(ABC)
John and his fellow officers will be back on the beat for the 2021-22 broadcast season. ABC has renewed The Rookie TV show for a fourth year.
A police drama series, 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 three begins, John nears the end of his training and must come to terms with the choices he made in pursuit of the truth.
Airing on Sunday nights, the third season of The Rookie averages a 0.49 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.73 million viewers in the live+same day ratings. Compared to season two, that’s down by 24% in the demo and down by 14% in viewership. There are just 14 episodes this season (due to the pandemic) and final two will air Sunday night.
The ABC renewal announcement was made via social media:
Congratulations to #TheRookie – we will be back for another season on ABC!

I enjoyed this show, would love to see season 4
Love it!
Thankx for renewing The Rookie for another season! Hint of approx month/year when starts again? I love this show-the entire cast-plus the pregnant bride MUST be back for her wedding first episode next season!!
YES LOVE THIS Show. I do get SICK Of it Being BUMPED for other STUPID Crap being shown in its Place!
Yes I like this show
Excellent! So happy to see the network can value a series featuring maturity, humor, well-developed characters, a balanced and fair presentation of policing! This series is set apart from most of the cop procedurals, and more power to it. It’s compelling and fun to watch.
Really happy to hear it’s been renewed. Love this show!!!
Really happy that The Rookie is still going. I love it!
I just love The Rookie and especially Nathan Fillion. I would love to meet him in person and the movie “Waitress” was great and especially because of Nathan. I have watched it every time it was on and I can’t get enough of The Rookie.
The ratings Program is terrible how did this get renewed again
Very nice. I just hope next season they stop forcing antipolice plot and back to normal. I watch TV shows for entertainment but now almost every show is trying to push some agenda. We have it enough in mainstream media already. Season 2 ended in very interesting moment, I was hoping it would go further for at leat few episodes but they killed it in 1st ep of s03. BTW: The most annoying person in season 3 is that ethics (LOL!) teacher. She is so biased.
Brilliant show,thought is was going to be cancelled like many others they have to give it time.
They need a better time slot. This show is too good to be stuck on a Sunday!
So glad this is coming back. Now all it needs is Stana Katic as the new chief of police!
Don’t bet your soul on that happening.
The story of how “Castle” ended was not at all a pretty one. I doubt very much that you would ever see Stana & Nathan working together again.
Yayyyyyy!!! Great to hear!!!
I really, really, really miss Castle!!!!!
