  1. >It’s the crossover no one knew they always needed: ABC’s “The Rookie” will air an episode “prominently” featuring the cast of “Game Changer,” a competition series from indie comedy platform Dropout (formerly CollegeHumor).

    >The upcoming episode of Season 8 of the Nathan Fillion-led police procedural, which will air March 2 at 10 p.m., is titled “Fun and Games.”

    >Along with “The Rookie” staples Fillion as John Nolan, Mekia Cox as Nyla Harper, Lisseth Chavez as Celina Juarez and Deric Augustine as Miles Penn, the episode will feature Dropout CEO and “Game Changer” host Sam Reich, as well as frequent Dropout collaborators Vic Michaelis (Peacock’s “Ponies”), Jacob Wysocki, Zac Oyama and Anna Garcia.

    >Per ABC’s official logline for the crossover episode, which was filmed in part at Dropout’s own studios in Los Angeles, “Harper and Miles feel the weight of their recent mistakes, while Harper is tasked with training Miles. Nolan and Celina are dispatched to a robbery call at the Dropout TV Studios where Nolan encounters a familiar face.”

    >After airing on ABC, the new “The Rookie” episode will be available to stream on Hulu the next day.

    >Rebranded from CollegeHumor in 2024, comedy streamer Dropout has been continuously growing in popularity, recently hitting 1 million paid subscribers and expanding its production, development and marketing teams.

    >Ahead of announcing its “The Rookie” crossover on Monday, the home to “Game Changer,” “Very Important People,” “Dimension 20” and “Make Some Noise,” debuted its first-ever licensed series, the UK comedy “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared.”

  2. I bet the robbery investigation ends when they find out that the stolen items have been here the whole time.

  3. Dropout is about to go mainstream which means its now going to suck, sorry i dont make the rules

  4. They’re probably there to arrest Zach who DEFINITELY didn’t casually kill a man. He’ll never confess, just wait till you hear from his lawyer. 

  5. Okay, well this means we need an episode in the next season of Game Changer with Nathan Fillion.

  6. I really hope this means maybe the game changer episode get interrupted during the filming and we see this happening in real time! Where the game changer world takes place in The Rookie show? So like when game changer airs, you see this happening on the show as well!

  7. They had an episode that crossed over with American Idol a few years ago. They chased someone through the idol set and the character officer lucy Chen did an audition. It was super cheesy but that’s why I love the rookie.
