With the way things ended in Season 5, we need to see what’s next for the LAPD. When will The Rookie Season 6 premiere on ABC?
The fifth season of The Rookie ended with a major cliffhanger. Thorsen’s life was left on the line. Despite making it out of surgery, he started crashing in the recovery room with Juarez only able to look on.
We need to know how all that plays out. The bad news is we have to wait for that. The Rookie Season 6 is not on the list of shows that will premiere in November 2023 on ABC. In fact, we’re not getting this season at all this year. We’ll have to wait for at least a few more months.
When will The Rookie Season 6 premiere?
The big question now is when we’ll get to see the new season. We don’t have a straight answer to that question to yet.
This is a show that has been caught up in the strike action. While the WGA strike has now come to an end, the SAG-AFTRA strike is still ongoing at the time of writing this. So, while the writing can start, production can’t.
At least scripts can be ready for when the actors get back to work. This will help to keep some of the delay to a minimum, but we’re looking at a 2024 premiere for the series. When in 2024? We could be looking at March right now. It really will depend on when the actors go back to work after negotiations finally come to an end.
At least we know that this season is happening. The Rookie: Feds remains in limbo, and that’s not a good sign. It does look like the show will become a victim of the strike.
The Rookie is available to stream on Hulu.
