The Rookie is an American police procedural crime drama television series created by Alexi Hawley for ABC. The series follows John Nolan, a man in his forties, who becomes the oldest rookie at the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 68% approval rating with an average rating of 6.33/10 based on 22 reviews for Season 1. In 2022, a spinoff was commissioned entitled The Rookie: Feds, but it was unceremoniously canceled after one season due to the Hollywood strikes of 2023. Even The Rookie season 6 was delayed by the strikes, but the brief pause in production isn’t likely to affect the series’ overall popularity. With that in mind, season 7 of The Rookie seems inevitable.
The Rookie Season 7: Is It Coming?
The Rookie season 6 premiered on February 20th, 2024, and with the season so fresh, it comes as no surprise that ABC hasn’t renewed it for season 7 yet. However, The Rookie’s overwhelming popularity makes its renewal an almost certainty, and ABC has followed a pretty consistent pattern when picking the Nathan Fillion-led series up for more episodes.
Typically, The Rookie has been renewed for a new season before the latest has even finished airing, and that will likely happen for the strike-affected season 6. On the other hand, the 2023 strikes might make ABC a bit more weary about quick renewals.
