‘The Rookie’ Season 7 Will Makes the Stakes More “Dangerous” For These Characters

Although fans won’t be getting another season of ABC’s The Rookie until 2025, showrunner Alexi Hawley has some early teases for the upcoming season. While speaking with TV Insider, Hawley pointed out how season 6’s finale will have a direct connection with the new season, especially with how complicated things would get for Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and Bailey (Jenna Dewan) due to Bailey’s ex-husband Jason’s (Steve Kazee) prison escape.

“The stakes are there. Obviously, there’s a danger lurking,” the showrunner explains. “On the completely practical side, Jenna [Dewan]’s about to have a baby in real life, so we do have to navigate that at the beginning of the season. So I think we’ll have to slow roll slightly and that, but yeah, look, especially in the adoption story, they do live dangerous lives. She’s going to have an ex-husband slash stalker out there. How does that impact them on a personal level will be interesting to explore.”

Earlier in April, The Rookie was renewed for a seventh season; however, during ABC’s announcement of their fall schedule for scripted and unscripted programming, it was revealed that season 7 would be placed on hold until next year. As of right now, no details have been revealed yet about the upcoming season, but fans can expect the storyline to explore the unfinished twists from season 6, including how the villains who escaped in the finale are getting by.
