Fans were overjoyed to learn of The Rookie’s sixth season renewal and took to social media platforms such as Twitter to express their excitement and thank Nathan Fillion for making such an announcement.
Nathan Fillion stars as John Nolan, a middle-aged divorced businessman who attends police academy to become an officer. Additional cast includes Alyssa Diaz, Richard T Jones, Melissa O’Neil, Eric Winter and Shawn Ashmore with Lisseth Chavez making occasional appearances.
The Rookie is an award-winning police drama with an ardent following, garnering viewers beyond traditional live viewing. As evidenced by its steadily increasing multiplatform ratings over its five seasons on ABC, The Rookie has now been renewed for another.
The finale of The Rookie season 5 left viewers on an intriguing cliffhanger; we can now rejoice that it has been renewed for season 6. It will be exciting to witness what transpires when season 6 resumes!
One of the key questions that must be resolved soon will be whether Aaron Thorsen survived or perished during the season finale of The Rookie. This should likely be revealed during its sixth season – still months away!
Nathan Fillion has made it clear that he will return for season 6 of The Rookie. Additionally, he recently confirmed his involvement in James Gunn’s DC Universe movie Superman: Legacy without interfering with his work on The Rookie. Although no release date is known yet for season 6, fans can watch previous episodes on Hulu.
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 will take a brief hiatus for one week due to President Joe Biden addressing Congress, preempting many shows including The Rookie. But don’t fret too much: Episode 15 is set to air this Tuesday on ABC!
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.
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!
