Deric Augustine, known for his roles in Godfather of Harlem and All American, will play Miles, a rookie with prior experience in Texas. Patrick Keleher, making his TV debut, will portray Seth, another rookie who needs to sharpen his skills under pressure. It remains to be seen if these new recruits will work alongside John Nolan, portrayed by Nathan Fillion, who is now a training officer.

The seventh season of The Rookie will not premiere until January 2025, contrary to the fall schedules of other ABC shows. The decision to delay the premiere aims to capitalize on promotional opportunities during New Year’s and holiday programming. The season will feature 18 uninterrupted episodes, ensuring a strong run of new content.
