The countdown to The Rookie’s return begins! ABC has confirmed the hit police procedural will return on Tuesday January 7 at 10pm after new seasons of Will Trent and High Potential.
Nathan Fillion and the cast all appeared in a new promo video, taken on the set which teases the return, with Nathan – who plays Officer John Nolan – opening the video inside a cast bus, telling the viewer: “The fact is we’re back.”
Eric Winter and Melissa O’Neil both then scream “season seven,” before the video cuts to Melissa, Eric and others including Richard T Jones reminding those watching to tune in.
Alongside fan favorites including John, Lucy Chen, Tim Bradford and Angela Lopez, season seven will also introduce two newcomers: Deric Augustine and Patric Keleher, who both appeared in an earlier teaser trailer.
Miles, played by Deric, has been billed as “one of the newest rookies at the LAPD” but is a “two-year veteran of the force” after working in Texas. Seth, meanwhile, “seems like the ideal police officer, but the job requires quick, decisive action — something that doesn’t come naturally to Seth.”
