The Rookie Season 7 is in full swing, and as the action ramps up, you may be wondering when the next episode is dropping.
The Rookie Season 6, while only 10 episodes long, still managed to pack a punch. We had weddings and car chase sequences galore, setting Nolan and the crew up for plenty of personal and professional dramas ahead.
We’re only ten episodes into Season 7, but that doesn’t mean the team has had it easy. In Episode 10 alone, Miles is assigned to track down a troublesome raccoon, Nolan and Lucy handle a stabbing case, and there was a shocking revelation about Seth’s cancer diagnosis.
The new episode of the police drama is set to take place during a hostage situation, so be sure to tune in at the right place and time.

There will be 18 episodes total in Season 7.

“My end goal for The Rookie is Grey’s Anatomy,” Hawley told TheWrap. “I would love that show to keep going for the foreseeable future.”
Considering Grey’s Anatomy is now 21 seasons strong, that’s a pretty good sign.
“We have done stuff this season that we’ve never done before, which, after 100 and something episodes, is great,” he added. “I feel like that show will go for a long time. People seem to like it and show up.”
