Starting over isn't easy, especially for John Nolan who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of joining the LAPD. As their oldest rookie, he's met with skepticism from those who see him as just a walking midlife crisis.
Cast:
▶ Nathan Fillion as John Nolan: The oldest rookie (Police Officer II) at the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), he is assigned to the Wilshire Division. He studied law at Pennsylvania State University but dropped out and went into the construction business upon learning that Sarah, his girlfriend and later wife, was pregnant. At the age of 45, Nolan closed his construction company in Pennsylvania and moved out west to become a police officer. He is divorced with a 19-year-old son, Henry, who is a freshman in college. At the start of the third season, Nolan's chances of future promotion to detective are compromised as a result of his unauthorized investigation into corrupt cop Nick Armstrong, so he decides instead to work towards becoming a training officer himself.
▶ Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez: An LAPD detective (Detective I). She is assigned as the training officer to Jackson West, who unintentionally threatens her hopes of becoming a detective. Although she gives West a hard time, Lopez also looks out for him. She becomes engaged to defense attorney Wesley Evers in season two, and is promoted to detective (Detective I) at the beginning of season 3, following the death of Nick Armstrong. She discovers that she is pregnant with her and Wesley's first child in the season three premiere. She is kidnapped by drug lord La Fiera at her wedding and taken to Guatemala, but is soon rescued by her colleagues and Wesley. She later has a baby boy whom she names after West, who died trying to save her from being kidnapped.
▶ Richard T. Jones as Wade Grey: A sergeant (Sergeant II) and watch commander at the Wilshire Station. Grey initially believes that Nolan may be changing career because of a possible midlife crisis and doubts that he is suitable for police work, but later sees his potential. Grey served in the United States Army prior to joining the LAPD. He has a daughter who is planning to go to college in the fall.
▶ Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen: An ambitious rookie (Police Officer II) who struggles to prove herself to Tim Bradford, her training officer. She is 29 years old and her parents are psychologists who remain opposed to her choice of career. During training, she briefly has a romantic relationship with Nolan, but they eventually break up by mutual consent because they know it is against the rules. She is close to Nolan and West and often spends time with them while not on duty. After completing her training, Chen is partnered with West and later undergoes training to become an undercover officer.
▶ Eric Winter as Tim Bradford: A strict, no-nonsense training officer (Police Officer III/Sergeant I). He is assigned Chen as a rookie and gives her a hard time, but treats her fairly. He used to be a Marine squad leader who served in Iraq and Afghanistan before joining the LAPD. He was once married to Isabel Bradford, a fellow police officer, but her drug addiction eventually caused their marriage to fall apart. Later in the first season, he ends his relationship with Isabel entirely once she succeeds in breaking her drug habit, as he believes this will be best for both of them. He starts dating social services agent Rachel Hall in the second season after losing a bet to Chen, but the relationship ends when Rachel takes up a job offer in New York and Bradford is unwilling to interrupt his career progression by transferring to the NYPD. He is promoted to Sergeant I for his role in the rescue of Lopez. He is the older brother of Gennifer Bradford and the son of Tom Bradford.
▶ Mekia Cox as Nyla Harper: Nolan's new training officer (Police Detective I), a tough, experienced detective who is leaving behind four years of undercover work so that she can return to patrol work. She is doing this to become more of a presence in her daughter's life and to bolster her chances in her fight with her ex-husband for joint custody of their daughter. She begins dating James Murray, a local she met in season 3 during an assignment in his neighborhood, in season 4 and ultimately becomes pregnant by him.
▶ Shawn Ashmore as Wesley Evers: A defense lawyer with whom Lopez initially clashes but later starts dating. The two become engaged near the end of the second season.
▶ Jenna Dewan as Bailey Nune: A firefighter who first appears as Nolan's date to Lopez's wedding and later becomes his girlfriend.
