RookieHis return is just around the corner and Season 7 is bringing more drama, more baddies, and more hot scenes with Chenford!
IN Us WeeklyIn an exclusive first look at the official Season 7 trailer, it’s clear that the LAPD has its hands full now that two criminals are on the run — one being Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) wife, Bailey Nune (Jenna Dewan), ex-husband, Jason Wyler (Steve Kazee).
“These are violent criminals, so they’re not going to go easy,” Tim Bradford (Eric Winter) teases in the trailer before scenes of the LAPD taking down one bad guy after another flash across the screen.
After Nyla Harper (Mayor Cox) tells the area that both Oscar Hutchinson (Matthew Head) and Jason are still “on the loose”, Nolan begins to worry about Bailey’s safety.
“Jason running away puts my wife’s life in danger,” Nolan says after his husband admits, “There’s a lot I haven’t told you about Jason.”
In a key scene, paramedic/firefighter Bailey steps out of her rig and appears to be face-to-face with Jason, who looks like he might run her over with his car.
“Being a cop is stressful, 24/7,” Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil) says as the action-packed moments continue to play in the background. “In this work we have to separate ourselves from the personal. It’s the hardest thing we have to do.”
Suspense, action and fear aren’t the only thrills viewers will feel this season. There also seem to be some lighthearted moments, as Nolan “commandeers” a scooter to catch a suspect.
“How the hell did you get here before me?” his partner Celina Juarez (Lisseth Chavez) asks when she arrives behind Nolan on stage. “Work harder and not smarter,” he says as he hustles and puffs from the chase.
Plus, Lucy and Tim (aka Chenford) engage in a playful game of who can train the best newbie, hinting that their icy exchanges to end Season 6 are finally over.
The Rookie cast is bona fide stars, including Nathan Fillion, Jenna Dewan, Alyssa Diaz and Richard T. Jones, and fans are obsessed with their love lives — on and off camera. The ABC series follows the story of John Nolan, a 40-year-old recently divorced who decides to pursue a career as a police officer (…)
The pair, who have been dating before, also have a very hot moment together, giving fans even more hope that they will get back together again.
“You shouldn’t,” Lucy tells Tim as he stands shirtless in front of her in one scene. “I know,” Tim replies. The pair then lean closer before the camera pans away.
“Every year at work is different. Every case is different. You never stop being a rookie,” Harper teases.
Angela Lopez (Alyssa Diaz) ominously warns: “Because if we lose control, bad things happen.”
Season 7 of Rookie premieres on ABC on Tuesday, January 7 at 10:00 PM ET.
