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?
Awesome show, love Nathan and the entire cast who make this show special. So pleased it has been renewed and I’m looking forward to season 3 and the individual character development. Hoping John Nolan’s role is promoted and his onscreen relationship with the doctor will continue to grow and more guest stars (also from his Castle days) will be back. Keep it going for many more exciting seasons. When given the proper time slot, viewership will rise as more people realize how wonderful this show is becoming and see the amazing chemistry with the cast. Way to go ABC!
I totally agree!!
Very glads to hear this. I think the season 2 ending was due to the virus shutting down production, but it sure made quite the cliff hanger.
Since S1E1 this show (The Rookie) has been an exceptional drama/comedy presentation. A talented & diverse cast who are as likable as they are believable. Thank you for the renewal.
This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long long time. Very glad it has been renewed for the next season.
I LOVE LOVE this show! All of the actors are perfect! Can’t
wait!
Just made my day! Thank you! My family very much enjoys this show. Season 3 can’t come fast enough!
Mine too!
I hope they do not take all season to resolve the question that the cliffhanger left for us. And what is Grace thinking??
Yayyyyyy!!!
Great show, never miss it , per set just in case don’t want to miss anything
Love this series hoping it wont be cancelled any time soon.
I did not see that coming—how Season 2 ended. I can’t wait to see what the writers have in store for us in Season 3.
The Rookie is an amazing TV series. I hope they not only make season 3, but many more please!
Cannot wait until Season 3 premieres. Love the show and all the characters.
Such an awesome show. Season 3 can’t come fast enough definitely worth the wait☺☺
Great series. Look forward to Sunday evenings to watch with the family! Glad it was renewed for a 3rd season
