ABC’s “The Rookie” is officially returning for a 7th season and we’re so excited!
The cast is beyond excited and we’re so happy for there.
Viewers have stayed with the series as Nolan has moved along his LAPD career path: The Feb. 20 season premiere brought in 11.92 million viewers over five weeks of cross-platform viewing, the best single-episode performance for The Rookiesince its second-ever installment in October 2018. Streaming and other delayed viewing added more than 5 million viewers to the premiere’s seven-day linear total, and the episode’s adults 18-49 rating grew by more than four times (0.67 to 2.9).
Congratulations to the cast and crew!
The procedural follows John Nolan (Nathan Fillion), the oldest rookie in the LAPD, who uses his life experience, determination and sense of humor to keep up with rookies 20 years his junior. Nearing the end of his training, Nolan now faces his biggest challenge as a police officer when he must come to terms with the choices he has made in pursuit of the truth. Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Melissa O’Neil, Eric Winter, and Jenna Dewan join Fillion among the cast.
ABC boasts “The Rookie” as the No. 1 show among Adults 18-49 this season in its new Tuesday night programming block at 8 p.m. After making the transition in January, the series has seen an increase of 40% in Total Viewers and by 17% in the key 18-49 demo over the previous season’s comparable weeks. Additionally, the drama is up almost 6 times over its initial Live+Same Day rating in Adults 18-49 with a lift of 426% after 35 days of multiplatform viewing — meaning the series currently bests its prior season by 6% in Total Viewers and by 9% among Adults 18-49 after delayed multiplatform viewing.
Entertainment One (eOne) produces the series in connection with ABC Signature, and is the lead studio and international distributor of “The Rookie.”
