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?
I love the rookies. Please bring it back for season 3
Please renew THE ROOKIE. Sgt Nolan is the cop everyone would want to show up if one is in crisis. He is humane and hard-balled at the same time. Please, please renew. Plus, how are we going to find out what happens to Lucy in the oil drum (or whatever she was shoved into by that “nice man” she met at the bar)? Please renew!
Mary I totally agree I hate it when they cancel the series and leave everything hanging at the end so you don’t know what happens I would be very sad if they canceled the show let’s just hope that they film enough to tie up Loose Ends so we know what happened to these characters if they do decide to cancel which I hope they don’t
We love this show! Please renew it!!!
One of the best shows on tv! Not another sitcom, not another stupid bachelor circus, no naked survivors, not brutal reality. Just good entertainment! Please bring The Rookie back.
Please renew this show! Hubby and I faithfully watch it. Keeps us on the edge of our seats. It’s the right amount of suspense, humor and great story lines. The fans deserve a season 3 with the cliff hanger you left us at the end of season 2 at least. I just hope you guys keep making more.
Great show. Look forward to it every week.

My husband and i love The Rookie. To nice two have a show without all the bad language in it. My two grown children and their families watch the show to.
Yes definitely season 3 for the Rookie!!! What are you waiting for? Especially given the times we are in today with all the hate and negativity seeing a show where a policeman actually cares for all people regardless of race or standing in the community what better message could you convey??

Yes, I absolutely love this show and the actors and actresses are excellent in the series. I really hope they do not cancel the show I enjoy it very much.

My husband and I LOVE this series. The story line stays fresh and up to date on what is going on in our streets and cities. Drama with comedy let’s us keep up with what is happening in real life without being to heavy.
