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 can’t wait for new season of the rookie. Love the show. My daughter watches very little tv but this is one show we watch together.
I love The Rookie. I am very happy to hear it’s coming back. I usually don’t watch ABC but this show & Chicago PD have me tuning in every week.
Love love love The Rookie !!
The Rookie is probably the only broadcast show we watch! We need it! My kids watch it as well.
“The Rookie” shouldn’t be cancelled! It’s not only one of the best shows on today but a reason to look forward to Sunday night! It also gives people in their forties it’s never to late to change careers and go after your dreams.
So happy Rookie was renewed. I love this show!
