Fans were left doing double-takes on Facebook this week when a post boldly announced: âThe Rookie season 26!â Yes, you read that right â not Season 7, not even 8 â but straight to 26.
Naturally, the internet did what it does best: laugh, meme, and maybe secretly hope itâs true. Because letâs face it, the idea of Nathan Fillion still chasing perps at age 75 while cracking dad jokes is the kind of TV chaos weâd all binge.
What Would Season 26 Even Look Like?
-
John Nolan finally becomes not the rookie⌠but maybe the departmentâs grandpa-in-residence. đ´
-
High-speed chases get replaced by âhigh-speed scooter pursuits.â đľđ¨
-
Instead of interrogations, suspects are guilt-tripped with stories starting with âBack in my dayâŚâ
-
The LAPD uniforms? Now upgraded with orthopedic shoes and free vitamin D supplements.
And yet⌠doesnât it sound kind of amazing? Fans in the comments seem to agree, with thousands reacting, sharing, and joking that theyâd absolutely tune in for Nolan: The Retirement Years.
So, Is It Real?
Sadly, no â Season 26 hasnât actually been announced. But given how popular The Rookie remains, whoâs to say the show wonât hit that milestone one day? For now, weâll just keep enjoying the real seasons⌠while secretly hoping Facebook just spoiled the ultimate series finale twist.
