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 am so happy The Rookie has been renewed for another season. My favorite show on tv
I am THRILLED to see “The Rookie” has been renewed!!! Nathan Fillion is a wonderful actor who seems to always put his all into his roles!
It seems every time a decent show is started, Network bigwigs decide it isn’t stupid enough and pull it- especially if it requires any cerebral thinking!!
Finally a good move with this show…..Can’t wait for MORE of “The Rookie”!!!
I love the rookie!!! Everyone on the show is spectacular!!! Please don’t take it off.
I absolutely love ” The Rookie ” all of the characters are so well developed, the writing (storytelling) is wonderful & quite addicting. The actors are incredible; I’ve actually grown quite attached to many of them. & I’m not a habitual tv series watcher!
Love this show, glad it will be back. It seems network TV seems to want reality TV, game shows or only drama with, “Chicago…” in front if it (Referring to Chicago PD, Chicago Med, Chicago Fire).
We love The Rookie’ !!!
Yes. I can’t wait for Season 3. The stories are compelling and relatable. There is a well-balanced measure of comedy and drama. The cast is great and Eric Winter is my favorite. I hope ABC keeps it going for many more seasons.
I really like The Rookie with its dialogues, action, and realistic Cop & Citizen themes I remember when a certified reserve policeman in Arizona back in 76-77.
I’m looking forward Bradford and Chen working together and their relationship. I ship them.
Will definitely watch season 3….very enjoyable series!
Please keep the Rookie show coming! Can’t wait for third season!!
I love this show (The Rookie) I would be extremely disappointed if they cancelled it
It’s a great series. Shows hard working police who are fair and even caring depending on the situations
This is a side the public needs to be aware of.
Loved series 1 and 2 waiting to see what happens in series 3
Don’t be surprised if it’s cancelled due to the anti-police sentiment.
I hope not!! This could be a perfect platform to show the brave men and women’s views of the Black Lives Matter movement, protestors AND police officers. An episode may be helpful to decrease some of the tensions portrayed. The whole BLM movement and protests have been politicized by President Frump (yes, I said FRUMP) in my opinion. We ALL need to support our police AND peaceful protestors! Not a protestors are inciting violence and destruction. We ARE still America are we not? Stop the hate!!
I agree ! This show shows the human side of the police & also how difficult their decisions are !
I love the Rookie, I was not sure if I would, but it is always good. Hoping the crazy world will not have a bad effect on the police show, I love it, it gives people a view of what the officers have to deal with, Hoping it continues on for many seasons..
