Pictured also is creator and showrunner Alexi Hawley, alongside a plethora of crew members setting the stage for filming.
The Rookie Season 7 Will Offer Plenty Of New Stories & Danger
While details on The Rookie season 7 are sparse, the setup from season 6 indicates there will be plenty of new dangers and interesting stories ahead in the next batch of episodes. Alongside Jason’s return, the season 6 finale also set the stage for new dynamics between Tim and Lucy, with the sergeant now seeking even more avenues for personal growth in his life. This highlights how important interpersonal relationships are to the series, and how they’ll continue to be significant despite the looming threats moving forward.
Beyond its story, though, other changes will be coming to the show during its upcoming season. The biggest alteration is that The Rookie won’t come back until early 2025, a stark difference from its usual starting point in the fall. This decision was made by ABC to accommodate the many new shows on the network, indicating season 7 will still be a full season despite the change in its release schedule. This means the pacing is unlikely to alter from previous years, the only big difference being a longer wait for the season to begin.
In addition, Jenna Dewan, who portrays Bailey Nune, will be absent for the start of the season because of her pregnancy, her daughter being born on June 14, 2024. This means the storyline involving Jason likely won’t begin until after she returns to the show, meaning the start of the season will have a different focus. Although The Rookie season 7’s long wait and cast absences will shake things up at the start, the overarching story involving Monica alongside plenty of character plots could make this season one of the most exciting entries so far.
