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?
Love this show!! Please renew!!
It’s understandable that the title, The Rookie, implies that the status will end. But, I find the interaction of the lead characters very entertaining. I hope the TV show’s writers will come up with a creative way to continue the series for several more seasons.
I love this show! Can’t believe it might be cancelled
i think maybe the rating was down a little you had it on the same time as Sunday night football and also so late why 10.00 pm i think a lot more people would watch like during the week and maybe hour earlier i hope you bring it back i like that show
