ABC has brought Rookie Blue, their summer cop series, back for a fourth season. The show is produced in Canada so its fate isn’t neccesarily dependent on US ratings. However, whether ABCcancels the series or wants to bring it back certainly is. Will Rookie Blue be back for a fifth season? Time will tell.
The fourth season of Rookie Blue typically airs Thursday nights and there are 13 new episodes once again. The cast includes Missy Peregrym, Gregory Smith, Eric Johnson, Travis Milne, Peter Mooney, Enuka Okuma, Charlotte Sullivan, and Ben Bass.

What do you think? Do you still like the Rookie Blue TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
Please bring this show Backkkkkkkk!
Definitely need to bring the show back! It was really really good!
This is. really a great show but please Andy and Sam need to get married already. No more crazy distractions . Get rid of the chick who seems to want Sam back after Sam and Andy finally got back together. Otherwise I look forward to a series renewal for summer 2015.
please keep rookie blue! i love this show!
This show started sucking really bad. Only Peter Mooney saved the show. We have had more than enough of dumb “Andy & Sam”. Kill them both off.

Started off good, tanked very fast in S2, S3 was the pits and S4 the worst until Peter’s character Nick upped the ante with his excellent acting.

Think you need some more research. It was renewed a few months ago, and season 5 should air in January 2014 http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/2013/07/18/rookie_blue_renewed_for_fifth_season.html
I typically add renewals/cancellations as updates to ratings posts but forgot to add one here. Thanks for your note. Production starts in early 2014 but season five won’t air on ABC until next summer.
