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 renew! My husband and I love the show. The silliness, the seriousness and the love stories. Love it all!
I’ve always been a fan of Nathan Fillion since Firefly! This is a fun show to watch until they do what all network shows seem to enamored with now! Forcing everyone to be subjected to their LGBT brainwashing! Leave that crap out and renew the show!!
Take out some of silliness, more serious stories which seemed to be the new norm
Want it to be renewed
I think it should have a third season. Good storylines and great acting. Fun show to watch.
If ABC does not renew The Rookie for a 3rd season I think I will be done with ABC evening shows. If you intend to end a show, don’t leave it with a cliff hanger for the last show. At least let it run out with a conclusion. All the more reason to only watch a series on Showtime, HBO, or other Pay TV networks.
I really hope they renew for season 3! Please, please, please!
The Rookie has Ultimately been one of my favorite Night Time shows! I look forward to seeing it every week and was so disappointed in the ending of season two that I can hardly stand it!
I truly hope that The Rookie comes back for season Three.
Thoroughly enjoying the Rookie please renew for 3rd season.
Yes!!! A thousand times Yes!!
