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?
The Rookie is my favorite Show. It is so realtistic, I know my late husband was LAPD. The actors are remarkable and are to be commended for doing such a great show. The Sergeant and his wife (in real life) are to be commended for helping a citizen of Laurel, Mississippi become a homeowner. Please Please Please do not cancel this show.
Please bring the Rookie back on for season 3, it’s a really good show!!!
I think this is an excellent show. I tell many friends about it and even some strangers. I think ABC is not counting all the people who watch on other venues or just buy the season on amazon even after it’s run a while. I think ABC makes money from all of these and should pay more attention. I’m down to only 2 shows left that I watch. I believe all they do is lose more viewers. I’m sure there advertisers won’t be too happy if there are more people like me.
If they do decide to cancel it, and I hope they don’t because I love the show, I hope they will provide some closure and will not leave us hanging of the “cliff” like some other shows have done.
If they do decide to cancel it, and I truly hope they don’t, I hope they provide some closure and do not leave us hanging off the cliff forever like some other shows have done.
I enjoy this show I would be disappointed if it were cancelled.
Maybe larger viewing on another night. I love this show!
I really love this show and am hoping it gets renewed for another season…great story line , great actors…and i think it’s a very funny drama.❤❤❤
love this show… really hope it gets renewed. I like the dynamics between the characters , story lines and the fact I am not subjected to gratuitous violence and overt sexual situations .
Love the rookie please please renew season 3
Please renew for season 3 – great show.
Great show. Enjoy the dynamics.
I’m with most of these replies. This is a show I can watch with my 14 year old grandson. I know there is a great demand for shows with extreme violence and sexual situations. I watch these shows myself occasionally; but I don’t want either type exclusively. I hope there aren’t too many people who only watch one kind of show. You should offer a variety of choices for your customers. Shows like The Rookie are few and far between. Please consider all of your customers.
I wanted so much to like this show. Was a big Castle fan. It just falls flat to me. I’m not interested in any of the characters except John but even that story line is wearing thin.
Love the show. Please renew!
