Fall's new series continue to gain order extensions, as ABC has now granted a full season to one of its new series, The Rookie: Feds. The pickup is for a full twenty-two episodes, the first such pickup this season (NBC granted eighteen episodes to Quantum Leap while CBS is remaining mum on the episode counts for its three extended dramas). Feds has been a poor first-run ratings performer this season, with just a 0.29 average in the 18-49 ratings demographic. However, it has performed much better in played multi-platform viewing, matching its parent series as a strong performer in that metric. Its twenty-two episodes will lock down the troubled Tuesday at 10 time slot for ABC, which has yet to find a show to last more than two seasons in that slot (the last shows to survivor the slot, The Rookie and Big Sky, were both moved off the slot for their second seasons) in recent memory. The Rookie: Feds stars Niecy Nash, Britt Robertson, James Lesure, Frankie Faison, and Felix Solis star in the series.
