In a surprising turn of events, Tru Valentino, who has portrayed Officer Aaron Thorsen in the popular ABC drama “The Rookie,” will not be returning for Season 7. The news, first reported by TVLine and later confirmed by TV Insider, has left fans wondering about the future of his character as the series gears up for its midseason return in 2025.
Valentino’s Impact on ‘The Rookie’
Valentino joined “The Rookie” during its fourth season, quickly becoming a fan favorite. His character, Aaron Thorsen, was introduced as a rookie cop with a controversial past—having been acquitted of murder before joining the LAPD. Over the course of two seasons, Thorsen’s journey was marked by personal growth and professional challenges, resulting in his decision to seek therapy after being shot in the Season 5 finale.
Season 6 Recap and Season 7 Expectations
As per a report by TV Insider, “The Rookie” Season 6 concluded without a direct cliffhanger but left viewers with several unresolved plotlines. The officers, including John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and Nyla Harper (Mekia Cox), faced a series of threats that will undoubtedly carry over into Season 7. Notably, Monica (Bridget Regan) escaped during the chaos, and Bailey’s (Jenna Dewan) ex-husband, Jason (Steve Kazee), was freed from prison with the help of Oscar (Matthew Glave).
Executive producer Alexi Hawley has hinted at the dangers looming for the characters, particularly focusing on Jason as a significant threat. “I think Jason’s probably the most immediate problem,” Hawley mentioned in a post-finale interview.
