The Rookie fans have been waiting a while for Season 6 to premiere, and the wait isn’t over yet.

It’s been over seven months since The Rookie Season 5 finale aired on ABC.

The Writers Strike and the SAG-AFTRA strike delayed Season 6, but thankfully, there’s good news for The Rookie fans.

Filming for Season 6 of The Rookie has begun with several cast members using social media to reveal their excitement about being back at work.

“The band is back together….And @nathanfillion clearly didn’t like my joke. #therookie let’s roll. 🚓🚑👮🏼‍♂️,” Eric Winter (Bradford) shared in an Instagram post.

ABC has also given The Rookie fans something to look forward to with a first-look teaser and premiere date.

Let’s look at what we know about The Rookie Season 6.

The Rookie Season 6 trailer and premiere date

ABC has teased the upcoming season of The Rookie with a quick video clip to promote the show. The footage shared on the show’s official Instagram account doesn’t reveal major spoilers.

Instead, the video teases the Mid-Wilshire team is stronger together with glimpses of the drama unfolding, including a car chase, breaking down a door, explosions, and more, as the voiceover reiterates the strength of the group.

It also promotes the premiere date of the new season. The Rookie Season 6 will premiere Tuesday, February 20, at 9/8c on ABC.
