The highly anticipated trailer for The Rookie Season 7 has officially dropped, offering fans a thrilling glimpse into the action-packed return of their favorite characters. Picking up from the dramatic cliffhanger at the end of Season 6, the trailer hints at the fallout from Monica’s (Bridget Regan) decision to release Oscar (Matthew Glave) and Bailey’s (Jenna Dewan) ex-husband Jason (Steve Kazee) from prison, setting the stage for intense new conflicts and perilous situations.
The latest trailer reveals that John Nolan, portrayed by Nathan Fillion, will once again lead the Los Angeles Police Department as they tackle a fresh wave of crime and danger. Alongside familiar faces like Tim Bradford (Eric Winter), Nyla Harper (Mekia Cox), and Wade Grey (Richard T. Jones), Nolan and his colleagues gear up for a high-stakes raid on a criminal hideout, joined by a SWAT team. New footage also showcases Nolan and Celina Juarez (Lisseth Chavez) on patrol, Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil) reflecting on her role as a police officer, and the team uncovering a buried body. In a lighter moment, Nolan humorously advises Juarez, “Work smarter, not harder,” after crashing his scooter into a suspect attempting to flee.
Season 7 will premiere on ABC on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, and promises to bring even more action, suspense, and character-driven drama to the screen.
What to Expect from The Rookie Season 7
The new trailer hints at a series of exciting and unpredictable cases for Nolan and the LAPD, although it remains tight-lipped about the major story arcs that fans are eagerly awaiting. While specific details are scarce, the trailer teases various storylines, including a buried body and a tense vehicle chase involving Nolan and Juarez. Notably, Bailey, played by Jenna Dewan, is absent from the trailer, as the actress is on maternity leave and will miss the first few episodes of the season.
Though the trailer focuses on the team’s day-to-day work, handling both petty offenders and dangerous criminals, it offers only a brief preview of the looming threats posed by Monica, Oscar, and Jason. For now, the police officers must navigate these immediate challenges while keeping an eye on these unresolved dangers. It’s unclear whether the characters are fully prepared to confront these returning antagonists, but with their expertise, they are certainly up for whatever comes their way.
