The Rookie season 7 finale is coming up soon, and in a recent interview, showrunner Alexi Hawley shared what fans can expect from the upcoming episode.
After a season that brought back Seth Ridley (Patrick Keheler) and featured more than a few memorable cases, the season 7 finale is highly anticipated. The Rookie premiered on ABC in 2018 and follows John Nolan (Nathan Fillion), a rookie LAPD officer who is notable thanks to the fact that he starts his second career at an older age than the others. The series dives into the lives of its compelling and dynamic cast of characters that includes Nolan’s wife Bailey Nune (Jenna Dewan) and smart and compassionate officers Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil), Angela Lopez (Alyssa Diaz), and Nyla Harper (Mekia Cox).
What Did Showrunner Alexi Hawley Say About The Rookie Season 7 Finale?
In an interview with Deadline, Alexi Hawley shared what fans can expect from The Rookie season 7 finale and mentioned that John Nolan and Nyla Harper will chase down Oscar Hutchinson (Matthew Glave). Hawley said:
“on the Oscar front, Nolan and Harper going out into the desert, it’ll be a big action movie; there will be pretty big action set pieces at the end.”
In the same interview, Hawley also answered a question about Pete Davidson returning to play Nolan’s half-brother Pete. The showrunner said Davidson didn’t come back recently thanks to his schedule, but suggested it could be possible for season 8. Hawley said:
“Pete Davidson is someone we’re desperate to get back, and he loves doing the show. His reps have reached out to us about him doing the show, it’s just about trying to land when he’s actually available, because he’s super busy. Hopefully in Season 8 we can get Pete back, that would be great.”
