality and humor to Simone while also keeping the character grounded.
In addition to the proposed spinoff, Niecy Nash is also part of the cast of the upcoming limited series. Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story on Netflix. In the show, which focuses on the infamous criminal also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal and the Milwaukee Monster, she will play Dahmer’s concerned neighbor, Glenda Cleveland. Needless to say, Nash has really been turning things around since her time at Reindeer 9-1-1and I’m excited to see what he continues to do inside The noob universe and any other project that comes your way.
the first part of The noobThe FBI-focused backdoor pilot premieres tonight, Sunday, April 24, at 10 p.m.
