The Rookie Season 3: Release Date and more Updates!

Will “The Rookie” return with its season three? Let’s find out about The Rookie Season 3: Release Date and more Updates!

The Rookie is an American police procedural comedy-drama television series. Alexi Hawley created the series for ABC. The series follows John Nolan, a man in his forties, who becomes the oldest rookie at the Los Angeles Police Department. ABC Studios and Entertainment One produced the series.

The series stars Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin Jr., Mercedes Mason, Melissa O’Neil, Afton Williamson, Mekia Cox, and Eric Winter. The Rookie premiered on 16 October 2018. The first season ran until 16 April 2019. The second season ran from 29 September 2019, to 10 May 2020. In May 2020, ABC renewed the series for a third season.

The series follows John Nolan, a forty-five years old newly divorced man from Pennsylvania. He is the former owner of a construction company and father of a son in college, who, after inadvertently helping police officers during a bank robbery, moves to Los Angeles to pursue a new career as a police officer in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). After graduating from the Police Academy as the oldest rookie on the force, Nolan must navigate the dangerous, unpredictable nature of his job and is determined to make it in his new career despite the challenges.

Series lead Nathan Fillion stated during an interview that the drama was inspired by a true story as the LAPD is one of just two agencies that accept new officers over the age of 37. The man whose story inspired the premise of the show was later revealed to be Bill Norcross, who continues to serve in the LAPD and also as executive producer on The Rookie.
