In the weeks that have followed, Nathan, 53, has also been sharing updates and revealed that onlookers had been trying to take pictures and footage of them in LA. “I have learned that an excellent metric for how well a show is doing is the measure of shamelessness of looky loos and paparazzi when on location,” he captioned a video.
Eric Winter, who plays Tim Bradford, has also posted highlights from the set. “Always action packed on @therookieabc Some fun BTS for all of you patiently waiting for season 7! #bradford #underfire #therookie #letsgo,” he wrote last week.
Set to return in January 2025, The Rookie’s latest instalment will consist of 18 episodes, and this time the weekly schedule will go uninterrupted. Currently, details about the plot are limited, but there have been some updates on the cast.
This month, it was confirmed that Deric Augustine and Patrick Keleher had signed on as recurring guest stars. Deric – who has previously appeared in episodes of Shameless, Godfather of Harlem and All American – will play Miles. Billed as “one of the newest rookies at the LAPD. As a Texas transfer, Miles is a ‘rookie’ despite being a two-year veteran of the force.”
Meanwhile, Patrick – a theatre star – will make his TV debut as Seth in The Rookie. Per the show’s description, Seth “seems like the ideal police officer, but the job requires quick, decisive action — something that doesn’t come naturally to Seth.”
