Nathan Fillion Confirms ‘The Rookie’ Season 8 with Heartfelt Message
Hey everyone, I’ve got some amazing news for all the fans of The Rookie — and trust me, it’s the kind of update that gives you goosebumps in the best way. Nathan Fillion, our very own Officer John Nolan, has officially confirmed that The Rookie is coming back for Season 8! That’s right — the drama, the action, the heart, all of it is sticking around for another round this fall on ABC.
The news broke on April 3 through The Rookie 's official Instagram, and Nathan quickly followed up by sharing the video to his own page. But he didn’t just repost it — he delivered a powerful and heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s been on this journey with him. In his caption, he opened up about just how rare and special it is for a show to reach this kind of longevity. “I’ve been around long enough to know how truly challenging and rare it is to have a long running show,” he wrote. “Thank you all for sticking around for these 7 seasons — it’s because of you that we are announcing season 8!!”

And you could just feel the pride and gratitude pouring out of his words. He gave a huge shoutout to the showrunner, Alexi Hawley, and the entire team behind the scenes, calling them a “wonderful team” and expressing how proud he is to work with them.
Fans? They absolutely lost it. Comments poured in immediately, filled with love and excitement. People are saying things like, “This show is the only good thing in my life,” and “Well deserved! So excited for Season 8!” It’s clear that The Rookie isn’t just another police drama — it’s a show that people have emotionally invested in. The characters, the relationships, the stories — it all means something deeper to the audience.
And here’s the kicker: Season 7 isn’t even done yet. There’s still more drama on the way before we even hit Season 8. The April 8 episode, titled Three Billboards , teases some serious personal crossroads for Nolan and Bailey as they explore the idea of adoption. At the same time, the LAPD is neck-deep in a chaotic investigation involving a car bombing and a series of anti-police billboards popping up across Los Angeles.
It’s a reminder that The Rookie is not slowing down anytime soon. The show still has so much more to explore — both in terms of character development and gripping cases. And knowing that we’ve got another season coming? That just makes it even sweeter.
So if you’re a fan, now’s the time to celebrate. Nathan Fillion’s message is more than just an update — it’s a thank you letter to all of us who’ve stayed loyal through every episode, every twist, and every cliffhanger. Here’s to Season 8, and here’s to the journey still ahead. Let’s do this.
