The wait is over for Aussie fans – The Rookie returns to Seven and 7plus from Monday, 18 August with its long-awaited seventh season.
Nathan Fillion is back in uniform as John Nolan, who rejoins the LAPD after recovering from a gunshot wound, just as two new recruits shake things up at the station.
With tensions high and chaos never far behind, it’s a fresh start for the squad — and a bumpy one for the newcomers.
Following a shortened 10-episode sixth season impacted by the WGA strikes in the states, season 7 bounces back with an almost full slate of 18 episodes.
The new season originally aired earlier this year in the US on ABC, and all six previous seasons are now streaming on 7plus for those ready to catch up or rewatch the action.
