(ABC/Eric McCandless)
A comedy-drama, The Rookie stars Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin, Mercedes Mason, Melissa O’Neil, Afton Williamson, and Eric Winter. The story centers on John Nolan (Fillion), 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. He’s got to keep up with his younger co-workers (not to mention young criminals) or he’ll risk lives. Maybe though, he can use the experience he’s gained with age, and the determination he has developed over the years, to make a real go of it. Either way, he’s got a secret weapon — his sense of humor.

I will watch season 2
I feel The Rookie found its stride in the last half of the first season. Nathan F. was my hook but I’ve come to care about the other characters; Tim, the Sargent and Chen are terrific.
I am so happy that The Rookie is coming back for a second season! Nathan Fillion is a fantastic actor and not so bad on thee eyes either 😉 Congrats to the whole team of The Rookie — can’t wait to see what y’all have next for us!
Yes I will most definitely watch every new episode of The Rookie!! I am thrilled it has been renewed!
I am delighted to learn that THE ROOKIE has been renewed. I have watched each episode, and shall continue to do so. Thank you
YAY – so pleased to read THE ROOKIE will be returning for a second season. Season One’s Finale episode was a real cliffhanger. Many thanks, ABC.
Wish they would advertise this show more. Has humor and drama. Nathan Fillon is charming but believable in the roll. Really love the show.
Whew! I was really sweating this one out. Glad it was renewed.
I was totally sweating this one out! I am so glad they renewed it… I don’t think that I have ever kept checking back to see if ANY show was renewed before THE ROOKIE … So glad it’s coming back!
I think it is an amazing show—the story lines, drama, humour , acting and most of all the action/special effects. I love the show! So happy to see it renewed. Years ago I lost my favourite show The Glades with a very devastating ending and it was not renewed. Didn’t watch A&E for two years I was so upset. Glad The Rookie will be around for another season
