The end of May used to be a time when you could catch up on a few TV shows you might have missed during the first half of the year. But not anymore!
Netflix’s list of the most popular TV shows currently includes a variety of exciting new documentaries — such as The Tylenol Murders and American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden — as well as trending new series like Sirens, The Four Seasons, and She the People that will definitely keep you entertained for hours on end. With so many options available for streaming, it can be challenging to decide what to watch with the limited time we have.
Amid the continuous release of new series by streaming giants like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO, some of your favorite network shows may currently be on a break. For instance, ABC’s beloved series Grey’s Anatomy is taking its customary summer hiatus (although Season 21 will be available on Netflix starting June 14), while CBS hits like Matlock and Fire Country are on break until the autumn season kicks off. Tuesday nights were typically the time to catch the latest episode of The Rookie, but unfortunately, fans will have to wait a bit longer as the popular show is currently on an extended pause.
When does The Rookie return with new episodes? Here’s everything you need to know.
As per recent updates, the conclusion of the seventh season of The Rookie was aired on ABC on Tuesday, May 13. For tonight’s primetime lineup on ABC, viewers can look forward to new episodes of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! Masters, followed by a rerun of The Game Show Show later in the evening.
Nope. The seventh season consists of 18 total episodes.
You know it! In April 2025, ABC renewed The Rookie for an eighth season. Per Deadline, the upcoming season is expected to consist of 18 episodes.
Unfortunately, The Rookie isn’t on ABC’s 2025 fall schedule. Just like last season, the network is holding The Rookie and Will Trent for midseason. No official premiere dates have been announced, but both shows are expected to return in January 2026.
Yes! Every episode of The Rookie is currently streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
If you’re new to Hulu, you can get started with a 30-day free trial on the streamer’s basic (with ads) plan. After the trial period, you’ll pay $9.99/month. If you want to upgrade to Hulu ad-free, it costs $18.99/month.
If you want to stream even more and save a few bucks a month while you’re at it, we recommend subscribing to one of the Disney+ Bundles, all of which include Hulu. These bundles start at $10.99/month for ad-supported Disney+ and Hulu and goes up to $29.99/month for Disney+, Hulu, and Max, all ad-free.
