THE ROOKIE: FEDS Adds Britt Robertson

Britt Robertson has joined the cast of THE ROOKIE: FEDS, a rep for the show confirmed.

The new ABC drama follows “Simone Clark (Niecy Nash-Betts), the oldest rookie in the FBI Academy.” The series—from co-creators Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter—was introduced via a two-episode backdoor pilot this spring, and also stars Frankie Faison as Christopher “Cutty” Clark and Felix Solis as Special Agent Matthew Garza. (Kat Foster’s Agent Casey Fox, who appeared in the two episodes, will not be in the show moving forward.)

Robertson will play Laura Stensen, “the ‘black sheep’ of a family of brilliant academics and the youngest person ever allowed into the FBI’s behavioral analysis unit. But after discovering her boyfriend had been cheating on her with her best friend, Laura fell into a slump – how could a criminal profiler miss that the people closest to her were liars? Given a lifeline in Garza’s new unit, Laura’s ready to throw her socially awkward, workaholic, book-smart self-back into the job, hoping to get her mojo back.”

Robertson is a TV vet, having starred in BIG SKY, FOR THE PEOPLE, THE SECRET CIRCLE, UNDER THE DOME, and LIFE UNEXPECTED.

Deadline was first to report the casting.
