In the Rookie season 4 finale, Tim Bradford (Eric Winter) and Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil) enhanced their bond, keeping Rookie viewers on the edge of their seats. The only thing that is known for certain at this time is that Chenford must act like a pair while carrying out an undercover operation; everything else is uncertain. The ABC procedural show Rookie Season 5 will debut later this year, though, and that much is known.
But besides Chenford’s destiny, a lot of other issues remain unresolved. Will Mekia Cox’s character, Nyla Harper, return from maternity leave? Will she remain Tru Valentino’s T.O., Aaron Thorsen? What’s going on with Bailey Nune (Jenna Dewan) and John Nolan (Nathan Fillion)? Will they get married? How would Mid-Wilshire operate without Tim or Lucy present? It’s a lot to process, but maybe season 5 will quickly offer some answers.
When Will Rookie Season 5 Premiere?
In October 2018, the series’ first season made its debut. The Rookie is a fall series, with September being the most common month for premieres. Season 1 premiered in September 2018, Season 2 in September 2019, Season 4 in January 2021, and Season 4 in September. Will The Rookie’s fifth season adhere to this timetable? Yes!
Rookie season 5 will officially debut on Sunday, September 25, according to ABC, so get ready for that.
The series won’t return to our televisions for a few more months, it’s true, but at least we have a date to mark on our calendars and look forward to. Don’t forget that The Rookie: Feds, a spin-off of the series, will debut this year as well. The spin-off will premiere on September 27, 2022, during the same week as the primary series.
What will be the plot of Rookie Season 5?
Official plot information has not yet been revealed; the previous season concluded in a shocking manner. After eventually graduating as a rookie, Nolan will be elevated to the level of P2 in the future season, which enables him to work as a patrol officer and even independently as he won’t require a trainer any longer.
In the previous season of The Rookie, we witnessed the cops pursuing Reynolds at the USS Iowa Museum and shooting him. Then, Bradford chooses to go with her sister but refuses to see her father, endorsing Nolan in the process for the job of union representative.
While all of this is going on, Lopez files a RICO lawsuit against Stone but soon learns that Grey wants to employ Evers as a spy and that Evers informed them of the lawsuit. It will be intriguing to see what occurs after the next season picks up where the last one left off.
The Expected Cast of Rookie Season 5
In the fifth season, Nathan Fillion will return to the series as John Nolan. Angela Lopez, played by Alyssa Diaz; Wade Grey, played by Richard T. Jones; and Jackson West, played by Titus Makin Jr., are some of the other characters anticipated to make a comeback.
Zoe Andersen, played by Mercedes Mason; Lucy Chen, played by Melissa O’Neil; Talia Bishop, played by Afton Williamson; Tim Bradford, played by Eric Winter; Nyla Harper, played by Mekia Cox; Shawn Ashmore; and Bailey Nune, played by Jenna Dewan; are all expected to return.

Episodes of Rookie Season 5
Although The Rookie Season 5’s exact episode count has not yet been disclosed, we may anticipate that it will fall within the same range as the prior seasons, which typically range from 14 to 22 episodes with an approximate runtime of between 42 and 45 minutes.
The number of episodes for the future season can’t be guaranteed as of now and will ultimately depend on the story that the show wants to tell its viewers. This story has been put into a screenplay to look for and see the untapped dynamics.
