‘The Rookie’ Earns Record High Ratings as Fans Worry About Season 9 Chances

WHAT TO KNOW
*The Rookie achieved a major ratings win with the January 20 episode.
*This comes as some fans have become concerned about the show’s future.
This should ease any concerns about The Rookie‘s future after Melissa O’Neil‘s post about Season 8 wrapping, which had some fans worried. The series is doing great.
For the final episode that aired on a Tuesday — after the January 20 episode, it moved to Mondays — The Rookie was watched by 9.65 million viewers and scored a 2.08 rating among adults 18-49 when taking into account seven days of multi-platform viewing. It’s the show’s best performance among total viewers in over five years, since the May 10, 2020, episode. That was the Season 2 finale.
That episode saw David Krumholtz guest star as a man that Nolan (Nathan Fillion) picked up for trespassing in a rec center, only for his prints to match to an unsolved triple homicide. What followed were outstanding interrogation room scenes and the LAPD saving a young girl who had been thought to be one of his victims — as well as another one he’d just kidnapped
