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?
I watch in europe the show the rookie and i enjoyed it immensly. I can not wait to see the third seison.
I really really enjoy the show The Rookie. I think because there is some humour in there and seriousness. Please don’t cancel
Absolutely love the show. Each season gets better, excitement and drama.
My entire family is very happy to hear that the Rookie is renewed. We wish that Mercedes (Capt. Zoe Anderson) character wasn’t killed off however. (maybe she has a twin that can come back). She added an element that seems missing now. We love the current cast, but really felt the chemistry between her and John Nolan could have developed further. If not, let’s hope that John Nolan’s character and the awesome doctor will grow this season. Like in Castle, Nathan had so many wonderful and emotional ties and a love story with Beckett that kept many viewers coming back… Read more »
I never miss an episode of The Rookie, happy it will have a third seaso.
This is a great show. I work my schedule around to make sure I watch it.
Excellent show! So glad ABC renewed for a third season. It’s one show I get excited to watch every week. Thank you ABC!
Many thanks to the powers that be – we are getting #3 of “The Rookie”! Love the show, love Nathan Fillion, and love the rest of the cast. Can’t wait – we really were left on the edge of a deep precipice with that ending! Hope there will be a way soon to start creating this great show!
We love “The Rookie” and are so glad to see it renewed. It’s one of the few shows we watch on TV.
I thought it was a great show, I’m not sure why your saying that it dropped rating, because I think it’s a great show. My wife and I have stopped watching other shows because of the content. This is the only show we have left to watch now because it’s still a good show, so “Please keep it that way” Thanks
Great show! Glad it is returning!
It is my FAVORITE TV show and I will be very thrilled if it continues on and on. I would be very upset if it ever cancels.
Like the show very much and will continue to watch. Happy it’s been renewed.
Awesome news!! The Rookie has been renewed for Season 3! Loved this show from the very beginning and will eagerly await the start of next season. Hoping many more seasons of this great show. Thanks ABC!
I’m glad they are renewing The Rookie. I like the show and I think the cast is great! Big Fillion fan!
