Can I Watch The Rookie Season 6 Finale On Hulu?

You bet. The season finale will be available for next-day streaming on Hulu and ABC.com beginning Tuesday, May 22.

Will There Be A Season 7 Of The Rookie?

Yes! In April 2024, ABC renewed The Rookie for a seventh season.

When Does The Rookie Return With New Episodes?

As we mentioned above, The Rookie was recently renewed for a seventh season, but, unfortunately, the series isn’t on ABC’s fall schedule. The network is holding both Will Trent and The Rookie for midseason debuts, allowing the shows to have mostly uninterrupted runs.

“Both of those shows are firing on all cylinders, both in terms of ratings and the performance we see on Hulu,” Disney Television Group president Craig Erwich told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview. “We’ll launch them in January, when we have huge promotional platforms in New Year’s Rockin Eve, as well as college football and a huge slate of Christmas programming. To have those shows go uninterrupted just felt like the best way to keep growing them, which is our goal.”

Will Trent and The Rookie should return in January 2025, with both shows likely to air 18 episode seasons.
