Nathan Fillion isn’t taking his badge off anytime soon. ABC just announced they’ve ordered a third season of The Rookie for the 2020-21 broadcast season.
The comedy-drama stars Fillion as a small-town guy who, after a life-changing experience, decides to pursue his dream of being an LAPD officer. Now he’s the oldest rookie on the force, and the brass thinks he’s just having a midlife crisis. The cast also includes Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin, Mercedes Mason, Melissa O’Neil, Afton Williamson, and Eric Winter.
The second season of The Rookie averaged a 0.64 rating in the 18-49 demo and 4.32 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s a 12% decrease in the demo and a 4% increase in overall viewership. Compared to other ABC scripted series, The Rookie has been a middle-of-the-road performer.
What do you think? Have you seen The Rookie TV show on Sunday nights? Will you watch season three of this ABC series?
Very, very, very GLAD.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE this show. Hope it stays
ON for a long run.
I love The Rookie and will definitely watch season 3.
Keep it going, going, going, going…….
for the Rookie.
So happy the Rookie will be returning for a third season. It’s different then any other police show ever.
Best show!!
Love the show. So glad it was renewed
It may have been midrange for demo but of all but two shows The Rookie had the lowest drop in demo between 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 seasons of both comedies and dramas. AND in a death slot of Sunday night 10P! I am SOOOOOOOO excited it’s coming back. It’s a great show. I love all the characters but I’ll watch Nathan Fillion in anything.
Great show! I’m thrilled that Season 3 is coming back! Season 2 had one heluva cliffhanger! I can’t wait. Now if ABC could only pick up “Tommy,” since CBS dropped it.
That would be perfect! I liked “Tommy” also, I feel it wasn’tgiven enough time for viewers to get attached to the characters. Sad to see it go!
So happy the Rookie will return for a third season. It is my favorite TV show
Glad!
I love The Rookie! So glad to see Nathan coming back in the Fall, especially after the cliffhanger at the end of season 2.
