The Rookie, since its premiere in 2018, has captivated audiences with its suspenseful storylines, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the next development - and the prospect of a seventh season is no exception.
Led by Nathan Fillion as John Nolan, the ABC show chronicles the journey of the Los Angeles Police Department's oldest rookie officer.
Here's a comprehensive rundown of what to expect from The Rookie's seventh season, including updates on renewal, release dates, and the returning cast members.
While a specific release date for The Rookie season 7 has yet to be announced, ABC has confirmed that the show will return as part of their midseason lineup for fall 2024-2025.
According to Disney Television Group president Craig Erwich, a January 2025 premiere is a possibility.
The number of episodes for the upcoming season is still unknown. Previous seasons have varied in length, with seasons 1 and 2 having 20 episodes each, season 3 having 14, seasons 4 and 5 having 22 each, and season 6 being the shortest with 10 episodes due to production delays caused by the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes."
As of now, there have been no announcements about any cast members leaving the show after season 6.
Nathan Fillion, who also executive produces the show, is likely to reprise his role as John Nolan, alongside other returning cast members, including Eric Winter as Tim Bradford, Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen, Richard T. Jones as Wade Grey, Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez, Mekia Cox as Nyla Harper, Jenna Dewan as Bailey Nune, Tru Valentino as Aaron Thorsen, and Lisseth Chavez as Celina Juarez.
