The Rookie sure knows how to leave its fans needing more immediately — and that makes the wait until the Season 9 premiere in2027 feel even longer. The ABC drama has become a midseason series in recent years, and such will remain the case in the 2026-2027 season.
And so it will be months before we learn what happens to Tim (Eric Winter) and Lucy (Melissa O’Neil) after their joyous moment on the beach (he finally proposed, and she said yes) was rudely interrupted by some people working for one of their current ongoing antagonists, Everett (Jeffrey Vincent Parise). But that’s not the only loose end after the Season 8 finale. There’s another recurring villain still out there, there’s the matter of what a wedding could look like, and so much more.
Below, we take a look at our burning questions for Season 9. Let us know yours in the comments section.
