It’s quite the week for network television.

On Sunday evening, we welcomed a new American Idol champion (congratulations, Jamal!), while on Tuesday night (May 21), we’ll have to bid farewell to Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Survivor as each series airs its season finale.

In positive news, ABC has unveiled its primetime lineup for the fall 2025 season. The Chris O’Donnell-fronted 9-1-1 Nashville spinoff will join 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy on Thursday evenings. Meanwhile, Wednesdays on ABC will feature a mix of two comedies (Shifting Gears and Abbott Elementary) and two reality series (The Golden Bachelor and Shark Tank).

And what about our favorite The Rookie? We have news on the future of the cherished Nathan Fillion-led police drama. More episodes are indeed on the horizon, but the series won’t be returning this autumn. So, when does The Rookie Season 8 premiere on ABC? Here’s all the information you need.

Is The Rookie On Tonight (5/20/25)?

Nope. The season finale of The Rookie aired Tuesday, May 13 on ABC. Tonight’s ABC primetime schedule consists of new episodes of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! Masters, followed by a rerun of The Game Show Show.

How Many Episodes Are There of The Rookie Season 7?

The seventh season consists of 18 total episodes.

Will There Be A Season 8 of The Rookie On ABC?

When Does The Rookie Return With New Episodes On ABC? The Rookie Season 8 Premiere Date:
