The Rookie

About The Rookie

Starting over isn't easy, especially for small-town guy John Nolan who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of being an LAPD officer. As the force's oldest rookie, he's met with skepticism from some higher-ups who see him as just a walking midlife crisis.

ABC's The Rookie is a comedy and crime series. Its themes are dramedy, police officer, LAPD, and cautionary.

Since October 2018 it has reached 9 seasons and 145 episodes. It is still in production. Seasons run to about 16 episodes.

Nathan Fillion leads the cast as John Nolan, Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen, Eric Winter as Tim Bradford, and Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez. It was produced by ABC Signature, ABC Studios, and Entertainment One.

American members can watch it on fuboTV, Hulu, and Philo. S.W.A.T., Lethal Weapon, and 9-1-1 make useful companions to The Rookie, all filed under dramatic and police training. TMDB voters put it at 8.5 out of 10 across 3,608 votes and it carries a TV-14 rating.
