missoneil Take 8
Being a part of @therookieabc and having the opportunity to continue to tell Lucy Chen's story this year has been such a blessing on my life!
One of the wild elements of this business is that nothing is ever certain. Nothing promised is a guarantee. Season 8 has been a marathon of sorts, an ambitious adventure and the show feels stronger and more exciting than ever.
As everyone wraps filming today - I've been reflecting on how these transitions always feel like a mystery. People were tired and ready to get home and rest on my last day and yet I could feel a part of myself willing time to slow to soak it in. You never know when it could be your last time doing_____ being _____.
Tending to one's relationship to impermanence produces such lovely fruitโฆ It is not lost on me how precious and rare this is and I don't care if it comes off saccharineโฆ
To our writers, producers, crew, camera department, grips, LIGHTING, sound, props, costumes, makeup, hair, our AD's who feel like absolute miracle workers, all of our PA's, our wonderful Directors, the INCREDIBLE stunt team, background, GUEST STARS, casting, locations, set designโฆ (and that's not even touching the hands the show is in now with post production and all of the behind the scenes people who run the business of it all)
You all are the ones who truly make The Rookie what it is. You and our relentlessly hard working, non-sleeping-but-make-it-look-easy-showrunner @alexi.hawley.
Without everyone's dedication, GRIT, good humor, and perseverance this would not be possible.
Congratulations to everyone on another great season in the can!
My fellow cast, I don't know how it's possible but familiarity has not dulled my awe of you even a little bit. Thank you for being a source of inspiration and camaraderie.
To be 8 years in on a project and in close enough proximity to watch everyone growing and expanding in their capacity, artistry and precision is such a gift. I'm so proud to be a part of this show.
I sincerely hope @therookieabc gets to come back for Season 9.
Until then, I hope you have loved Season 8 so far, there is a LOT more to come - you're in for a ride this year.
