The Rookie will continue reporting for duty, TVLine has learned, now that the light ABC procedural has been renewed for Season 7.
TVLine’s Renewal/Cancellation Scorecard has thusly been updated (and we now have a new frontrunner in our annual Keep or Cut poll!)
Season-to-date, the Nathan Fillion-led ensemble series has been averaging more than 6 million total viewers and a 0.6 demo rating (with Live+7 playback), down just a hair from its Season 5 numbers — and while in a tougher time slot, now serving as the “hammock” between Tuesday’s new leadoff hitter, Will Trent, and the final season of The Good Doctor.
Out of the half-dozen dramas that ABC has aired this TV season, The Rookie ranks No. 3 in both measures (trailing only 9-1-1 and Will Trent in audience, and 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy in the demo).
The Rookie, currently on a(nother) break until April 30, has four episodes left to air during this strikes-shortened season, leading to a finale that cast member Eric Winter told TVLine is, as is tradition, “big.”
“We always throw everything into a finale,” Sgt. Tim Bradford’s portrayer shared with a laugh. “There are a lot of reveals, and as far as Tim and Lucy (played by Melissa O’Neil)” — who when last we tuned in went through an abrupt and ugly break-up — “they get some fun stuff together” involving “another great action sequence.
“Everybody’s out for the team and supporting each other,” Winter continued, “and it ends in a really nice way. And as far as Tim and Lucy, it leaves a nice sort of, I wouldn’t say closure or a guarantee of anything, but it leaves it in a place where there’s stuff to talk about” in Season 7.

This is another article in which you only mention Lucy by her first name, Matt Mitovich. Why is that? Again, please be more mindful that she’s the only Asian cast member and character on the show, and her last name speaks to her heritage. Feels like you’re erasing who she is.
Why is it that Tim’s last name gets mentioned but Lucy’s doesn’t?
He was quoting the actor, can’t add words he didn’t say.
He did add words that Eric didn’t say: “(played by Melissa O’Neil)”
All he had to do with slip this in: (Chen, played by Melissa O’Neil)
It’s a pattern with Matt Mitovich leaving Chen out. Meanwhile Sgt. Tim Bradford gets a title, first name, and last name in this article.
I hope this is the final season. The cases go overboard. John and Bailey are the most boring couple ever. Time to wind this one up.
Really. WAatching this show is like watching the Keyatone cops.
Good
I was a bit worried that the network was trying to kill it, with it being on break every other week
Sorry, but like so many shows it’s really losing quality. The longer they go on the more they stretch and milk it. It’s becoming so predictable now, along with very stupid stories, though with occasional good stories. It was, for me, two good then one bad episode, but now the opposite. The UK do better here: make a good thing and end it on a high note with viewers wanting more but not getting more, though only good memories. US shows just keep going to a point I can only tell myself to just quit and move on.
Best show I’ve seen in yrs,I live in Ireland,watched all four seasons,now can’t wait til seasons 5,6 & 7,its great
Awesome news!
