The Rookie will continue reporting for duty, TVLine has learned, now that the light ABC procedural has been renewed for Season 7.
TVLine’s Renewal/Cancellation Scorecard has thusly been updated (and we now have a new frontrunner in our annual Keep or Cut poll!)
Season-to-date, the Nathan Fillion-led ensemble series has been averaging more than 6 million total viewers and a 0.6 demo rating (with Live+7 playback), down just a hair from its Season 5 numbers — and while in a tougher time slot, now serving as the “hammock” between Tuesday’s new leadoff hitter, Will Trent, and the final season of The Good Doctor.
Out of the half-dozen dramas that ABC has aired this TV season, The Rookie ranks No. 3 in both measures (trailing only 9-1-1 and Will Trent in audience, and 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy in the demo).
