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.

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.

I love this series, love Nathan and the cast. And the premise of the show is great. Please don’t cancel!!!!
I absolutely love ” The Rookie” on ABC. I look forward to watching it every Sunday.
Please renew it ABC.
Do not cancel rookie
This is my absolute favorite crime tv series and I am Anxiously awaiting the release of the 3rd season!!!
I will also be seriously upset with ABC if they decide to cancel seeing as they left the season finale at a cliffhanger with Lucy Chen in deep trouble
Please renew The Rookie! I love the show!
I really love this show! It’s my favorite!!
We absolutely love the The Rookie, very entertaining!
I enjoy watching it and I never watch TV but pick one show every year. I picked this one because Nathan was my father’s name and Fillion has worked on a movie that was a Shakespeare adaptation. So I’m trying to keep your standards up. I can see that it’s not easy.
The Rookie is my favorite show on television, I catch it online because it’s on so late, but I’m going to leave the t.v. on just to help the ratings.
I would love to see the series come back for a third season.
Please don’t cancel The Rookie! Love the show and one of the best this season

Please keep this the reality shows leave a lot to be desired

Intensely dislike new lady brought on to replace Nathan’s TO from last season. She’s just as bad and unlikable as the rest. Most interesting thing going on is the lawyer that got shot and now is afraid to be out of the house (ptsd). And when that’s the most interesting thing…it just… Read more »
Marley I beg to differ the show has all kinds of excitement, comedy, drama, and it is very interesting I thoroughly enjoy it. And Nathan Fillion boy need I say more his boy scout demeanor, compassionate caring outlook on situations and he is a man of Honor all things real cop should have I think he is a fantastic actor. I also don’t know how you can say the other actors in the show are so bad they’re doing a great job.
Please keep it going and renew
Please renew the Rookie!
