The Rookie concluded its fifth season with a stunning season finale that attracted over 4 million viewers and scored a 0.5 rating, setting new audience and demo records over its three episodes – earning it an A rating from TVLine readers. Ratings actually improved during its final episode due to an emotionally charged case that ultimately resulted in someone’s death.
The fifth season of this show came to a thrilling end with a shocker of an reveal, leaving fans and viewers alike talking for months afterward. Chenford’s escape as serial killer, Nolan becoming a Training Officer and Breen’s new position with the District Attorney were just some of the stories to keep viewers riveted to their seats.
No word yet as to whether The Rookie will return for its sixth season. But its creator Alexi Hawley has signaled its return. Best known for his work on Castle, Hawley co-created The Rookie alongside Nathan Fillion who serves as co-executive producer alongside Hawley, Mark Gordon, Michelle Chapman, Jon Steinberg and Entertainment One.

The Rookie Season 5 Spoilers
With season 5 coming to a close, fans are left with many questions regarding The Rookie’s future. At the forefront is whether Chenford and Tim can find their happily ever after; their kiss in the finale was certainly cause for celebration, yet its longevity may remain in question given that romantic relationships on cop dramas often involve some harsh moments.
Aaron’s fate remains in doubt after the final episode of season 5. Aaron was shot while walking home with Celina after playing Dungeons and Dragons; although he survived surgery, code blue alarms could be heard from his room in the last moments, raising doubts as to his survival. No doubt this storyline will continue in season 6, keeping viewers on edge until we learn whether Aaron lives or dies.
Also on hold for fans are Nyla Harper (Mekia Cox), returning from maternity leave, and John Nolan’s (Nathan Fillion) relationship with Bailey Nune; however, production on Mid-Wilshire Division won’t begin again until sometime around fall 2019. So fans should enjoy The Rookie until then but wait a bit until its return on screen! The WGA strike began May 2, delaying production start dates significantly – though fans can still watch The Rookie through fall.
The Rookie Season 6 Finale
Rookie Season 5’s conclusion left audiences breathless. Though no definitive answers were revealed about Aaron Thorsen’s fate (whether or not he lives), it certainly addressed his well-being and addressed any possible health concerns he might be suffering from. It opened with Thorsen and Celina Juarez taking a stroll that quickly turned deadly when assailants attacked them from behind.
This season will undoubtedly address both this cliffhanger and other major storylines from the series, such as Kristian Bruun stepping up as an antagonist and challenging John Nolan and his team to overcome him.
Additionally, this series will explore Angela’s single mother status and the impact of Wesley Evers’ death on her. Additionally, Nolan may be accused of his murder and forced into hiding from Bailey Nune – which could threaten their relationship.
Alexi Hawley brings with him decades of experience as showrunner on other iconic TV series – we know he will bring that same magic to The Rookie!
