Filming

edit

In January 2018,Liz Friedlandersigned on to direct and executive produce thepilot.[52]Production on the pilot began on March 7, 2018,[53]with filming taking place inLos Angeles,Oxnard,BurbankandNew York City.[54]On April 15, 2021, police received a call of a possible shooting while filming was taking place between Hartford Avenue and West 5th Street in Los Angeles. Three gunshots were heard by various eyewitnesses, and the production crew confirmed that no one from the show was injured during the incident. Filming in the area was shut down as a result of the reports, but filming continued at other already scheduled locations.[55]Following the death of cinematographerHalyna Hutchinson October 21, 2021, on the set of the filmRust,live weapons were banned fromThe Rookiewhile filming.[56]Prior to the ban, the series occasionally used quarter or half rounds on large outdoor set pieces.[57]ShowrunnerAlexi Hawley stated that "any risk is too much risk" and explained that, going forward, onlyairsoft gunswould be used, withmuzzle flashesbeing added inpost productionusingcomputer-generated imagery.[58]

On-set misconduct and harassment allegations

edit

On July 26, 2019,TVLinereported thatAfton Williamson,who portrays Talia Bishop, would not be returning for the second season. While the outlet initially claimed that the split was amicable, Williamson, in a lengthy Instagram post, stated that she left the series due to having "experienced racial discrimination/racially charged inappropriate comments from the hair department."[59]Williamson also alleged that she was sexually harassed by guest starDemetrius Grosse,who portrays Kevin Wolfe in a recurring role, as well as an incident of bullying that escalated into sexual assault at a party; the head of the hair department was identified as Sallie Ciganovich. Williamson claimed that she had gone to the showrunners multiple times with these allegations, but was ignored.[60]

Everyone involved in the allegations denied them. An investigation was commissioned through the law firm Mitchell Sillerberg and Knupp along with a third-party firm, EXTTI, which conducted nearly 400 hours of interviews and examined video and other evidence.[61]The results of the investigation were published on September 17, 2019, which found that the allegations made by Williamson had no merit and could not be proven. Williamson stood by her claims, calling the results of the investigation "heartbreaking" and postulated that the producers had lied to cover up the truth of what happened.[62]
