I just saw on some other site for tv shows, that the air time for the 7th season was announced.

Countdown: 3 months 2 weeks
Date: Wed Jan 22, 2025

I personally trust that site so, in case anyone else was curious about the show... well, it will start next year on January.

Just watched the Rookie Season 5 Episode 18. It was sad, disappointing and downright dumb. The whole plot was unbelievable and kind of ridiculous.

this show started of as a very good very strong procedure show with interesting character development. Now this one precinct is at war with a major drug cartel. Yeah just stupid. The LAPD has about 10 billion great story lines they could pull from this is the best you can do? Get back to procedure. Correct gear, wearing vests, all the time. EXT EXT. Pull some story arcs right from the department. This can still be a great show.

I love [love] this show. It blends ❤ cultures and characters with differing opinions in a way that lends to healthy conversations. It has action, romance, family, and friendship in a way I've ❤ only seen in Bluebloods so far.

I love The Rookie! I have to say I tried to watch The Feds Rookie and just can't. So I really hope that if that show doesn't make it won't effect the OG - The Rookie.

I love the show. To not bring it back for season 5 would be disappointing. My favorite scenes include Bradford giving Chim a hard time. Was thinking that was over with until the end of the latest episode.

Season 4, Episode 1 - IF the thought of Jackson gone can be forgotten, then the saving of Lopez and husband sequences are great, but the loss of Jackson could not be forgotten.
Questions!
Why wasn't there a funeral for Jackson?
Where are Jackson's parents?
Why was there a tombstone for Jackson when there was no time to NO time to grieve.
Why jump 3 months?
Why isn't Luna at the homecoming of Lopez and baby?

He did have a tombstone at the end of the episode when Lopez was at the grave site with the baby

Great characters and actors, but I was disappointed at the end of the finale. Poor choice. Why not just give us a happy ending to hold us until 2022? I'm supposed to feel suspense until then? I don't think so. I'd like to see more real policing. Remember Southland, anyone?

The rookie is the best show on TV I don’t take my eyes off for a minute or even pause during the whole show. Think twice before canceling you would be making a terrible mistake.
The rookie has everything you can ask for good acting good cast great storylines please don’t cancel the show.

Season 1&2 were excellent. Season 3 just threw away all that great work and character development for a season long cringeworthy leftist woke lecture. Not surprised if it is not renewed for a fourth season.

Well, following the situation in the states, they needed to go this way (play it save), or they would be butchered. I agree the forced racial statements feel really forced and on the nose, but I still enjoyed the characters....

I love watching Nathan Fillian in any series, even "The Rookie" he did a very good job, in "Castle."
and "Firefly." Plus the movies he was in..

There is an old Outer Limits (latest series, though) episode that you should try to catch, Starcrossed. He is so young! It was even before Two Guys and a Girl.

Good show, but not great....there are so many inaccuracies from a real-world perspective as it relates to the job though. These Rookies experienced more in a season on the job than some real world officers do in a 30 year career of policing, so while the premise is sound and it's entertaining TV, it's just that.....entertaining. Don't watch expecting things to reflect reality.

Love the show too. Yes, it pertains very little to policing but let's be honest high stakes calls are rare in real life, thank God, but would not want to watch a show about a cop writing 5 tickets a day and given millions of verbal warnings lol.
