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.

Love the rookie!

Love The Rookie!
I really enjoy watching The Rookie and seeing Nathan going thru all the good and bad of bring a Lapd cop as a middle ages male. The supporting actors and actresses story lines also add a different level of cops bring human and facing life as cops. It would be sad to see the Rookie
canceled since most of TV is rewarmed sitcons or reality / no reality crap.

Please don’t cancel the Rookie. I don’t watch much TV, but I love this show; it’s one of the few that my husband and I watch together! It’s new and different from other cop shows, and the characters are great.
The Rookie is my favorite show, have not missed an episode, please do not cancel, I am patiently waiting for the new series to start, hopefully I don’t have to wait much longer. Also hope to see the same characters back, they are all awesome.
The Rookie is my favorite show. Each character is important. Would love for this show to be renewed many seasons in the future. It’s too good of a show to cancel.
Loved this show PLEASE don’t cancel it.
The Rookie is a terrific show with talented actors and interesting storylines; it deserves to be renewed for another season!
