Jenna Dewan currently stars alongside Nathan Fillion in ABC’s hit
series “The Rookie” in the role of Lt. Bailey Nune, a capable and
resilient firefighter and paramedic. Dewan joined the series as a
guest star at the end of Season 3 in 2021 and has been a series
regular since Season 4. The series is the No. 1 broadcast drama among
adults 18-34 and was recently renewed for a ninth season, set to
premiere in early 2027.

Dewan first captured audience attention in Disney’s 2006 hit film
“Step Up,” where her talent and appeal illuminated the big screen.
In 2011, she starred in Jamie Linden’s directorial debut, “10
Years,” which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and featured an
all-star cast, including Channing Tatum, Kate Mara, Oscar Isaac and
Chris Pratt. Dewan was also the centerpiece of one of the vignettes in
the 2019 feature film “Berlin I Love You,” which also starred
Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, Jim Sturgess and Diego Luna.

Dewan’s other ventures on the small screen include originating the
fan-favorite role of “Lucy Lane” on the CW’s long-running
“Supergirl” series set in the prolific Berlant/DC Universe. She
later reprised the role in the “Superman & Lois” series, also from
the CW. In 2019, Dewan starred in the popular “Mixtape” limited
series for Netflix from creator Josh Safran and Annapurna. Her
additional previous credits include a starring role in Lifetime’s
“Witches of East End” and Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror
Story: Asylum,” opposite Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and Adam
Levine. Dewan also displayed keen comedy chops on Fox’s “Mindy
Kaling Show” as a gorgeous pharmaceutical rep with her sights on
Chris Messina’s character, as well as a memorable
two-season-spanning guest arc on the Fox medical drama “The
Resident.”

In addition to acting, Dewan is a bestselling author with the
lifestyle book “Gracefully You.” She was a frequent co-host on
“Live with Kelly & Mark” and has also served as a host and mentor
on NBC’s “World of Dance.” Within that realm, she was most
recently a lead judge on the CBS competition series “Come Dance with
Me.”
