But the good news is that the future looks bright as season 7 will seemingly get the show back on track regarding its storylines and execution of said storylines. The Rookie season 7 will consist of 18 episodes and premiere sometime in early 2025 (ABC hasn't announced an official release date yet).

Summary. Jackson West tragically dies in The Rookie season 4 after being shot by kidnappers. Titus Makin Jr. left the show because he did not want to return, citing real-life tragedies. Since leaving The Rookie, Makin Jr. has focused on other acting roles and his music career.

Sadly, a veteran cast member of The Rookie will soon be leaving the show. Word has surfaced that actor Tru Valentino, who portrays Officer Aaron Thorsen, will not be back as a series regular for Season 7. The actor recently confirmed his exit on social media.

In the Season 6 finale of The Rookie, Lucy Chen saved Tim's life, jumping from a car onto a truck during a high-speed chase. Tim thanked Lucy for doing that, and took responsibility for ruining everything. He promised to spend "the rest of [his] life" paying her back for her kindness.

Tru Valentino as Officer Aaron Thorsen in 'The Rookie' on ABC. Officer Thorsen was the TikTok-famous son of a well-known rapper who changed his career to become a police officer. The actor did not elaborate on why he was exiting from the show.

The actor said she was subjected to racism, bullying, sexual harassment and assault, and the character of Bishop was written out of The Rookie. Between Williamson's departure and the exit of Mercedes Mason, the character of Nolan lost two of his biggest allies early in the series.

I don't know how I never thought that the story might be real and this is probably known info to all of you but I had no clue the Rookie was based on a real guy called William Norcross and he's an executive producer on the show too.

However, before the sophom*ore season's airing, Williamson had already announced her departure from The Rookie. In an Instagram post, she cited racial discrimination, sexual harassment, and bullying as reasons for her exit from the show.

Why was Jackson killed off? ›

In a TVLine interview, Hawley said that Jackson's death wasn't because of his, or any writer's, decision: "What I can say is that Titus [Makin Jr.] was not coming back to the show, so we needed to do the best that we could to honor the character who's been so primally a part of the show."

Is Aaron in season 7 of The Rookie? Sergeant Aaron Thorsen is departing the Mid-Wilshire division. Deadline has confirmed that Tru Valentino, who joined the ABC series in Season 4, will not be returning for Season 7.

Since Chenford's breakup in episode 6, the two characters have done little to work through their problems. Individually, Tim started attending therapy to work through his troubles, but he and Lucy haven't come together to address their obstacles as a couple.

In fact, the actress' real-life pregnancy was written into her storyline as Detective Nyla Harper on The Rookie.

As is so often the case, “The Rookie” Season 6 ended with a cliffhanger on Tuesday night, wrapping up the 10-episode season with some big busts — and even an international one for Nolan (Nathan Fillion). The Season 6 finale also saw the downfall of Monica.
