Six seasons in and The Rookie<\/a> goes from strength to strength as the procedural drama continues to follow John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and his work in the LAPD.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve followed Nolan from being the oldest rookie in the force through to getting a rookie of his own in the last fifth season, but where will the show go next? The season 5 finale certainly delivered twists that many fans weren\u2019t expecting as a series of attacks on the police force saw Nolan have to face up to the fact that the perpetrator was someone he didn\u2019t think was guilty.<\/p>\n

The series was renewed for season 6 back in April 2023 and now, with only a few weeks left to go till the anticipated season 6 premiere, excitement for the show is certainly building.<\/p>\n

While plot details have been kept under wraps for now, we do know that Lisseth Chavez, who plays Officer Celina Juarez, has been upped to series regular for the sixth season so we\u2019ll most certainly be seeing more of the newest rookie at the station.<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about The Rookie season 6.<\/p>

It\u2019s been confirmed that The Rookie will be returning for season 6 on Tuesday 20th February at 9pm ET on ABC and Hulu in the US.<\/p>\n

For now, no UK release date for the series has been confirmed<\/strong> but we can expect, like previous seasons, that the series will start airing on Sky Witness at a later date.<\/p>\n

Season 5 premiered in the US in September 2022, with UK viewers only able to watch it on Sky Witness in February 2023 so we\u2019ll be sure to update you as soon as we have a confirmed date for UK fans.<\/p>\n

Who could we see in The Rookie season 6 cast? Cast news<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We can expect the main cast to all be returning, led by Fillion as Nolan, who has more than made a name for himself as an LAPD cop.<\/p>\n

Most recently, it was confirmed that Lisseth Chavez has been promoted to series regular for the upcoming season, meaning we\u2019ll be seeing a lot more of officer Celina Juarez. One character whose future hangs in the balance, though, is Tru Valentino\u2019s Aaron Thorsen.<\/p>\n

After being seen on our screens a lot more in season 5, Thorsen was shot in the season 5 finale and was rushed to hospital. While the surgery went alright, the tense episode ended with Thorsen in a coma and the fate of the character left up in the air.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very likely also that we\u2019ll see the return of Kristian Bruun as the new series villain, after we initially met him in the dramatic season 5 finale.<\/p>\n

The main The Rookie cast that we\u2019d expect to see in season 6 are as follows:<\/p>\n

  • Nathan Fillion\u00a0as John Nolan<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Alyssa Diaz\u00a0as Angela Lopez<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Richard T Jones as Wade Grey<\/strong><\/li>\n
