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?
I love Rookie Blue. I look forward to it every week. I would hate to see such an awesome show to get cancelled and of course Ben Bass is awesome.
Please don’t cancel, great show. .
Keep it. The show has so much potential for growth, and different story lines.
I agree with Dan H. on my levels. After watching last night’s episode I was starting to get lost. Tran-gendre issues are so sensitive and I don’t think “that show” was able to communicate how complicated and emotional this issue is. Was it trown in for ratings? Andy wines too much and the show is too much about her. You have a cast of wonderful actors and the characters are rich. Would like to know more about them, ie: doing an episode about the death of Dov’s brother, it’s been left up in the air. The male roles need to… Read more »
I totally agree with you. It needs to be about other characters not just Andy
me and all my friends love it. we want more season. Rookie Blue is great.
The first season of “Rookie Blue” was great. A consistently good plot line that was complimented by excellent writing and strong characters. By the end of the second season, it went from being a gripping show to being an unrealistic soap opera. If a real police officer screwed up as many times as the Rookie Blue class of officers, they would have been terminated, long ago.

Love it keep it and get rid of all these stupid shows. Also I think you should go get the show Jersey Girl from CH 2 and make it a summer show
Yes it should be renewed.
Please don’t cancel! Love the show!
We love rookie blue. PLEASE DONT CANCEL IT. We love all of the characters and the story lines.
Please don’t cancel! It’s a great show! The actors are so good, the storylines are great! I love this show…please don’t cancel!
I LOVE THE SHOW ROOKIE BLUE, I HOPE THAT IT DOES NOT GET CANCELLED, IF SO I’M GOING TO BE ONE PISSED OFF B***H!!!! YOU GUYS MADE US WAIT ALL OF THIS TIME TO SEE THE FIRST TWO EPISODES, AND THEN YOU TAKE IT OFF OF THE AIR. WHY? YOU NEED TO PUT IT BACK ON THE AIR SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF CAN WATCH THE SHOW. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT OFF OF THE AIR, I WATCHED THIS SHOW RELIGIOUSLY AND GOT A DVR SO THAT I COULD RECORD THEM IF I HAPPENED TO MISS ANY OF THEM.… Read more »
Please don’t cancell I look forward to my Thursdays I love this show!!!!!
