What’s This TV Show About?
An ABC comedy-drama, The Rookie stars Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin, Mercedes Mason, Melissa O’Neil, Afton Williamson, and Eric Winter. The story centers on John Nolan (Fillion), a small-town guy who, after a life-changing experience, decides to pursue his dream of being an LAPD officer. Now he’s the oldest rookie on the force, and the brass thinks he’s just having a midlife crisis. He’s got to keep up with his younger co-workers (not to mention young criminals) or he’ll risk lives. Maybe though, he can use the experience he’s gained with age, and the determination he has developed over the years, to make a real go of it. Either way, he’s got a secret weapon — his sense of humor.

Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew The Rookie for season two? The ratings haven’t been very good but I suspect the network will give this series every chance to succeed. My guess is that it will be cancelled but ABC could renew it and make some changes to try to improve the ratings. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Are you glad that The Rookie TV show has been renewed for a second season? How would you feel if ABC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
I love this show and dont you dare to cancel a show that is real, entertaining, that just because one got old it doesn’t mean that you are done in life or hang your shoes. This is one of the best yet. ABC has cancelled my favor shows but have to deal with more and more commercials every time I watch TV. Is enough. You stop this tv show and I will not watch ABC EVER AGAIN. Boycott forever!
I can’t exactly figure out whether “The Rookie” has been cancelled or renewed? As an “oldster” I loved the shoe and Fillion!
