The Rookie season 7: everything we know about the police drama

Nothing seems to be slowing Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) down, as he and his fellow officers are going full steam ahead with The Rookie season 7.

The series has become ABC's premier crime procedural and continues to wow viewers who clamor for more. Unfortunately, in a bit of sad news for fans, the new season of The Rookie won't be debuting this fall, along with its usual Tuesday night partner Will Trent.

Want to know what the hold-up is? Here's everything we know about The Rookie season 7.

The Rookie season 7 release date

New episodes of The Rookie and Will Trent won't be seen this September/October when ABC rolls out its fall 2024 TV schedule. Instead, both series are premiering as a part of the network's midseason rollout, meaning The Rookie season 7 won't debut until sometime in 2025. So if you missed any of the season 6 episodes, you have plenty of time to watch them on Hulu.

The Rookie is an ABC original series and new episodes air live directly on the broadcast network. For those that have cut ties with traditional cable/satellite television, ABC is available on live TV streaming services such as Fubo, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV. New episodes can also be streamed the next day on Hulu.

There is no official timetable for when season 7 episodes air in the UK, but they're likely to join previous episodes on Sky TV via Sky Witness.
