Castle ran for many years on ABC, and maybe, just maybe, Nathan Fillion’s latest series will be as lucky. Today was a good first step. The network has renewed The Rookie for a second season.

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.

Airing on Tuesday nights, the first season of The Rookie averaged a 0.73 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.17 million viewers.

Out of the 21 scripted ABC TV shows of the 2018-19 season, The Rookie is in 14th place in the demo and ninth place in total viewership.
