The Rookie is inspired by a true story. John Nolan is the oldest rookie in the LAPD. At an age where most are at the peak of their career, Nolan cast aside his comfortable, small town life and moved to L.A. to pursue his dream of being a cop. Now, surrounded by rookies twenty years his junior, Nolan must navigate the dangerous, humorous and unpredictable world of a "young" cop, determined to make his second shot at life count.

Piglet 3 points 2 years ago.

I found the spin-off silly and I just can’t bring myself to watch it but looks like I’ll have to because of the crossover.

Alien 1 points 2 years ago.

DragonPapa 1 points 3 years ago.

What was the reason???

whatmywifedoesntknow 0 points 3 years ago.

he had kicked up a stink in season 3 saying he wanted more political story line specifically addressing him being an officer of colour they gave in . Ratings dropped in season 3 and the producers refused to pander for season 4 . He dropped out the show and they killed him off

sonical 2 points 3 years ago. 5/5 stars.

Very well written,people and stories flow smoothly, easy and yet interesting to watch.

laurie621 1 points 5 years ago. 5/5 stars.

This cop show is like they use to be…about the characters and their relationships between each other. Each show has an individual story to tell instead of an ongoing soap opera type and no cussing, sex or violence. If you prefer a show being interesting on it’s own merit instead of being pornish and gruesome, you will probably like this one. an easy 5 stars-

Piglet 1 points 2 months ago.

The Rookie will air an hour early (starting 2-18-25) due to High Potential finishing its first season.

Piglet 1 points 1 year ago.

Filming for The Rookie Season 6 has not yet commenced. If filming does start soon, we can expect to see the new season make its premiere in early 2024.

leatard 0 points 1 year ago. 5/5 stars.

That’s pretty much the case for all the shows. Can’t wait!!

wynixqueen 1 points 3 years ago.

This show gets better by the season! Keep it up!

Macgee 1 points 26 days ago.

Some of the stories are subpar now a days

Piglet 1 points 3 months ago.

Season 7 starts next Tuesday and some news on one of the characters. The Rookie season 7 returns on Tuesday, January 7 with one major change. Tru Valentino announced that he would not be returning as Officer Aaron Thorsen for the upcoming batch of episodes, despite playing a major role in the series since season 4.

Pad Solo 1 points 11 months ago.
