Since The Rookie was renewed for season 8, fans can expect to see more of Miles, but there’s a lot that needs to happen in the last few episodes of the season. Viewers anticipate a resolution between Tim and Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil), but if that doesn’t happen, fans will be even more excited to watch the eighth season as hopefully it won’t be too long before they reunite.
The Rookie showrunner Alexi Hawley gave an interview to TV Insider and mentioned that Monica (Bridget Regan), who appeared in season 7, episode 11, “Speed,” will come back for the finale. Hawley said:
“We’re sort of driving towards a big splashy episode, which we like to do obviously at the beginning and the end of the season. I think ultimately it will relaunch potentially some laid aside storylines, but also just really put Nolan in sort of primal jeopardy and then also just see where our station might be headed in Season 8.”
The Rookie season 7, episode 16, “The Return,” focuses on Lucy taking an exam to become a sergeant, along with a case involving an influencer. While some characters have left the series, fans continue to be invested in Nolan and his teammates, who are interesting and dynamic characters. The next few episodes will likely lead to a fascinating and entertaining finale.
