What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, The Rookie TV show stars Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin Jr., Melissa O’Neil, and Eric Winter. The series follows the experiences of John Nolan (Fillion), a middle-aged divorced man from Pennsylvania. He owns a construction company but decides to give up his old life to pursue a new career as a police officer in the Los Angeles Police Department. He graduates from the Police Academy and becomes the oldest rookie on the force. He works with Sergeant Wade Grey (Jones), training officers Angela Lopez (Diaz) and Tim Bradford (Winter), and fellow rookies Jackson West (Makin Jr.) and Lucy Chen (O’Neil). As season two begins, John is six months into his career as a cop and is put to the test by new challenges, romantic relationships, and potentially deadly situations.

What do you think? Are you glad that The Rookie TV show has been renewed for a third season? How would you feel if ABC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Please please please do not cancel the rookie you canceled castle which I was upset about I love watching the rookie it could be on 5 nights a week,
T hope the Rookie gets a season 3 it is an awesome show
Absolutely fantastic show! Why is it finished so early ? I wait patiently for it every week. Nathan Fillion and cast are excellent in these roles. There should be no question that it should be renewed! It’s so well done!
Chen is drugged and in the trunk of a car. If they cancel it I want to see the script that does not take a rocket scientist to know that there’s a script already written for episode 1 season 3. You don’t put Chen the trunk and then say- oh stop! ABC : let’s not be a bunch of killjoy mofos and cancel The Rookie.
I love The Rookie show with Nathan Fillion. Please don’t cancel it. It has a bit of everything (drama and a bit of humor) just like life.

I have enjoyed the show & look forward to the next season. I record it so I dont miss a show. The acting is good & it addresses serious issues but also adds a funny side when the tension is released with no canned laughter! It genuine & has more depth each season!
I have enjoyed the show a great deal & hope it is renewed. It also left a cliff hanger, good idea so I want to know what happens!!
The rookie gets better with each season. It appeals to the 40+ and yoinger audience. I am 45 would watch this show with my 20 yr old sister and her 23 year old bf.
Please renew The Rookie for Season 3. Nathan Fillion needs to be on tv! This show is so action packed and the cast is amazing. But the real star of the show is all Nathan Fillion. This is different from him on Castle. This role as a police officer was made for him. The bonus is he plays an extremely sexy cop.
The Rookie should come back for another season. It continued to get better and finished w a strong cliffhanger. I hope that it gets renewed!
Please renew The Rookie for 3rd season. One of Few suspense shows without alot of violent graphics!
Yes, renew for season 3, love that show.
I love the Rookie! Please don’t cancel!
I have been waiting for the part 2 of the cliff hanger for The Rookie! What is going on? Why would they cancel in the middle of a cliff hanger !? ABC really does not care about their viewers
Please renew. We love the show.
