Take that deep breath, Chenford fans. Then take another one. Things are still not where you want them to be, and yes, Chenford is still probably not getting back together before the end of Season 6, but at least now we know there’s a chance The Rookie can fix this. Because yes, the show is now confirmed to be returning for Season 7.
We’re not going to lie, there was concern. The Rookie Season 7 wasn’t a sure thing. And breaking up Chenford with just a few episodes to go in Season 6 and no Season 7 confirmed was giving us heartburn.
Plus, this gives Lucy another chance at her detective exam. And we assume this means we might actually get a Bailan baby? Although this also probably means we’re going to get quite the cliffhanger. That’s kind of what The Rookie likes to do. We’ll prepare either way.
The show is on hiatus right now, and not set to return until April 30th. When it returns, it still has 4 episodes left in this shortened 10-episode season. But at least now we know those 4 episodes will not be the last we will see of those characters. That’s at least a relief. If Chenford doesn’t get back together in those, we can still hope. And, you know, worry.
Bring on the hiatus.
The Rookie airs Tuesdays on ABC.
