Tonight marks the sixth season finale of Rookie Blue and it may end up being the last episode of the series as well. It’s been rumored that season six would be the end of the series and ABC and Shaw Media have yet to announce a final decision.
Tassie Cameron has been Rookie Blue’s showrunner from the beginning and has said that she plans step down to do other projects. Writer Sherry White is ready to take over if a seventh season is ordered.
The ratings for season six of Rookie Blue are way down — about 30% — when compared to the numbers from season five. It’s one of ABC’s lowest-rated summer series right now but the network is short on scripted programming.
If tonight’s episode ends up being the finale, actress Missy Peregrym is satisfied with the way things turned out. Here’s an excerpt from an interview with THR:
How would you feel if this ends up being a series finale?
You can always play a character forever if it’s close to life, and I grew as my character. I think everybody kind of grew with their characters, and there are so many different directions you can take it if it goes on. It’s easy to go into the next phase of things, maybe family life. But I don’t know. I’m really happy with the way that this one was wrapped up. I think it’s a gift if you can close a series down by choice instead of being canceled. That’s so rare. We’ve had the same team for six years and that’s really important. I love Sherry, she’s been a part of us since the beginning as well. She would make a great showrunner and it would make perfect sense if we continued forward with her. But I think we’re all feeling… it was super emotional. It felt like we were saying goodbye when we were filming this episode. That was the energy.Have you spoken with Sherry about where things could go?
Definitely. We’ve had some discussions about it, but at the end of the day you need to have a pickup to really explore where things could go. You need to know the people that you get to work with, who your cast is. There are just so many things to put together before you can continue something like this. So until the decision is there we’re kind of at a standstill. Sherry is the right person to keep this moving forward. She’s very talented with writing character-driven scenes. Of course I would love to work with her in that capacity.
What do you think? Should there be a seventh season of Rookie Blue or, should the show be cancelled after tonight’s finale? Is this a good place to leave the characters?
Yes, please Renew the show. It gives us such hope and inspiration!!!!!!!!!
Please renew ROOKIE BLUE!! It’s a great show with a good storyline & actors! Loved the season finale of the wedding of Sam & McNally!
Please renew this show. The storylines are excellent. My family and I look forward to this show during the summer. We love the show and watch every episode that is shown.
Please renew, Great characters, great storyline And I would look Very much forward to see season 7
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RENEW. Season 6 finale was aired in South Africa last Monday and I can’t wait for Season 7 to start. Sure, I am so not a fan of the McNally/Swarek drama (I was always team McNally/Callaghan), but that is the beauty of this show is that the so-called supporting actors have enough presence that the show is not one dimensional. Well done to Canadian TV, which is something sadly missing in majority of the shows in the US. Someone mentioned above that we are sick and tired of reality shows that’s for sure. We need content base… Read more »
Bring it back for another season as it is one of the finest happiness great shows on TV. It’s wonderful to see such a good cast and how they work together
Please don’t cancel! By way of watching all episodes again of Rookie Blue: hats off to the Executive team & writers and cast of characters. A hilarious, yet serious cop show set in Toronto. The individual expressions, wit and sarcasm each actor plays very well. The first two episodes alone lead with eager & much surprizing initiative, McNally botching a drug sting in the series opener to looking for an informant. Literally taking down ‘no rules undercover’ Swarek, feeling pleased with herself, to in season six finale, marrying the guy. …..oh just lovin’ the adventure Sir and advice from dad.… Read more »
Agree!
We love these Canadian actors and shows. Better quality and content.
Hollywood is for the most part full of silly sitcoms, Boring, big yawn. No depth. We hate reality shows, and want the
actors to not bash us with politics or agendas, just great
writing, characters who are believable and terrific storylines.
Everytime I find a show I love, low and behold they all ar filmed in Canada and most are Canadian Actors.
Keep it up!
Please don’t cancel it have to be another season I always look forward to watching it every week and it’s one of my favorite shows I can’t imagine you guys even thinking about cancelling it.
There too much heart in this show to let it pass. It’s THE show that my week revolves around. Please keep it going
I hope it returns; my family loves this show! It wouldn’t be the first series to change character roles or continue with new actors. The current group has made the show interesting but having them advance careers and train a new group of rookies could also work.
Excellent show good writing and well acted but I think it should end here. Starting another season with all new rookies is not something to look forward to. It was the original characters that kept me interested.
I love the show and will be very sad to see it cancelled as I have been watching from the beginning. It felt like that was the ending of the series after the wedding. Have they already decided and just haven’t told the viewers yet because that was a perfect ending. I’m very attached to the characters as they have grown through the story line. Please don’t Cancel.!!
The ending was a satisfactory resolution, so I won’t consider it disastrous if the series ends. But I also think another season would be a good thing. The characters are plausible, the plot lines are interesting and not overdrawn, and the acting and writing are both good. So I upvote contunuation, but won’t lose sleep if it ends.
LOVE ROOKIE BLUE..PLEASE PLEASE RENEW!!
Definitely RENEW !! My husband and I have watched from the beginning !! It’s a great show and we feel like were right there with them.. Threw all the happiness and pain . Its a dramatic show with a serious and emotional plot !! we just love it BRING IT BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
