We finally know when The Rookie Season 7 is going to premiere!
The ABC drama ended its sixth season back in May, but when it aired, we knew that we’d have to wait until 2025 for it to return. The good news? Season 7 should air uninterrupted as a result.
Below, we’re taking a look at everything we know about The Rookie Season 7, from its cast to the premiere date and more.
Where did The Rookie’s Season 6 finale leave off?
By the end of the final, there are three major threats free: Monica (Bridget Regan), Oscar (Matthew Glave), and Jason (Steve Kazee), and it’s that last one, Bailey’s (Jenna Dewan) ex-husband, who’s the one we should be most concerned about, executive producer Alexi Hawley told TV Insider.
“I think Jason’s probably the most immediate problem,” he said. “I think obviously Jason is the one with the most specific, the most harmful intent towards anybody on our show at the moment.”
Tim (Eric Winter) and Lucy (Melissa O’Neil) were also still broken up. When it came to offering fans hope, all Hawley would say was, “I think we have to walk that line on, what does it look like if they’re finding their way back to whatever a relationship looks like with them in the short term and then also the long term, which are not necessarily the same thing? How do we keep the—look audiences want the will they, won’t they, we know that from the history of television. It’s the wanting that’s the most dramatic. How do we get back to a place where we can have that?”
When is The Rookie Season 7 premiere date?
ABC announced its 2024-2025 programming slate, in addition to its fall 2024 schedule, on May 14. The Rookie was among those shows being held for 2025. On November 11, ABC announced its midseason schedule. The Rookie Season 7 will premiere on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, after Will Trent‘s Season 3 premiere and High Potential‘s midseason return.
Who is in The Rookie Season 7 cast?
Between seasons, Tru Valentino exited the drama, so we’ll have to see how he’s written out. We do expect Nathan Fillion (Nolan), Mekia Cox (Harper), Alyssa Diaz (Lopez), Richard T. Jones (Grey), O’Neil, Winter, Shawn Ashmore (Wesley), Lisseth Chavez (Celina), and Dewan to all be back.
Joining the cast for Season 7 in recurring roles are Deric Augustine and Patrick Keleher, playing rookies. Augustine’s Miles, as a Texas transfer, is considered a “rookie” despite being a two-year veteran of the force. Keleher’s Seth seems like the ideal police officer, but the job requires quick, decisive action—something that doesn’t come naturally to him
